Breaking away from the usual hotel ballroom setting, MITEC’s Dari Dapur KL Metropolis Ramadan Buffet returns in 2026 with a clear intention: to recreate the warmth and generosity of a true Malaysian open house, just on a much larger scale. Held within the expansive halls of MITEC, the buffet feels less like a formal dining venue and more like a communal gathering where families, friends and colleagues can break fast comfortably and without rush.
Curated by Malay Sous Chef Romzi, the spread is ambitious in size but thoughtful in execution, blending familiar kampung flavours with refined banquet-level consistency. With over a hundred items on rotation, the buffet doesn’t overwhelm — instead, it encourages guests to move at their own pace, sampling classics alongside MITEC’s signature creations.
Signature Kambing Bakar Golek – The Showstopper
The highlight of the entire buffet is undoubtedly the Kambing Bakar Golek. Slow-roasted over an open flame, the lamb is evenly bronzed on the outside, with a spice rub that leans aromatic rather than overpowering. Once carved, the meat reveals a tender interior that pulls apart effortlessly, carrying subtle smokiness with every bite. Paired with its accompanying sauces, the dish strikes a balance between festive indulgence and comforting familiarity — the kind of centrepiece you’d expect at a celebratory Raya gathering.
Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah “Mok Cik Rina” – Comfort in Every Spoon
Among the Malay staples, the Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah stands out for its homestyle character. The rice is fragrant with coconut milk, light rather than greasy, while the ayam berempah is generously coated in spices that are toasted just enough to release their aroma without bitterness. Each bite carries warmth rather than heat, making it an easy favourite for guests who appreciate traditional flavours done properly.
King Satay Malaya & Fresh Grilled Seafood with Percik
The King Satay Malaya delivers exactly what it promises: skewers grilled to a gentle char, juicy on the inside, and served with a peanut sauce that is nutty, slightly sweet and well-balanced. It’s the kind of satay you return for seconds without realising how many sticks you’ve already had.
Equally inviting is the Fresh Grilled Seafood with Percik Sauce. The seafood is grilled simply, allowing the natural sweetness to come through, while the percik sauce adds a creamy, lightly spiced finish. It’s rich without being cloying — ideal after a long day of fasting.
D24 Durian Goreng – A Crowd Favourite with a Twist
MITEC’s Signature D24 Durian Goreng is one of those items that sparks curiosity and long queues. The contrast is what makes it work: a crisp, golden exterior encasing a soft, fragrant durian filling. The bitterness and sweetness of D24 are preserved, making this more than just a novelty dessert — it’s indulgent, yes, but surprisingly refined.
Cendol Gula Melaka – A Sweet Ending Done Right
To end the meal, the Cendol Gula Melaka offers a refreshing pause from heavier dishes. The shaved ice melts quickly into a creamy coconut base, while the gula melaka — blended from multiple sources — delivers layered sweetness with slight caramel notes. It’s cooling, nostalgic, and a fitting finale to a generous iftar spread.
A Thoughtfully Designed Iftar Experience
Beyond the food, what sets Dari Dapur KL Metropolis apart is the overall experience. The venue’s spacious layout prevents crowding, while practical considerations — ample parking, smooth traffic flow, and a comfortable surau — make the evening feel stress-free. It’s a buffet designed for real people and real gatherings, not just photo moments.
MITEC’s Ramadan Buffet 2026 doesn’t try to be trendy or overly modern. Instead, it focuses on scale, comfort, and flavour integrity, delivering dishes that feel celebratory yet grounded in tradition. Whether you’re attending with family, hosting clients, or organising a group gathering, Dari Dapur KL Metropolis offers a Ramadan dining experience that feels both grand and genuinely Malaysian.
