MERIAH KEMBALI BUKA PUASA BUFFET AT CINNAMON COFFEE HOUSE
One of the most
anticipated buka puasa buffet spreads in Selangor returns full of vibrancy at
Cinnamon Coffee House, One World Hotel Petaling Jaya this year. In line with
new normal SOPs, disposable gloves are provided and reminders are posted urging
guests to practise social distancing.
For starters, seafood
lovers will find King Neptune’s treasure trove of fresh Oysters and poached Crabs, Mussels and Prawns on ice to satisfy them. Hankering for Japanese fare for buka
puasa? Let the resident chefs bring you to the Land of the Rising Sun with assorted Sushi, Tempura and appetisers.
Those yearning for a taste of their kampung and old-school favourites such as Gulai Kawah, Sup Gearbox, Daging Opor Daun Salam, Nasi Rampai Sari, Kambing Hiris Gulai Daun Limau, Kerabu Telur Goreng or Kerabu Tempeh, these nostalgic dishes are given pride of place at the buffet line-up. Redolent with local herbs, ground spices, and the richness of coconut milk, you’d find ample satisfaction from the plethora of offerings served.
Also jostling for attention and your tummy space are Malaysia’s
multi-cultural specialities that should leave you spoiled for choice: Whole
Roast Lamb, Beef Teriyaki, Tandoori Lamb Leg, Goan Seafood Biryani, Lamb Garlic
& Tomato, Fish Kebab Cumin, Japanese Tofu with Vegetable & Crabmeat
Sauce, Satay, Grilled Fish and Popiah.
Bringing the curtains down is the wide range of dessert, from local Kuih and hawker-style Apam Balik to airy-light Chiffon Cakes and fresh Fruits. Hot and Cold Beverages to wash everything down in addition to Dates are also served.
Available now until 12 May, the Meriah Kembali extravaganza available from 6.30pm to 10.30pm nightly, is priced at RM158 nett per adult and RM79 nett per child (6 – 12 years old).
Reservations are highly encouraged.

SAJIAN MERENTASI ZAMAN AT CURATE FOR RAMADAN
It will be a culinary trip down memory lane with Chef Dato’
Fazley Yaakob at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur (FSHKL) come Ramadan, where
the month-long Sajian Merentasi Zaman (Food Across Generations) familial feast
will take place at Curate from April 13 to May 12, 2021.
FSHKL General Manager Alex Porteous (pix above, right) says “With our thoughtfully curated dining experiences and caring service, families can once again share meaningful moments and build new memories together. This year, it is time to reconnect with loved ones and cherish them.”
In line with new norm SOPs, the assisted buffet spread will
highlight beloved recipes from Chef Dato’ Fazley’s childhood, cherished dishes handed
down from generations, and delicacies evoking feelings of nostalgia in
parents and grandparents.
According to Chef Dato’ Fazley “cooking is an act of love and healing. My grandmother was the heart of our home and her cooking brought us together. I want to create that same feeling for other families with Sajian Merentasi Zaman.”
Rare local fruits and herbs such as cermai (Malay
gooseberry) and pegaga (Asiatic pennywort) also find their way into Chef Dato’
Fazley’s culinary repertoire, appearing in his speciality of Ikan Sepat Masin Masak
Lemak Cili Api Buah Cermai & Pucuk Pegaga (fermented freshwater fish in
turmeric cream with cermai & pegaga) to pique diners’ interest.
A refreshing and healthy selection of local salads to whet the appetite also beckons invitingly. Tempting choices include Urap Jantung Pisang Udang Geragau, Kerabu Pucuk Paku Daging Salai, Kerabu Kulit Tembikai & Kacang Tanah Panggang, Kerabu Telur Ikan, Kerabu Udang Tomato Hijau, and Rojak Buah among others.
For bursts of heat and palate-pleasers rustled up by the Curate
team, stop by for chicken, beef or crabs doused in fiery hot, creamy-rich coconut
milk gravy from the Lemak Cili Api Station or try Asam Pedas Pari Bakar Telur
Masin. A fearsome Tenggiri with Gremolata takes pride of place at the grill station.
Over at the Middle Eastern section, a whole Roast Lamb awaits atop aromatic spice-scented rice, accompanied by Beetroot Labneh, Warak Enab and Babaganoush.
Equal attention has been devoted to the beverage and dessert selection. Thirst-quenchers ranging from syrup to teh tarik and local coffee, complement the chef’s notable sweets. From the wide tableau available, our preferred finds are: Lempeng Kelapa (coconut pancakes with palm syrup), Kuih Gertas (chewy fried glutinous rice flour cakes crusted with sugar), Sira Labu (caramelised pumpkin wedges), Kelamai Buluh (little cones of fudgy glutinous rice, brown sugar and coconut milk wrapped in banana leaf), Puteri Mandi (colourful glutinous rice discs in coconut milk) and Kuih Ubi (steamed tapioca, sweet potato with condiments).
Sajian Merentasi Zaman at Curate will be available at the
following prices:
April 13 to 18 and May 7 to 12
RM189 per adult; RM94.50 per child (age
6-12)
April 19 to May 6
RM228 per adult; RM109 per child (age
6-12)
