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.

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).
