If there is one place that encapsulates the joy of the holiday season, it’s Hilton Kuala Lumpur. Their ‘Hilton Holidays’ campaign, which runs from 15 November 2024 to 1 January 2025, invites guests to immerse themselves in festive celebrations filled with exquisite food, delightful activities, and exciting prizes. We recently attended Hilton Kuala Lumpur’s Christmas Food Review, and it was nothing short of spectacular.
Festive Feasts at Vasco’s
Stepping into Vasco’s, Hilton Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant dining space, we was immediately greeted by an impressive buffet spread that promised a journey through international and Asian flavors. The weekday and weekend buffet line-ups offer something for every palate, whether you’re looking for hearty roasts, fresh seafood, or classic holiday sweets.
Highlights from the Festive Buffet: The roasted turkey was a showstopper, boasting a perfectly golden skin with tender, juicy meat. Served with cranberry sauce and herb-infused stuffing, it was a true taste of Christmas. The prime rib roast, seasoned to perfection, melted in the mouth and paired beautifully with a rich, velvety gravy.
Seafood lovers will be delighted by the array of oceanic treasures. The seafood station featured plump, briny oysters, tiger prawns, and snow crabs. Each bite of the oysters, chilled to just the right temperature, was a burst of ocean freshness that complemented the tangy mignonette sauce.
For those craving Asian-inspired dishes, the live cooking stations served up hot, fragrant plates of char kway teow and delicate steamed dumplings filled with savory surprises. The chefs’ deft hands made each dish a personalized masterpiece.
Decadent Desserts to Savor
No holiday feast is complete without a sweet ending, and Vasco’s dessert station did not disappoint. The yule log cake, rich with chocolate ganache, was both visually stunning and irresistibly moist. The Christmas stollen, fragrant with spices and dried fruits, was perfect for those who appreciate a traditional holiday treat. I found myself returning for seconds of the gingerbread pudding, a warm and comforting dish topped with a dollop of spiced vanilla sauce.
Festive Ambiance and Family Fun
Adding to the holiday cheer, Vasco’s offers diners surprise visits from Santa and Santarina, who come bearing treats and plenty of photo opportunities. The sound of live carolers filled the air, lending an extra touch of magic to the evening. A visit to Santa’s Grotto is a must, especially for families looking to capture picture-perfect holiday moments.
