The festive spirit descended in full splendour as Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur unveiled “The Imperial Christmas Offerings”, a lavish celebration of flavours, craftsmanship, and heartfelt hospitality. This exclusive Media Preview offered an indulgent first taste of the hotel’s Christmas 2025 creations — a showcase that beautifully balances timeless traditions with modern culinary artistry.
From the moment guests stepped in, the evening was designed to enchant: warm lights, joyful décor, and a gastronomic spread that promised — and delivered — a journey of festive flavours.
A Symphony of Savoury Delights
Roasted Turkey
No Christmas feast is complete without the classic turkey, and Sheraton’s rendition shines. Moist and tender with a beautifully burnished skin, the turkey carries a gentle herbiness that pairs effortlessly with its accompanying gravy and cranberry sauce. It’s comfortingly traditional yet elevated in execution.
Beef Wellington
A standout of the spread — the Beef Wellington impresses with its buttery, flaky pastry cocooning a perfectly cooked centre of rosy beef. The mushroom duxelles adds earthy depth, making every bite luxurious and balanced.
Smoked Duck
Rich, smoky, and delicately sweet, the smoked duck slices offered an irresistible melt-in-mouth texture. Their slight fattiness paired wonderfully with the festive chutneys provided.
Italian Octopus Salad
A pleasant surprise — tender octopus tossed with citrusy, herbaceous notes. The freshness of this dish brightens the palate, preparing it for the next indulgence.
Assorted Cheese Selection
An impressive lineup featuring Gruyere, Emmental, Camembert, Brie de Meaux, Port Salut, Gouda, and Blue Cheese. From creamy to nutty to boldly pungent, cheese lovers will appreciate the care in curating this diverse range. Paired with crackers and dried fruits, it made for an elegant grazing corner.
Braised Beef Rib with Roasted Garlic & Vine Cherry Tomato
Fork-tender and deeply flavourful, the braised beef rib offers a hearty punch. The roasted garlic adds warmth, while the cherry tomatoes bring a welcome burst of acidity.
Slipper Lobster Masak Lemak Cili Api
A festive Malaysian touch — the slipper lobster swims in a creamy, fiery broth. The lemak richness and the slight heat from cili api complement the natural sweetness of the lobster beautifully.
Lamb Shoulder with Glazed Balsamic Reduction & Rosemary Sauce
This slow-cooked lamb shoulder boasts a fall-off-the-bone tenderness. The balsamic glaze adds a subtle sweetness that balances the herbaceous rosemary sauce.
Stuffed Squid Sicilian Style with Pomegranate Salsa
A delightful fusion — tender squid filled with savoury Sicilian-style stuffing, lifted by a bright, juicy pomegranate salsa that adds freshness and crunch.
Braised Seafood Marinara with Tomato & Basil
A comforting classic, brimming with prawns and shellfish in a tangy tomato-basil sauce. Perfect with warm bread.
Sautéed Button Mushrooms with Garlic Herb Butter
Simple yet aromatic — mushrooms sautéed to juicy perfection, infused with butter and herbs. A reliable favourite.
Roasted Beef Platter with Vegetable Pickle
The roasted beef slices are flavourful and succulent, elevated by tangy pickles that cut through the richness.
Chicken Liver Pâté with Cumberland Sauce
Creamy, smooth pâté paired with a sweet-tart Cumberland sauce — an indulgent pairing for those who enjoy bold flavours.
Salmon Gravlax
Silky, well-seasoned, and delicately cured, the gravlax is excellent with a squeeze of lemon or served atop crisp crackers.
Sweet Endings to Remember
The dessert corner dazzled with festive classics and creative treats:
Cherry Chocolate Trifle — rich layers of chocolate and cherry meld seamlessly for a decadent ending.
Macaron Tower — crisp shells with luscious fillings, a colourful centrepiece.
Gingerbread — fragrant with spices, nostalgic and comforting.
Christmas Marzipan Stollen — dense, fruity, and authentically festive.
Chocolate Pecan Pie — sweet, nutty, and irresistibly gooey.
Yule Log Cake — smooth, chocolatey, and beautifully presented.
Green Tea Cake — light, aromatic, and a refreshing counterbalance to the richer sweets.
Each dessert reflects the kitchen’s commitment to quality and festive charm.
