Ramadhan Buffet at JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur

Ramadhan is just in corner and I was at the happening hotel, JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur for a preview of probably the best Ramadhan buffet in the city.

Ushering in the holy month of Ramadhan, the city’s happening hotel has prepared a wide variety of traditional Malaysian delicacies for guests to experience.

We have skipped a lot of Ramadhan buffet this year and it is great to see how restaurants and hotels tapping into digital media via blogs and social network. It is one of the days that you can’t afford to miss the Ramadhan buffet in JW Marriot.

We had great review in past years and it was good so we have to come again and again every year.

Geared towards “preserving heritage”, the Ramadhan Buffet will feature 108 of the best traditional dishes from various states of the country customarily served during Ramadhan.The Poolside area on the 6th Floor and the Starhill Conference Centre on the 4th floor of JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur will be transformed into a Ramadhan bazaar, to replicate a “kampong” ambience.

Aside from the spectacular set up and displays to recall the nostalgia of breaking fast in a “kampong”, another unique feature is the scrumpt ious menu. With a spread of over 130 different dishes from all the states of Malaysia, the feast will almost certainly delight every member of the family. For those who yearn for the tradit ional “kampong” experience, the Gerai Makanan Tradisi dan Selera Kampung highlights typical Malay dishes that are less commonly served nowadays. Some of these dishes are Tongkeng Ayam (Bishop) Goreng Bercili, Daging Salai Masak Lemak dengan Bachang and Kupang Masak Rampai.

The extensive spread of authentic Malay cuisine includes the ever popular Malay ulam or salad select ion such as petai, kacang botol, ulam raja, and Jantung Pisang, complemented by local versions of dressings such as sambal belacan, cincaluk, budu and tempoyak. Local appet izers to whet the appet ite are acar buah, acar jelateh, and keropok ikan. Some of the local favourites featured at the happening hotel’s Ramadhan bazaar stalls are nasi dagang, satay, ikan bakar, ayam tandoori, roti canai, chicken rice, ais kacang, a fresh fruit stat ion and more.

Priced at RM60.00++ per person at the Conference Centre and RM70.00++ per person at the poolside area, from 7.00pm to 10.30pm, guests are invited to experience yet another beautiful Malaysian custom which is the “berbuka puasa” tradit ion with family and friends. From great food to excellent décor, the culinary team intends to bring to mind the Malaysian heritage by encouraging the “silatul rahim”, the building of sincere humanities amongst family and friends at “berbuka puasa.”

Frankly speaking, the value of this buffet is a steal. Looking at the quality and the varieties of the food available, this is one of the best places for a Ramadhan feast. Please book in advance to avoid disappointment!
