Food: Ramadan Buffet with Imperial Chakri Palace Royal Thai Restaurant @ KLCC

For the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, what's better than to break fast with some authentic Thai cuisine @ Imperial Chakri Palace Royal Thai Restaurant? I'm always craving for some spicy Thai food, so when I had the chance to review this restaurant, I was ecstatic. I had high expectations for the food here and lay your eyes on those glorious, yummy buffet line!

A total of about 50 Thai specialty dishes were available and a rule for me is to always, ALWAYS, begin with an appetizer at any buffet. Don't gobble down the main course at buffet lines although that may appear to be the most tempting, always start small and slow with some appetizers first.

APPETIZERS

Glass Noodle with Seafood Salad

Wing Beans Salad

Mee Krob

Thai Crispy Fried Noodles

Aneka Jeruk

Mango Sticky Rice

This is one that's not to be missed. I've always heard people talking about how yummy this one is and this is honestly the first time I'm trying it for myself. Surprisingly, the rice was just the right texture, a little chewy but not too sticky at the same time. 

MAINS

Nasi Beriani

Chicken Kapitan

Prawn with Butter Sauce

Massaman Beef

Steamed Fish with Lime and Chillies

This was one of my favourite dish of the night. Usually, when I dine out at Thai restaurants on regular days, I always made it a point to order this. 

It has always been a must-have at dinner table and this one didn't disappoint too much either. It was fragrant and not too spicy as well. But, I would prefer if they used other fresh water fish instead of dory fish.

Stir Fried Chicken with Sweet & Sour Sauce

Mixed Vegetables

 Satay and Ikan Bakar Stations

A hearty bowl of Tomyam soup which is a must have at every Thai buffet!

Beverages - Soyabean and Sugarcane

Food: Buka Puasa Treat @ Kembali Kitchen, Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral Kuala Lumpur

Ramadan is a holy month where the Muslim community celebrates a month of fasting and this year, the chefs at Kembali Kitchen, Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral Kuala Lumpur are up to the challenge to tantalize your tastebuds with their festive spread. 

I was at the media preview last week and it was a wonderful gourmet journey savouring a total of 60-80 dishes available. Some of the highlights of the buffet will be included below, so do scroll on to have an idea of how it was like.

The chefs posing with the must-try dishes!

The spread consists of local and international flavours to cater to hotel guests from different backgrounds. There are appetizers, ulam and salads, main courses, carving stalls, noodles counter and desserts as well. The dishes are all on rotation basis so you get new flavours every day and this is specially done for guests who tend to stay for a certain duration at the hotel.

The dining area is spacious and very comfortable. I liked the layout of the place and the arrangement of buffet line isn't too far from the seating area as well.

Start off with some salads as your appetizers!

 Traditional Malay 'ulam' and 'keropok' (crackers) before digging into the main course.

You may mix and match your 'rojak buah' here and make it yourself in the wooden bowl.

Some of the 'kerabu' I tried, they have at least 16 types which will also be on a rotational basis. I highly encourage those who have never tasted it to try it. Pretty good.

Noodles Corner

For those who prefer to go Western, you may have your daily dose of bread, butter and soup here. The butter served here is premium and I particularly enjoyed the vegetable soup which was served on that day.

Beef Satay

Udang Goreng Kunyit

Ayam Panggang Percik

Ketam Masak Tomato

Ikan Asam Pedas

Serunding and Lemang

Daging Rendang

Grilled Items - fish and squids

The sauces - Air Asam and Sambal Manga Muda which complimented the grilled items so well. It enhanced the flavour of the grilled squid and fish. 

The chef carving the roast lamb very diligently!

The dessert spread is endless!

The 'ais kacang' station with loads of condiments you can add in. Besides that, there is chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream and I chose to add in almonds and pistachio nuts, no doubt it was super good.

Creme Caramel

Tiramisu Cake
