JOYEUX ELEGANTE FESTIVE FEASTS AT LE MERIDIEN PUTRAJAYA

Embrace the magic of Le Méridien Putrajaya’s Joyeux Élégante highlights this festive season. An impressive celebration of flavours, textures, and holiday indulgence by the Hotel’s culinary team aims to entice diners to savour every moment.

The extravagant spread is curated for every food lover; from ardent seafood enthusiasts and meat lovers to local fare fans and dessert die-hards.

Seafood starters steal the spotlight from the get-go. Heed the siren’s song of show-stopping selection proffering fresh oysters, snow crab legs, prawns, crayfish, scallops and mussels heaped on glistening ice and begging to be enjoyed.

We unashamedly tout going for slipper lobsters, snow crab legs, and fresh oysters. Their clean, natural and pristine ocean-fresh flavours will reel you back repeatedly.

Over at the salad and appetiser section, sample rosettes of salmon gravlax accompanied by fresh micro greens and condiments. Enjoy the mildly briny salmon’s supple succulence before diving for richer offerings. In addition, a wide array of sashimi, Japanese maki rolls and nigiri sushi beckon invitingly in various guises and rainbow of colours.

 
No year-end celebration is complete without platters of prime roasts and carvery. Choice picks to wolf down include baked Wellington lamb encased in airy-light, golden puff pastry, tender and perfectly seasoned roast Angus prime rib, classic roast local turkey with spices and delicious baked almond pistachio crusted salmon.

Soul-satisfying baked oysters and scallops topped with splendidly creamy-rich crust prove their appetite-whetting worthiness whilst fork-tender and heartwarming beef cheek goulash promises untold hearty comfort in every bite. Our favourite stand-out is that delectably sweet-savoury duck breast with apple compote.

Rustic temptations of tomato and mushroom bruschetta, prawns and chicken terrine, slices of smoked duck and chicken as well as beef pastrami stand cheek-by-jowl alongside an international cheese board and a myriad of fresh greens, chick peas, legumes and salad condiments.

Diners can practically traverse the world on a plate with the assortment of tempura, nourishing clam and corn chowder, oven-fresh pizza, roast golden duck and Chinese-style kam heong prawns, lamb varuval and chicken shawarma among others laid out at different nooks and sections.

For the ultimate sweet finale, succumb to colourful and decadent treats of chocolate cherry yule log cake, spiced banana cake, gingerbread men cookies, fruity jellies, macarons, chocolate mousse, pralines, mince pies, ice cream and skewers of fresh fruits to be dipped into melted chocolate.
