Celebrate Oktoberfest 2018 @ Golden Sands Resort by Shangri-La, Penang

Golden Sands Resorts by Shangri-La in Penang pulled an extraordinary Oktoberfest on 17th October 2018. It was a great night full of fun, dancing, music, camaraderie, food (an array of sausages), Lederhosen, beers and many more! This marks our first times taking part in the largest Volksfest though not in Munich Germany but the experiences were rewarding!

Thanks to Golden Sands Resort's team for hosting us that evening.

Sigi's Bar & Grill was transformed into a miniature Bavarian village during the Oktoberfest night. Ladies crews were clad on Fraulein costumes and tables were decorated with blue checkered tablecloth. The buffet spreads covered an array of German dishes such as Bratwurst, Bratkartoffeln. Sauerkraut, Chicken Schnitzels, Beef Goulash, Pretzels, desserts and etc. 

While indulging the mouth-watering dishes, all the guests were entertained by Frankenräuber band, who came all the way from Germany. Apart of traditional and contemporary music, they even did some amazing performance such as playing flute using nose, blowing music using a watering can, Alphorn (Swiss musical instruments) performance and many more! One of the guy from the band even chugged at least 6 mugs of beers and still standing strong end of the night! 

Of course, there are German beers - erdinger weissbier for those who can have a cup or two. Guests were brought to enjoy bits of Oktoberfest by engaging in a beer drinking competition. Those who went to challenge their own limit walked away with a limited edition of Oktoberfest mug.

We thoroughly enjoyed the event and congratulations to Golden Sands Resorts by Shangri-La team and crew who pulled off a successful event like this, allowing us to enjoy and experience this German culture. Looking forward for more events by the award winning resort!
