‘BILA RASA BERBICARA' BUFFET AT CONCORDE HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR

Flame-kissed specialities straight off a new Josper Charcoal Grill steal the spotlight at Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s buka puasa buffet this year.

Melting Pot Café’s Bila Rasa Berbicara, a nightly feast heralding the balik kampung spirit during Ramadan, will be available from 19 February to 20 March.

Anticipated to attract diners like moths to flame, you can sample aromatic, smoky and scrumptious Johor-style Pepes Ikan, juicy Australian Mini Ribeye Steaks, Ayam Percik, Chicken Wings with Korean Sauce, and New Zealand Lamb Shoulder hot from the charcoal-fuelled Josper Grill.

Malay Chef Mohamad Yusoff and Malay Sous Chef Arif Iberahim step up to prove their prowess with beloved Malay, trans-generation classics such as Gulai Tunjang Masak Lemak Cili Api, Pucuk Paku Ikan Bilis, Sambal Tumis  Udang Petai, Asam Pedas Tetel and Siput Sedut Masak Lemak.

 
There’s even a Nasi Kandar stall dishing up perennial crowd-pleasers: Kari Kepala Ikan, Ayam Goreng Mamak, Kambing Varuval, Ketam Goreng Berempah and Daging Masak Merah.

Soupy succour can be found in hearty and flavourful Sup Gearbox, Sup Tulang Rawan and Sup Kambing. Follow that up with rare, nostalgic kampung-style delicacies such as Telur Itik Masak Lemak Cili Padi, Gulai Ketam Nipah and Rendang Daging.

Fresh catches of calamari and barramundi fish are teppan-cooked to perfection whilst a Whole Roast Lamb with fragrant biryani rice and Braised Short Ribs compete for attention.

 
Adding a touch of bazaar flair to the merry buka puasa experience are huge woks of Mee & Kuey Teow Kawah, Murtabak Ayam & Daging, Roti John, Satay and Serunding with Lemang and Ketupat Palas.

Tantalising Thai and Chinese delights ranging from Thai Basil Beef, Gaeng Som Pla (spicy steamed fish) and Padprik Seafood to Kam Heong Lala and Kung Pao Lamb are some trail-blazers worth savouring.

Evergreen and viral sweet treats: Tau Foo Fah with brown and white sugar syrup, Ais Kacang, Pulut Serawa Durian, Durian Mousse Cake, Agar-agar Santan Cendol, Kuih Bakar, Classic Coffee Tiramisu, Dodol, Kek Batik and Matcha Tiramisu are some of the luscious dessert choices to wrap up the evening.

MID-AUTUMN HARMONY FROM CONCORDE HOTEL KL

 

Two exclusive lacquer gift sets, The Elegant Four and Four Seasons Bloom from Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur adds lustre to the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.

Handcrafted in multiple layers of vibrant high-gloss lacquer finish, Concorde’s Mid-Autumn Harmony gift set features a set of four boxes adorned with delicate floral motifs and refined detailing reflecting the essence of Chinese art and culture.   

                                   
Better still, the boxes are designed to be repurposed post-celebration; renewing their usefulness as elegant jewellery, accessories or keepsake boxes, teabag or tid-bit holders, or even as wall-mounted art pieces.
 
Guests can choose from two themed designs comprising:
The Elegant Four featuring plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum; symbolically paying tribute to noble virtues of wisdom, grace, integrity and tranquillity respectively.
 
Four Seasons Bloom highlights the seasonal beauty of spring orchid, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum blossom.

 

Fill those elegant boxes with Concorde’s Halal-certified mooncakes ranging from Baked Lotus Paste with Single Yolk and Red Bean to inventive Snowskin variants such as Musang King Durian and Longan Wolfberry – the ideal celebratory Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for family, friends and business partners.

Based on our sampling, the Assorted Fruit & Nut Mooncake beguiles with invigorating hints of kaffir lime leaves while one cannot go wrong with the smooth Baked Japanese Red Bean Paste variant.

Also winsome are the Black Sesame Lotus Paste and classic Lotus Seed Paste, be it with or without single/double yolk(s).

We daresay the Snowskin Musang King Durian version is the next best thing to eat the actual King of Fruits thanks to the rich and luscious filling. Coming in a close second is the Snowskin with Yam Paste and Single Yolk.
