Hotel Royal Signature is bringing an exquisite Ramadhan dining experience to its Halal-certified Asian Pot Restaurant with the exclusive Dari Desa Ke Kota Ramadhan Buffet. This culinary journey beautifully merges the rich, rustic flavors of Malaysia’s traditional village cuisine with the refined elegance of contemporary urban dining.
A Feast of Authentic & Modern Delights
The highlight of this year’s buffet is none other than Executive Chef Zulfikar Ali Mahdi’s signature Lebanese Lamb Shank Kabsa. This dish is a true indulgence, featuring a slow-cooked lamb shank infused with aromatic spices, egg saffron, and fresh vegetable pickles, all served on a bed of fragrant Kabsa rice. Each tender bite melts in the mouth, delivering a perfect balance of smoky, earthy, and subtly sweet flavors, reminiscent of Middle Eastern culinary excellence.
Another must-try dish is the Sungai Petani Special Kari Kepala Ikan, a family recipe lovingly passed down from Chef Zulfikar’s mother. This dish is pure nostalgia in a bowl—tender fish head simmered in a rich, creamy coconut milk-based curry, infused with aromatic spices that create a harmonious blend of warmth and depth. Each spoonful is packed with comforting flavors, making it a true celebration of home-cooked goodness.
Seafood lovers will be delighted by Celup-celup Tepung Terengganu, a signature creation by one of the Terengganu-born members of the culinary team. Fresh seafood is lightly battered and fried to crispy perfection, offering a delightful crunch with every bite. Paired with a selection of dipping sauces, this dish is an irresistible combination of textures and flavors that highlight the bold essence of Malaysia’s east coast.
An Array of Festive Delicacies
Beyond these signature dishes, the buffet boasts more than 100 mouthwatering selections, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
