Hotel Seri Malaysia Kepala Batas — Hotel in Penang

They served the custom-made vegetable soup with deep fried shallot, most probably with chicken stock soup (most probably not even fit into Indian vegetarian criteria though I didn't see any chicken pieces nor beef pieces nor tasted like cow bone broth soup). Anyway the soup tasted good and palatable, thank God I'm not vegetarian that day since I'm currently not life long strictly vegetarian nor vegan nor fully 100% plant based eater.

I would strongly suggest the hotel chef study further some about the different diet and explore more custom-made diet e.g. *pescatarian diet *ovo-vegetarian diet *lacto-vegetarian diet *ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet *Indian vegetarian diet *Ninth month Lunar calendar vegetarian diet (I think 100% they won't dine in this hotel because they have strict protocol to walk on flamed charcoal and usually they dine in places with yellow banner printed with red Chinese Han characters, all cooking equipment has to be solely for the strict religious vegetarian only) *Guan Yin vegetarian diet *whole food plant based diet *vegan diet *Jainism diet *Seventh Day Adventist diet *maybe other vegetarian / plant based diet that I never know about since I have not heard of

Anyway, thanks for the courtesy though I'm just ordering no beef and no cow bone broth soup and less spicy vegetable food, definitely not ordering vegetarian food LMAO (yes, I have bad experiences when Malay stall hawker offered me a cow bone broth vegetable soup while I don't eat any product with relations to cow and I asked them 'Vegetable soup, no cow?' they replied me 'Yea, no cow' and then served me weeks of cow bone broth and how did I find out? My Sarawakian college friend tried my soup and since they are Christians they are good to eat anything without any other religion prayers on the food they are good to go and she told me it's cow bone broth but my religion doesn't permit me to take any cow product so I won't know it's cow bone broth; I thought the 'chicken soup' is oddly soury taste most probably due to Malay traditional spices seasoning LOL and then I asked the hawker and then only he admitted 'Yea, it's cow bone broth' . What the heck! 'Isn't cow bone is part of a cow????! If I offer you vegetable soup and I said no pork no pig but I gave pig bone stew soup, will you Muslims consume the soup and consider halal??? No wonder I gotten all these heaty headache for so many days, thanks to your 'no cow soup' =/' Since ever then I never visit the Malay hawker stall ever again. And I do suffer from dyshidrotic eczema and prickly heat rash too, so I'm concern about way too spicy food and heat wave is around plus I could have survive all year long without any flake...

So, I booked a night at this hotel thru @g0d@ only to find out that I got the WRONG check-in DATE! All has been paid. I was supposed to stay earlier but the online booking system automatically changed the date (I'm guessing due to unavailability of the room at that time).. Silly me also because I never checked the dates properly upon confirming the booking. ANYWAY, days has passed and I just came to the hotel to get a receipt for the booking for company claim purpose (because I have already paid for it). Guess what? the hotel staff told me that she will ask the manager to see if she can arrange a night's stay there to compensate for my loss, for FREE (of course technically I've already paid for that although I did not check in prior). So, the manager quickly confirm and I got my room at that day.. Thank you Seri Malaysia Kepala Batas for that. The room is clean, cozy, spacious and somewhat modern comparing to other Seri Malaysia Hotel that I have stayed before. Views are stunning. Very large window. Good wifi connection. Although the pillow is abit thin and uncomfortable. There's not much choices on the breakfast menu either. But anyway, i would definitely stay here again if i had the chance since this is the...

I was there to conduct 2 days training. As I walked to the front desk, 2 ladies welcomed me with a genuine smile, and they were we warm.||Then, I was invited by the hotel manager, Mr. Santhanam to have tea with him. Afterward he personally ushered me to my room together with another staff, Akmal. ||What I felt was even they were not a 5 star hotel but their genuine willingness to serve like really impressed me.||I though, that was it but when got into my room the was a welcoming gift with a letter from the manager. Not only that, there was a fruit basket as well. I never expected this from a 2 star hotel.||I was very happy staying there for 3 nights. Whenever I request for something, they respond to it with smiles. I loved it. ||I must give credit to their technician, En Syaiful, who was very accommodation to all my request, even though I was very 'cerewet' - fussy.|| ||Really didn't expect such a high standard of service in a small town hotel. Highly recommend for those who like to be treated like VIP in a hotel. I would like to thank all of you at Seri Malaysia, Kepala Batas and I am looking forward for my...
