For seafood lovers seeking a weekend indulgence, The Living Room at The Westin Kuala Lumpur has unveiled a culinary voyage that promises to satisfy every ocean craving. The Seafarer’s Spread Dinner Buffet is a celebration of the sea’s bounty, complemented by grills, carvings, and Asian favourites—all presented in a sleek dining space under the glow of the restaurant’s iconic glass sunburst sculpture.
Ocean Galore on Ice: Freshness in Every Bite
The first stop of this buffet adventure is the impressive seafood on ice station, where glistening Poached Tiger Prawns, Half-Shell Scallops, Flower Crab, and Black and Green Mussels are beautifully arranged like jewels of the ocean. Each bite bursts with sweetness—the prawns are plump and meaty, while the scallops are tender and briny, a true testament to freshness. The Butter Fish sashimi is a standout, melting like butter on the tongue, while the Octopus sashimi offers a satisfying chew, balancing delicacy with texture. Paired with wasabi and soy, this counter alone feels like a fine-dining experience.
Weekend Grill: A Seafood Feast with a Local Twist
The grill station takes seafood to another level with creative Malaysian influences. The Grilled Oysters with Kam Heong Sauce pack a fragrant punch, marrying smoky char with the signature curry-leaf-laden sauce. Meanwhile, the Garlic Butter Razor Clams are rich and indulgent, with a garlicky depth that lingers pleasantly. For spice lovers, the Asam Pedas Black Mussels deliver a tangy kick that awakens the palate. Beyond seafood, the Grilled Ikan Kembung and Ikan Selar bring a nostalgic local touch, while Tender Beef and Lamb Chops add a hearty balance for meat lovers, perfectly complemented by smoky barbecue or fiery peri-peri sauce.
Pan-Toasted Seafood: Comfort Meets Indulgence
If sizzling seafood makes your heart sing, this section is a must-visit. The Pan-Toasted River Prawns bathed in salted egg sauce are rich, creamy, and delightfully addictive, while the Mussels and Clams in Butter Sauce bring warmth and comfort with each bite. The Tempura Prawns and Vegetables offer a lighter contrast, with a crisp batter that’s neither greasy nor heavy, proving the kitchen’s skill in balancing textures.
The Signature Carving: Showstopping Highlights
The carving station is a theatre of flavours, starting with the Chermoula Leg of Lamb, where every slice reveals juicy, tender meat infused with earthy North African spices. Pair it with rosemary or mushroom sauce for a rich, aromatic bite. Equally memorable is the Roasted Marinated Barramundi with Spicy Coconut Sauce—the fish’s flaky flesh is elevated by the sauce’s creamy heat, making it a comforting dish that feels both refined and homely.
Main Courses: Global Meets Local
Beyond seafood, the buffet surprises diners with a thoughtfully curated selection of mains. The Oven-Baked Salmon with Arrabbiata Sauce strikes a perfect balance of tangy tomato spice and delicate fish, while the Roasted Chicken with Chickpea Cassoulet offers a rustic, Mediterranean comfort. For local flavours, the Asam Pedas Daging Tetel packs a punch with its fiery sour broth and tender beef slices, and the Ayam Sambal Cili Api delivers that beloved kampung-style heat that Malaysians adore.
Live Counters: Noodles, Crab, and Comfort Food
The noodle station deserves a special mention, allowing diners to customise bowls of Hokkien Prawn Mee or Curry Laksa with rich, flavourful broths. Seafood lovers can also enjoy Stir-Fried Mud Crab or the delicate flavours of Steamed Grouper, showcasing the restaurant’s mastery in Asian seafood dishes. Those craving a taste of home will appreciate the Malaysian Chicken Rice, a simple yet comforting addition to this grand buffet.
Sweet Treats: An Elegant Finale
No buffet is complete without dessert, and The Living Room truly excels here. The Raspberry Pistachio Cake steals the spotlight with its nutty crunch and fruity tang, while the Mango Cheesecake is rich yet refreshing. Traditional touches like Bubur Pulut Hitam and Sagat Sejati (Ice Kacang) evoke nostalgia, balancing the decadence of Western treats like Peanut Chocolate Tarts and Blueberry Panna Cotta. The Chocolate Fountain, with its marshmallows and fruit skewers, is a playful touch for both kids and adults, while the Banana Bread Pudding provides a warm, comforting end to the feast.
Priced at RM188nett per adult and RM94nett per child (7-12 years old), this buffet delivers incredible value for the quality and variety offered. With fresh seafood, bold flavours, and an impressive dessert spread, it’s a weekend treat perfect for family gatherings or special celebrations. Children under six dine for free, making it even more family-friendly.
Set against the elegant backdrop of The Living Room’s iconic décor, the Seafarer’s Spread isn’t just a buffet—it’s a culinary journey through the ocean’s best offerings, with plenty of surprises for every palate.
