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.
