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.

CITARASA NUSANTARA KE TIMUR TENGAH AT PAYA SERAI

When it comes to breaking fast, Paya Serai at Hilton Petaling Jaya is legendary for its expansive buka puasa buffet. For the coming Ramadan month, the Paya Serai culinary team looks set to repeat their crowd-pulling feat again with its inviting “Citarasa Nusantara ke Timur Tengah” spread.

Available from 19 February to 20 March, guests can look forward to relishing beloved Malaysian classics alongside carefully selected Middle Eastern specialities. 

It’s the kind of buka puasa spread which you take your time to savour then return for seconds (or thirds) whilst enjoying the moment with family, friends and business associates.

Right from the get-go, the meat selections are clear crowd-pleasers. Think Daging Salai with BBQ Sauce, tender Beef Ribs in Dendeng Sauce, and juicy slices of Smoked Beef; all exuding rich, comforting flavours to draw you back.

 
Punching above their weight are heartily satisfying dishes of Kambing Madu Guling, Daging Batang Pinang wrapped in Mushroom Rendang, and deeply flavoured Sup Tulang Kambing.

 
Evergreen Ramadan favourites take centrestage too. Ayam Percik, creamy Rendang Kerang, and aromatic Rendang Daging make sublime pairing with ketupat and lemang, instantly evoking that much anticipated, cosy Hari Raya vibes.

Paya Serai’s collaboration with the Turkish Embassy will infuse a taste of the Middle East Start to its extravagant line-up. Tease the tastebuds with refreshing Tabbouleh, Hummus and Fattoush served with soft Middle Eastern bread.

 
Mains include smoky Iskender Kebab, Chicken Shawarma, Bengendili Chicken Kebab, and spice-scented Mixed Grill with Rice. Save room for a cup of robust Turkish coffee, accompanied by Baklava or stretchy Dondurma (Turkish ice cream).

Back on home ground, comforting local gems including Mee Rebus Udang Galah, Itik Salai Masak Lemak, Ikan Asam Pedas, Kawah Lemak Cili Padi Podeh, and Nasi 10 Ulam remind diners of hearth and home.

 
Sweetening the deal is an inviting line-up of traditional Malay Kuih, Badak Berendam, Tapai Pulut and Ubi, and Kuih Lopes. 

More cosmopolitan treats such as Tiramisu, Chocolate and Red Velvet Cakes, and Mini Pavlova play luscious supporting roles. Avid durian fans won’t want to miss out on the hotel’s Daily Fresh Durian on Wheels, rolling out from 8.30pm onwards.

Priced at RM178 nett per adult and RM89 nett per child (6-12 years old) from 19 to 22 February and 19 to 20 March 2026, and RM228 nett per adult and RM114 nett per child from 23 February to 18 March 2026, Citarasa Nusantara ke Timur Tengah at Paya Serai is the kind of Ramadan buffet that promises a satisfying buka puasa affair with your loved ones.
