Club lounge, Victoria Annex, Eastern & Oriental Penang

The hotel offers a complimentary afternoon tea from 5-6pm each day on 6/F lounge club.  Out of curiosity, I'd try for once, and this once is the last time.  Not because it's not good but in fact all the snacks and drinks are beyond my expectation, it's simply the other guests who really don't have any manner and rush to the table with their bath clothes, swim wear...etc. and even not care about the hotel waiters courteously requested them to dress in proper attire.  As when the waiters/waitresses welcomed them for "good afternoon", no one cared but then rushed in like hungry dogs fighting for shit.
However, this lounge served continental breakfast in addition to the Restaurant Sarkies serving breakfast buffet.  So the next day I came here for a tranquil breakfast (photo 5-8).  It seems not many prefer continental breakfast, but it doesn't bother me as long as I have some bread, fruits and coffee.

This high tea is too good to be free of charge.
No wonder some hungry people cannot wait to come here with swimming wears.

When all the guests can get this complimentary high tea, that means their room cost already covered this part. So on the surface, it looks free but it's not when you pay for a higher room cost. So those interesting people should think about it, and enjoy what it should be, instead of rivalling to get whatever on the table. Besides, the hotel is nice to have a team of waiters/waitresses to greet each guest but in the end all the guests just rushed in like refugees.

I think they want to make their room price worth with that is why they hurry to get all the free food.
In fact, there are quite some high end refugees in our area too.
