Eighty mouth-watering dishes representing the best of our nation's 13 states beckons for buka puasa at Makan Kitchen, DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside this year.
Drawing inspiration from the nationwide Jelajah Selera
Bersama Hilton campaign, Executive Chef Mohd Faizal Abd Ghani and his team are
highlighting
a culinary voyage around Malaysia.
Muslim
guests can break their day-long fast with a variety of dates and cold drinks
before sampling assorted local salads such as Urap Pengaga Udang Batu Jemala (Pegaga
Leaves Tossed with Prawns and Spicy Grated Coconut) and Kerabu Paku (Spicy Fern
Shoots Salad) among others.
Then
whet the appetite with Assorted Spiced Seafood: Sambal Gesek Prawns, Tom Yum
Mussels, Sambal Hijau Bamboo Clams, Nyonya Asam Sauce Scallops and Sambal Merah
Manila Clams. These options are a tantalising departure from the usual poached
version served elsewhere. Balance it with some Ulam-ulaman, fresh raw local herbs with condiments.
The
eye-catching centrepiece of Kambing Panggang Berempah Sanggai (Marinated Roast Lamb with Roasted Spice Rub)
accompanied by Nasi Briyani Saudagar Arab (Spiced Biryani Rice) taste as good
as they look.
Enhance the rice with some delicious Gulai Daging Rusa
Kapar (Kapar Venison Curry) and Salmon Fish Head Curry. Biryani Rice with Quail
Egg in Bamboo offers an interesting variation with
the aromatic rice studded with sultanas and cashews, wrapped in turmeric leaf cooked
in bamboo containers.
From the East Coast, Chef Faizal proffers distinctive
dishes such as Ketupat Sotong Ganu (Stuffed Squid and Minced Seafood Served
with Coconut Gravy) and Satar
(Grilled Parcels of Spiced Fish Paste in Banana Leaves).
Traditional
Hari Raya delights: Lemang, Ketupat Palas and Serunding are also available,
evoking a sense of festive spirit into the dinner. Street food-style
specialities such as Ikan Bakar (grilled fish), Otak Otak (grilled parcels of
fish paste wrapped in coconut leaves), Satay and fritters add to the expansive
culinary line-up.
Sweet
endings are equally varied, ranging from fresh fruits and local kuih to mini
glasses of puddings and creamy dessert broth such as Pengat Pisang.
The
‘Around The World in 80 Dishes’ themed-buffet dinner (6:30pm to 10:30pm) begins
from 3 April to 3 May is priced at RM178 nett per adult and RM89 nett per child
(aged 6 – 12).
