The anchor buffet option at Copthorne King’s Hotel is a delicious means to devour a smorgasbord of heritage delights in one sitting. The spread spans everything from char kway teow, rojak, nasi lemak and mutton rendang, to Penang specialities. You have assam laksa, duck drumstick and vermicelli in herbal soup, as well as authentic delicacies like chap chye, kueh pie tee and pig stomach soup. Star dishes at the live cooking station, such as the Penang Hokkien mee are tasty enough to rival top hawker stalls—just don’t expect too much from the drinks selection. Complementing the dated but warm decor is a nostalgic buffet and warm, efficient service from kebaya-donning waitstaff, making this an underrated option to entertain companions.
