SANTAPAN LAGENDA AT DOUBLETREE BY HILTON KUALA LUMPUR

 

A heartfelt celebration of Malaysia’s culinary heritage, open-fire cooking, and the joy of gathering around the table underscores Santapan Lagenda at Makan Kitchen, DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur throughout the fasting month.
 
Timeless kampung recipes meets theatrical cooking, bringing the heady aroma of simmering rendang, the sizzle of open-flame grills, and the vibrancy of regional favorites. The handiwork of Makan Kitchen master chefs aptly reflects the heritage and blessings of the breaking of fast season.

One of the most compelling offerings has to be the Sambal Udang Galah with Petai Ice Cream. Spicy sambal and mutedly pungent stinky bean ice cream? It’s the most unlikely pairing but surprisingly, it works like a charm.

Tasty rich chunks of Grilled Beef Bone Marrow prime the appetite for soulful servings of Lamb Neck Gulai Pati Santan, Sambal Goreng Jawa, Sotong Masak Lemak Padang Nenas, Red Snapper Pais Kelapa, Beef Short Ribs Rendang and Ayam Golek Berempah.
As usual, a whole Roast Lamb draws its fair share of fans alongside mainstays of irresistible Australian Lamb Neck Rendang, Otak-otak, Satay, Seafood Dum Biryani and Kabsa Rice with Saffron. 

International specialities are represented by Seafood Rolls with Sambal Mayo, Beef Hammer with Rojak Glaze, Kashmiri Braised Australian Lamb Taco Station, Seafood Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes and Hirami Oyster Chawan Mushi with Dashi Broth.

The cornucopia of dessert is jaw-droppingly wide and varied. Decadent treats to savour include Musang King Fritters, Kek Batik Peanut Butter, Tapai Ubi, Apam Gula Hangus with Coconut Frosting, Rose Syrup Jelly, Orange Marmalade Shortcake, Pandan Cream Caramel and Medjoul Date Pudding with Butterscotch.

In the spirit of giving, DoubleTree by Hilton KL will donate RM1 from every buffet meal purchased to Kechara Soup Kitchen as a gesture to help nourish the community.

Santapan Lagenda at Makan Kitchen is available from 18 February to 19 March, 6.30pm to 10pm. Prices as below:

RM209 nett per adult | RM105 nett per child

FESTIVE JOY AT FOUR SEASONS HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR

 
Immaculately organised and designed to please a discerning, well-travelled crowd, the festive buffet at Curate melds polished sparkle and restrained nostalgia.
 
The spread of splendid abundance integrates goodies-laden cast iron pots and casseroles, chefs bustling behind cooking stations, lavish food platters replenished constantly, and diners picking the choicest seafood, prime roasts and luscious dessert.
 
Taking pride of place is the stellar seafood counter proffering King Neptune’s oceanic treasures, poached to perfection and laid out on mounds of pristine crushed ice. 

We had a hard time deciding on the fresh catches to land: abalones, lobsters, king crab legs, scallops, mussels or prawns? Truly, we want them all whilst nigiri and rolled sushi as well as precise slices of sashimi beckon invitingly from the adjacent Japanese station.

Comforting centrepieces of roast beef and lamb leg, and turkey draw traditionalists. On the side, roasted vegetables, stuffing and giblet gravy await.
 
Exotic influences from different corners of the world appear in spice-laden servings of Moroccan lamb tagine, Greek moussaka and Indian butter chicken, competing with European specialities of seared duck with orange reduction, roasted chicken scarpariello with grilled herbed sausage, turkey salad with cranberries and chestnuts, and beluga lentil salad with smoked duck.

Cheese lovers will be stoked to know an international cheese selection accompanied by assorted fruits, nuts, seeds and dried fruits is part of the palate-pleasing festive parade.

Dessert captures the playful side of Curate with irresistible apple sticky toffee pudding, pain d’epices, walnut pound cake, panettone, chocolate madeleines, berry financiers and pecan pie leading the charge. Familiar and inventive treats such as stollen, white forest cherry white chocolate cake, hazelnut passionfruit slices and crimson Santa-hat tarts are bound to delight.

Generous, polished and reassuringly familiar, festive dining at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur has enough finesse to raise the bar on your Christmas and New Year celebration. That's perhaps the greatest luxury of all.
