Few
people can resist breaking fast with classic Malay kampung dishes during the
month of Ramadan and the culinary team at Cosmo Hotel Kuala Lumpur is banking
on the tried-and-tested to please the crowd. Served at
Mint Café from 5 May to 3 June, the Juadah Ramadan buffet dinner will please
sticklers of tradition, from appetisers to dessert.
Opening
volleys of assorted kerabu (local salad) such as cockles, prawn with young
mango, smoky beef strips and local fern shoots with grated coconut alongside
herbaceous greens and pickles will tickle the tastebuds.
Mildly
spiced Sup Ekor Lembu (oxtail soup) and Bubur Lambuk (savoury spiced rice
congee with beef) are genteel choices to ease patrons after their day-long fast.
The impending festive Hari Raya mood is evident with the inclusion of Lemang
and Ketupat Palas (glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves) with Serunding
(beef floss). Some Rojak Buah (fruit & vege salad) won’t be remiss either
as a healthy option.
Notable
main dishes to feast on include punchy hot Talapia Sambal Hijau (fried fish
topped with pounded green chilli), creamy and redolent with turmeric and heady
spices Daging Panggang Masak Cili Padi (beef slices in bird’s eye chilli and
coconut milk gravy), and Siput Sedut Masak Lemak (snails in rich creamy
turmeric-flavoured gravy).
Festive specialities run the gamut from Ayam Masak Merah (red-cooked chicken with tomato,
chilli and spices), Ikan Bakar (grilled fish), Satay and Roast Lamb to Lala Masak
Paprik (Thai-style clams with chilli) and Kari Kepala Ikan Merah (fish head
curry).
Dessert
to sweeten the senses range from colourful Malay Kuih and deep-fried banana
fritters to various ice-creams and cool shaved ice treat of ais kacang.
Early bird
vouchers for the Juadah Ramadan buffet is only RM65 nett per adult for
purchases made between 29 April and 4 May. From 5 May to 3 June, the regular
price of RM88 per adult will be applicable.
