The holiday season is a time for joy, togetherness, and indulgent feasting, and Doubletree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur is the perfect place to create heartwarming memories. With its exceptional Christmas buffet and festive activities, guests are invited to celebrate in style and savor a culinary experience that blends timeless classics with bold, modern flavors.
An Array of Flavors to Savor
The Christmas buffet at Makan Kitchen is an opulent spread that promises to delight every palate. Guests can begin their culinary journey with a selection of starters that set the tone for an extravagant feast. The Prawn Cocktail Salad, paired with marinated melon and a luxurious tobiko crème fraîche, bursts with fresh, zesty flavors, balancing sweetness and briny notes. For those who prefer a hearty start, the charcuterie section features an array of cured meats and artisanal cheeses that are perfect for pairing with the hotel’s house-baked breads.
The centerpiece of the buffet is undoubtedly the Slow-Roast Wagyu Beef Leg, perfectly tender and seasoned with a blend of herbs that highlight its rich, buttery flavor. Each slice melts in your mouth, complemented by a side of rosemary-infused jus. Equally impressive is the Slow-Baked Lamb Neck with Mirepoix, which boasts a deep, earthy flavor profile that lingers satisfyingly on the palate.
Seafood enthusiasts are in for a treat with the Charbroiled Giant Squid Stuffed with Chicken Kashmiri. This standout dish is an exploration of textures, with the tender squid encasing a delicately spiced filling that sings of aromatic Kashmiri cuisine. Not to be missed is the Salt-Baked Estuary Barramundi, which arrives flaky and subtly seasoned to allow the natural sweetness of the fish to shine.
Desserts to Warm the Heart
No festive meal would be complete without a sweet finale, and the Sheraton Imperial does not disappoint. The Spiced Apple and Pear Tart is a seasonal highlight, balancing the tartness of the fruits with the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg in every bite. Paired with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, it’s a comforting close to an otherwise lavish feast. The dessert spread also features a variety of Christmas classics, from rich chocolate yule logs to traditional stollen and spiced gingerbread.
