Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur is welcoming Ramadan with a feast fit for the occasion—the Persona Rasa Ramadhan buffet, a celebration of Malaysia’s rich culinary heritage. Crafted by the talented Executive Chef Badrul Hisham, fondly known as Chef Bard, this buffet is designed to take guests on a flavorful journey through traditional Malaysian favorites.
Hosted at Makan2 Coffee House, this spread features a lineup of must-try dishes, each offering a taste of nostalgia and authenticity. Let’s delve into the standout selections that make this buffet a feast to remember.
A Feast of Malaysian Delights
One of the key highlights of the Persona Rasa Ramadhan buffet is Rendang Tok —a slow-cooked, aromatic beef dish deeply infused with a medley of spices. The meat is incredibly tender, having absorbed the robust flavors of lemongrass, turmeric, and coconut milk. Every bite is rich and satisfying, with just the right balance of spice and sweetness.
Another showstopper is the Kambing Tandoori, a dish that combines Indian and Malaysian influences seamlessly. The lamb is marinated in a fragrant blend of yogurt, garlic, and spices, then roasted to perfection. The result? Juicy, smoky, and slightly charred meat that pairs beautifully with mint chutney.
For those who enjoy rice dishes, the Nasi Kenduri is a must-try. This celebratory dish, often served at Malay weddings and gatherings, boasts fluffy, aromatic rice infused with coconut milk and pandan leaves. It’s best enjoyed with a side of flavorful curries and sambals available at the buffet.
Ending the meal on a sweet note, the Roti Jala Kuah Durian is a unique treat not to be missed. The delicate, lace-like crepes soak up the rich, creamy durian sauce, creating an indulgent experience for durian lovers. The fragrant durian flavor is beautifully complemented by the soft, slightly chewy texture of the roti jala, making this dessert a true Malaysian delicacy.
More to Savor
Beyond these signature dishes, the buffet also includes Sup Utara and Gearbox, a hearty Northern-style soup packed with slow-braised meat and marrow-rich bones, perfect for warming the soul. For those with a sweet tooth, a variety of traditional Kuih Melayu is also available, offering vibrant, bite-sized treats made from coconut milk, palm sugar, and pandan.
