IFTAR AT CONCORDE HOTEL SHAH ALAM

Traditional Malay cuisine rules the roost for Iftar at Melting Pot Café, Concorde Hotel Shah Alam this year. After a day-long fast, nothing is more than satisfying than a heart-warming bowl of Bubur Lambuk. The hotel culinary team proffers 3 variants: Bubur Lambuk Ayam Dara Lada Hitam, Bubur Lambuk Daging Batang Pinang and Bubur Lambuk Makanan Laut daily for buka puasa.

Then proceed with appetisers such as Kerabu Sotong Suhun Utara, Stir Fried Green Mussels with Thai Basil, and Kambing Panggang Berempah Bawang Putih to tease the palate.

For main courses, have your fill of Nasi Putih Kukus Pandan Wangi, Nasi Jagung Bergajus, Nasi Briyani Kismis Emas, Nasi Bukhara or Nasi Hujan Panas – flavourful rice dishes to serve as the ideal canvas for robust servings of Kari Kepala Ikan Jenahak Tomato Bendi, Mussels with Dried Chillies, Ketam Masak Cili ‘Chef Mong Style’ and Ikan Patin Gulai Tempoyak.

SELERA SERANTAU ADDS SPICE TO NEW CINNAMON

Embark on a irresistible culinary tour of the Asian region with Selera Serantau for buka puasa at One World Hotel’s spanking new Cinnamon Coffee House.

The jaw-dropping, cavernous 600-seat restaurant welcomes diners with a floor-to-ceiling curved LED screen upon entry. Strolling down the long walkway will reveal different dining areas and live interactive kitchens; every facet stirs up a sense of wonder and excitement even before one is seated down.

External pockets of lush greenery are visible from certain parts of the dining area whilst an infusion of modern and subtle Oriental interior touches: dark marble counters, floral displays, warm spot and recessed lighting and a feature wall adorned with traditional roof tile designs add beguiling charm to the elegant and streamlined space. Food is artfully displayed and served from island counters, live action kitchens and glass showcases.

For the month of Ramadan, the Cinnamon team has gone to town with an extravagant spread of 100 local and regional delicacies based on 4 rotational menus. Whether it’s Malay, Indian, Chinese, Japanese or Continental, no picky palate is left unfulfilled.

When you break fast at Cinnamon this year, we suggest starting at the premium Seafood section: king crab legs, freshly shucked oysters, crayfish, mussels and tiger prawns. The fresh, sweet crab legs are especially noteworthy and a prized catch for buka puasa.

Heartwarming familiar favourites: Sup Tulang Rawa (beef shin bone broth with local herbs and spices), Roast Lamb and Beef, Satay, Daging Gulai Utara (Northern Malaysia beef curry), Chicken Rendang Minang, Assorted Kerabu, and festive bites of Lemang, Ketupat and Serunding beckon. 

Crowd-pleasing Chicken Rice, Lamb and Prawn Masala, and Chicken 65, Tandoori from the Chinese and Indian sections complete the Malaysian offerings.

Those with a penchant for Japanese fare will be overjoyed to find a wide selection of colourful and appetising Sashimi, Nigiri Sushi, Maki Sushi, Tempura, and Fried Tebasaki (chicken wings) to savour.

International specialities to sample include Seafood Chowder, different types of Pizza, cook-to-order Pasta, Cold Cuts and Terrines, Seafood Chowder, Cheese Board, Baked Fish with Herb Bearnaise Sauce and Lamb Cutlets with Rosemary amongst others.

It is virtually impossible to eschew the vast plethora of desserts: Malay Kuih, Baklava, Aiskrim Potong, Peanut Butter Velvet Cake, Earl Grey Mousse Cake, Pralines, French Entremets, shot glasses of Jelly with Longans, and freshly made cups of frothy Teh Tarik.

Cinnamon’s Selera Serantau is priced at RM208 nett per person once Ramadan starts. For early birds pre-booking, the buka puasa buffet is available at RM168 nett per person and RM84 per child (6-12 years old) only for reservations made before 23 March.
