MEANINGFUL FEAST, CELEBRATING MOMENTS TOGETHER AT HILTON KL

Ramadan is marked not just by abundance, but by intention at Hilton Kuala Lumpur. Jamuan Penuh Makna, Raikan Detik Bersama is a thoughtfully curated dining experience weaving together memories, flavours and a sense of togetherness.

Rooted in Malaysia’s rich culinary heritage and enlivened with contemporary flair, the experience also reflects the Hotel’s efforts at sustainability. Keropok Citarasa Laut exemplifies that initiative as a crisp, golden cracker created from repurposed seafood shells. Carefully cleaned, roasted and ground into a fragrant powder, the shells are blended with tapioca flour, coriander, oyster sauce and white pepper, then steamed, sliced and lightly fried to achieve a delicate crunch. An inventive speciality turning what would otherwise be waste into something deeply satisfying.

 
Vasco’s will unveil a flavour-forward breaking of fast buffet throughout the Ramadan month. Familiar favourites are refreshed with modern touches: Chicken Rendang with Wild Fern Leaves, Golden Snapper Otak-Otak paired with Passion Fruit Salad, Urap Daging Pekasam, Short Ribs with Coconut Floss and Strawberry Sambal, and Lamb Meatballs in Rendang Hijau. Each dish a balance of comfort and surprise.

The carving stations are surefire culinary magnets with a whole Roast Venison Rempah Panggang, Halal-certified Australian Lamb scented with Moroccan Chermoula, and Smoked Paprika Beef Shank. Ayam Percik glazed with Tualang honey, Lamb Kabsa with smoked dum biryani and Lamb Chapli Kebab round out the generous meaty spread.

Seafood lovers can expect responsibly sourced an Oceanic Bounty on Ice, Seared Seabass and Flower Crabs Masak Lemak Nenas among others.

 
Live cooking stations proffer numerous drawcards. Among them will include Golden Snapper Fish Head Curry, Beef Rendang Tok, Grilled Scallops slicked with ginger, garlic and chilli, Australian Wagyu Bolognese, Angus Murtabak, Lamb Gear Box Soup and, for a touch of indulgence, Royale Caesar Salad with Reef Lobster Meat.

 
Linger over dessert afterwards with tempting servings of Jackfruit Financiers, Assorted Baklava, Om Ali and Kunafa. A windfall of durian centric creations in the form of Durian Éclairs, Crêpes and sumptuous Serawa Pulut Durian Musang King will keep thorny fruit enthusiasts happy.

 
Available from 19 February to 19 March 2026, the Vasco’s Ramadan buffet (6.30pm to 10.30pm) is priced at RM238 nett per adult and RM119 nett per child (aged 6–12).

 
An early bird offer is available for bookings made between 22 January and 18 February (applicable for up to 10 guests and not valid for dine-in from 2–17 March).

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.

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.
