In a constantly changing world, the Citarasa Nipah
buka puasa buffet proves some things never change at EQ Kuala Lumpur. Available from 3 April to 1 May 2022, Chef De Cuisine
Ali bin Tuwin and the Nipah team will cook up a storm, serving up a cornucopia of
timeless kampung delights interspersed with popular Malaysian mainstays
throughout Ramadan.
The
welcoming enclave that’s Nipah sets the stage for a veritable array of East
meets West appetisers: from healthy local salads such as Kerabu Limau Bali and Urap
Pucuk Manis to the ubiquitous crowd-pulling seafood bar of fresh oysters,
poached prawns and clams.
Expect
local thirst-quenchers: Sirap Selasih, Cincau, Soya Bean and Air Jagung among
others to be available at the self-service drinks station.
Walking
out to the patio area, we found it decked with several stalls to showcase hawker-style
specialities cooked a la minute. A whole Kambing Golek, spit-roasted and slice
to order, took centrestage. We sampled some of the roast lamb with mint sauce
and gravy, and were instantly smitten by the meat’s juicy tenderness.
Another
notable pick was Kambing Nasi Beriani Gam Johor – succulent cuts of lamb and
rice cooked in a medley of spices. It was satisfying with the spices fully imbued into the rice. As for the Signature EQ Satay – touted by
Travel + Leisure as Top Ten Malaysian Dishes You Need To Try - the meaty skewers proved
on-point and worth making a beeline for.
Chef
Ali and his team also conjured up a varied plethora of hot dishes infused with
different combinations of spices and herbs. The buffet will leave diners
spoiled for choice, with tempting specialities such as Ayam Goreng Mamu, Daging
Rusuk Gulai Kawah, Udang Gulai Nyonya, Ikan Siakap Tiga Rasa, and Gulai Lemak
Cili Padi Daging Salai among a bewildering selection of curries and well-spiced dishes.
Having worked our way selectively through the robustly flavoured
offerings, we were left replete. After cleansing our palate with sliced fresh
fruits, it was time to succumb to the myriad of Pastry Chef Azizul Bin Bistaman’s sweet creations.
Local fruits were the chef's core inspiration, resulting in captivating tastebud-teasers of Durian Choux, Passionfruit and Mango Pavlova, Chempedak Financier, Ciku Cheesecake, and Pineapple Tart Tatin. Those with a penchant for teh tarik will find the Teh Tarik Roulade simply 'tea-rrific'.
The
rich Serawa Durian should appeal to die-hard fans of the thorny fruit while the
Middle Eastern-inspired Umm Ali added an exotic touch.
