Ramadhan Buffet 2012 at JW Marriott KL

July 9, 2012 /

Muslims all around the world will abstain from food and drink, through fasting, from dawn to sunset. At sunset, families will gather for the fast-breaking meal known Iftar. It is a trend now that Iftar has grown into banquet festivals—a time where we can invite our family members, friends and colleagues to break fast together in one place. And it is becoming popular that grandmother’s recipes are incorporated into the menu as well in the buffet. I have been invited for a Ramadhan Buffet preview at JW Marriott KL and I must say was impressed with the many traditional dishes on the list.

With a kampong ambience, JW Marriott KL will be serving over 130 different dishes from various states of Malaysia. Among typical Malay dishes include Daging Salai Masak Lemak dengan Bachang, Tongkeng Ayam Goreng Bercili, Kupang Masak Rampai, Sambal Udang dengan Petai, Tempe Goreng Bercili, Daging Cincang Asam Pedas, Rendang Daging and Ikan Keli Goreng Berlada. These scrumptious traditonal dishes are prepared by Chef Jamal and his team.

The extensive spread of authentic Malay cuisine includes the ever popular Malay ulam or salad selection such as petai, kacang botol, ulam raja, and Jantung Pisang, complemented by local versions of dressings such as sambal belacan, cencaluk, budu and tempoyak.

Local appetizers to whet our appetite are acar buah, acar jelateh and keropok ikan. Some of the local favourites featured at the happening hotel’s Ramadhan bazaar stalls are nasi dagang, satay, ikan bakar, roasted lamb, chicken tandoori, roti canai, chicken rice, gado-gado, rojak buah, ais kacang, a fresh fruit station, a local delicacies station and many more.
