This year, Sheraton Petaling Jaya presents a grand festive celebration that brings together the refinement of Japanese cuisine and the comforting familiarity of traditional holiday dining. For the first time in its history, Miyabi Japanese Restaurant introduces a Japanese Christmas and New Year buffet, while Feast Restaurant continues its cherished tradition of hosting a lavish festive spread. Together, the two experiences form one of the hotel’s most exciting dual celebrations yet—perfect for diners seeking both novelty and nostalgia.
Miyabi’s transformation into a festive Japanese dining haven is undoubtedly the highlight of the season. Instead of the usual buffet counters, the restaurant enhances the experience with a semi-buffet concept, where premium dishes are served à la minute and classics are replenished generously. Each diner is entitled to one premium selection, and the choices are nothing short of luxurious. The Japanese Black Wagyu Beef Platter delivers exceptional marbling, melting almost instantly on the tongue with a buttery richness that requires nothing more than a sprinkle of salt. The Toro Sashimi is another standout, each slice velvety, smooth, and decadently fatty—an indulgence for sashimi lovers. The Uni Platter, kept chilled on ice, offers a sweet, creamy freshness that perfectly embodies the ocean’s purity.
For those who crave warmth, the Zuwaigani Shabu Shabu is pure comfort in a bowl. The clear crab broth is naturally sweet, and the snow crab meat is tender, making it an ideal festive dish for sharing. Meanwhile, the Yaki Lobster impresses with its smoky, flame-kissed aroma. The lobster flesh is juicy and springy, enhanced by the subtle char that brings out its natural sweetness.
Beyond the premium selections, the unlimited buffet offerings showcase the best of Japanese culinary craftsmanship. The teppanyaki station is especially popular, with chefs cooking fresh ingredients on the spot. The oysters are plump with a gentle sear, the scallops buttery-soft, and the king prawns firm and sweet. The beef carries a satisfying char, while the salmon remains moist and gently flaky—each item cooked and served at its prime. The sashimi selection features six varieties, including yellowtail, tuna, and king prawn, all vibrant, sweet, and fresh. The king prawn sashimi stands out for its crisp bite and natural sweetness, while the octopus offers a pleasant chew without being overly firm.
Miyabi’s appetizers and chawanmushi selection also deserve praise for their creativity. The pan-seared foie gras chawanmushi delivers a rich, silky finish, while the ikura version bursts with briny sweetness. The unagi engawa variation offers a smoky sweetness against the custardy egg, and the pitan chawanmushi introduces a bold, savoury depth for adventurous diners. Donburi lovers will find comfort in the hearty bowls served throughout the evening. The Wagyu Beef Don is tender and flavourful, paired with fluffy rice, while the Flounder Fin and Foie Gras Don brings together creamy textures and luxurious flavours. The Unagi Don is sweet, soft, and satisfying, while the Wagyu Beef Hamburg Don lends a comforting, homemade touch. Even the fried rice stands out for its fragrance and well-balanced seasoning.
Of course, no festive Japanese meal is complete without dessert. Miyabi presents an elegant selection of sweets, but the homemade matcha ice cream is the must-try treat. Smooth, creamy, and pleasantly bittersweet, it’s a perfect way to conclude the meal with a refreshing note.
While Miyabi introduces innovation and elegance, Feast Restaurant continues to uphold its reputation as Sheraton PJ’s beloved festive destination. Its Christmas and New Year buffet returns with an abundance of favourites, beginning with freshly shucked seasonal oysters topped with black caviar—briny, luxurious, and richly satisfying. A whole house-cured salmon is displayed in all its silky glory, while the towering seafood medley showcases snow crab, mud crab, bay lobster, yabbies, tiger prawns, and scallops. The festive roasts are equally impressive, including the citrus apple cider turkey that offers a warm tangy sweetness, a 12-hour slow-roasted Australian beef prime rib that is tender and savoury, and a signature lamb roast infused with 101 traditional spices, releasing deep, aromatic flavours.
The pasta station adds a theatrical touch, with the truffle mushroom risotto and smoked duck alfredo tossed inside a wheel of aged cheese. The aroma alone draws diners in, and the result is creamy, earthy, and irresistibly comforting. For those who wish to bring the celebration home, Sheraton PJ also offers festive roasts for takeaway, including the Classic Slow-Roasted Turkey and Agrodolce Glazed Beef Short-Ribs, both ideal for intimate gatherings.
Rounding off the festive offerings are Sheraton PJ’s Christmas Premium and Mystery Gift Boxes, beautifully curated with seasonal treats like wine, cookies, fruit cake, and even surprise prizes such as staycations and dining experiences. These boxes add a thoughtful, luxurious touch to year-end gifting.
This festive season, Sheraton Petaling Jaya truly offers something remarkable for every palate. Miyabi captivates with its refined Japanese artistry, while Feast continues its tradition of heartwarming abundance. Whether you are seeking a sophisticated Japanese celebration or the classic cheer of a global Christmas feast, Sheraton PJ promises a memorable, flavour-filled holiday experience for all.
