THE ART OF LAMB AT DOUBLETREE BY HILTON KL

 

The art of preparing a whole lamb and showing the meat’s versatility inspired the culinary team at DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur to place “The Art of Lamb” in the spotlight from 2 October until 28 November.

Every Friday and Saturday night, immerse yourselves in a dining experience where halal Australian lamb is front and centre at the Makan Kitchen buffet.

From familiar favourites to lesser-known cuts, The Art of Lamb explores and displays how different cuts of Aussie lamb can be braised, roasted, grilled, curried and smoked. The philosophy is simple: understanding the ingredient, respecting every cut and allowing thoughtful techniques to bring out its best attribute.
 

Each cut exudes its own character, be it slow-cooked for richness and depth, prepared as a tender loin or served as a classic roast-ready leg. Even lesser-known cuts and offal are celebrated, reflecting an “All Cuts, Zero Waste” approach.

Aside from Malaysia’s multi-cultural take: Australian Lamb Neck Assam Pedas, Sup Kambing Berempah, Malay Curry Lamb Hind Shank, and Cantonese Braised Lamb Ribs, we also sampled contemporary offerings such as Lamb Terrine with Dried Fruits, and Lamb Striploin with Pomelo and Tamarind-Palm Sugar Dressing.

Ideas from different corners of the world brought out Moroccan Lamb Sausage, Roasted Australian Lamb Leg with Gremolata and Figs, Signature Lamb Shoulder Biryani, Lamb Trunk Rogan Josh, Smoked Lamb Ragout Penne, Lamb Merguez Cumberland, Rosemary Braised Lamb with Parmesan Potato Crust, and Lamb Fore Shank Pot with Beancurd and Radish.

 
Learn first-hand from Makan Kitchen chefs on different parts of the lamb through the interactive “Know Your Cuts” corner and discover different cooking methods applicable to each cut. Then put your newfound knowledge to the “Know Your Lamb” test for a chance to take home DoubleTree by Hilton’s cookie tin.

The Art of Lamb dinner buffet is available every Friday and Saturday from 6.30pm to 10pm, priced at RM168 nett per adult and RM84 nett per child. Guests can also enjoy a Buy 4, Free 1 promotion, while Hilton Honors discounts apply.
