Kampung fare and Thai specialities by Chef Mohammad
Yusoff and Chef Nopporn Nutto reign supreme at Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s
buka puasa buffet for this coming Ramadan.
Aptly named Gabungan Duo Rasa A La Kampung & Thai,
the nightly spread will be based on two rotational menus highlighting the two
chefs’ culinary handiwork.
Fire up your tastebuds with tantalising Thai starters
such as Yum Gai Yang (spicy chicken salad with chilli and lime), Yum Woon Sen
(Thai glass noodles salad with seafood), Nam Prik Khai Khem (assorted vegetables and salted egg with Thai chilli dip), Yam Ma Muang (mango salad with
peanuts), Neua Yam Nam Tok (grilled beef salad) and Larb Gai (spicy minced
chicken salad) amongst others.
Be prepared for a slew of spicy, sour, peppery, sweet
and savoury flavours to stimulate your senses when you sample mains such as Gaeng
Massamam Neua (beef curry with potatoes), Pad Krapow Kung (sautéed shrimp with
basil) and Pla Muek Tod Kra Tiam (deep-fried squid with garlic and pepper).
Ramadan is also the time when cravings for delicious kampung delicacies arise. Chef Mohammad Yusoff has got your back with freshly
grilled Ikan Bakar, creamy rich curries of Gulai Tunjang Minangkabau and
Kambing Kurma Kasturi, Masak Lemak Udang Harimau Rebung, Kambing Masak Hitam
Manis, Labu Lemak Putih and Ikan Tenggiri Berlado.
Requisite favourites Bubur Lambuk and Sup Gearbox to
break your day-long fast with, alongside Hari Raya treats such as Kambing
Panggang, Ayam Masak Merah, Satay and Daging Rendang Tok are also served.
Dessert time is no less lavish. Indulge your sweet
tooth with tempting Thai Banana Coconut Milk, Bua Loy (rice dumplings in
coconut milk) or Tab Tim Krob (diced waterchestnuts 'red rubies' with
jackfruit strips in coconut milk).
Other delightful treats range from Baklava, Cendol and
Rose Agar-agar, Apam Balik, Pandan Layer Cake, Sweet Corn Pudding and Dodol to Fresh
Fruits, Sarawak Layer Cake, Durian Cream Cake and Ais Kacang.
