5 of the best Ramadan buffets at hotels in Kuala Lumpur

The Juadah Iftar Kampung buffet, which includes more than 50 different dishes, is being served at The Westin Kuala Lumpur daily during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan until June 12.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims do not eat, drink, engage in sex or even smoke from sunrise to sunset.

Here are five of the best Ramadan buffets at hotels in Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, for people breaking their fast after sunset – or those of you simply wishing to enjoy a fine buffet dinner.

1. Barakat & Syukur buffet, The St Regis Kuala Lumpur

It will not just be about the food fare: it will be a true celebration.

The Astor Room will be transformed into a glorious venue complete with tastefully adorned flowers and decorations.

The buffet spread will feature the best of both worlds but with an added twist.

You will have signature dishes, such as chicken and beef rendang, a selection of lemang and ketupat palas, and jenahak fish head curry.

Also on offer will be Middle Eastern dishes such as basmati Moghul mandy rice and leg of lamb bone. And you will also have live cooking stations featuring slow-roasted grass-fed Australian lamb, marinated with Malay spice and served with sweet sambal.

It will be one of the best Ramadan buffet dinners this year.

Highlights: The interactive gourmet sandwich board with a variety of local and international fillings such as beef rendang and chicken kerutuk; the classic French desserts inspired by traditional Malaysian flavours. Think teh tarik crème brûlée, pandan and kaya eclair, and choux chendol Paris cream.

Price: 220 ringgit (US$55) per person

Availability: Until June 13

Time: 6.30pm to 10.30pm, daily

Telephone: 03 2727 6696

Any classic Malay dish that you can think of, you will probably be able to find it at Level 3 of The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

The hotel’s signature dish, however, is the kambing percik at the kambing golek counter.

From rojak betik terengganu to ikan (fish) bakar Portuguese to rendang udang galah to laksa johor, you will be spoilt for choice.
