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.

COFFEE RAVE – BREW, BEAT, BERSAMA PUTRAJAYA MARRIOTT HOTEL

Culture, creativity and community take centrestage at the launch of ‘Coffee Rave – Brew, Beat, Bersama’ event hosted by Putrajaya Marriott Hotel.

 
Held at the Lobby Lounge, the lively showcase of flavours, music, and artistry highlighted the collaboration between the Hotel and local artisan coffee brand Hétam. It’s also part of Marriott Bonvoy's ongoing efforts to deliver exclusive experiences for members and guests, creating opportunities for them to discover new flavours, local talents and unique cultural experiences.
 
Ms. Nikie Mok, General Manager of Putrajaya Marriott Hotel said: "Coffee Rave is more than an event; it's a celebration of togetherness, flavours, and artistry. We are proud to create experiences connecting people through meaningful moments; be it through food, culture, or community."

 
Hétam, an innovative homegrown coffee brand founded by passionate coffee artisan Wira, is dedicated to redefining Malaysia's coffee culture. At the Coffee Rave event, guests were treated to Wira’s specially crafted beverages embodying local heritage and inspirations.

Emas was the first coffee concoction we sampled. The name Emas pays tribute to the coffee’s golden hue courtesy of Harum Manis mango – the royal fruit of the north. We love how the fruity sweetness of fresh mango (purée and cubes) tangoed with the warm, robust richness of espresso. A delightfully bright, fizzy, creamy and fruity drink.

 
Inspired by the equatorial spirit of Malaysia, the bold and complex Khatulistiwa bore tropical citrus fruitiness amidst the invigorating acidity of coffee. Passionfruit pulp, a dried orange slice and a rosemary sprig lent the mocktail refreshing and aromatic finish.

 
Echoing our country’s lush rainforests, the earthy and robust Belantara exuded nuances of bright, green fruits layered with full-bodied roasted coffee; its creaminess touched with sea salt to round off the taste profile.

 
Rich and delightfully sweet like kuih seri muka, the Puteri coffee mocktail pays tribute to cherished tradition and treasured heritage. Its pandan green and coconut white hues coupled with the delicate pandan scent and creamy coconut taste juxtaposed against a canvas of espresso is akin to a drinkable form of the much-loved local dessert.

To complement these inventive beverages, Chef Zulkifli Asyul and his culinary team curated a special menu for the afternoon tea event. We feasted on delicious Mee Rebus Lamb Feet, dainty hand-rolled Nasi Lemak Temaki, and Macaroni Cheese in-between sips of those winsome coffee drinks.

Delectable morsels of Ayam Percik Vol Au Vent and Sardine Canapés added to the day’s merriment. Aside from classic Scones with Jam and Whipped Cream, we savoured Durian Cheese Tarts, Macaroons and Kuih Ubi Ketuk.

 
Soulful renditions by Agal Musik livened up the Coffee Rave session while Jessie Art Studio captivated us with a live art showcase. Henna artistry also imbued the proceedings with a cultural touch.

 
The live art piece by Jessie Art Studio was then presented to Ms. Nikie Mok, General Manager of Putrajaya Marriott Hotel as the wrap-up for the Coffee Rave event.
