SELERA KAMPUNG AT MARRIOTT PETALING JAYA

With two decades of industry experience under his toque, Executive Chef Dennie Yudie Darmawan spearheads the Marriott Petaling Jaya team in the extravaganza of dishes for this year’s buka puasa.

Available from 23 February to 18 March at The Atrium, the Selera Kampung line-up spotlights Signature Traditional Roast Lamb as one of the mainstays. Redolent with aromatic spices, the juicy lamb meat is best accompanied by fluffy biryani rice.

Inspired by nostalgic kampung favourites, the array of breaking of fast specialities includes appetite-whetting Ekor Asam Pedas (tangy, subtly spicy oxtail stew), sublime Kambing Masak Hitam (mutton cooked in dark soy sauce and ground spices), Gulai Telur Ikan (fried fish eggs in curry), Signature Sup Tulang Berempah (spiced beef bone broth), Wok Fried Dried Flower Crabs and Ayam Percik (spice-marinated grilled chicken).

Perennial crowd-pullers such as Gulai Ayam Minang, Rendang Itik Rendang, Daging Tetel, Masak Lemak Siput Sedut, Gulai Nangka Ikan Pusu, Pucuk Ubi Lemak Kuning Tempoyak, Roti Jala Kari Ayam, Terung Sambal Tempeh, Sambal Hati Buyah and Ikan Masin Cili Api beckon invitingly.

Regional specialities are aptly represented by Kepak Ayam Goreng Berlado, Burung Puyuh Berempah, Ega Penyet, Ayam Gebrek Sambal Hijau and Sambal Belut Sukarasa.

 
The cornucopia is further augmented by an assortment of Poached Seafood on Ice, Sushi and Sashimi, Karai Aburi Takoyaki, Wagyu Karai, Beef Cubes with Black Pepper and Grilled Cajun Spice Chicken.

Dessert to conclude ranges from Malay Kuih, Fruit Cake, Chocolate Fountain with Fruit and Confection Skewers, Fresh Fruits, Tapai, Bahulu and Apam Balik.

The Selera Kampung buffet is priced at RM198 nett per adult and RM139 nett for senior citizens. Advance reservations advisable.

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).
