Do take note that this is an invited review - So, here are my usual disclaimers:
1) I have not been paid to write this, but neither have I paid a cent for my meal,
2) I will still be as objective as possible re. the food/ restaurant, and
3) If I go back to the restaurant incognito and find that the food/service is horribly different from this experience, I will amend my ratings here...
How quickly time flies. An ex-colleague just reminded me that we had been trying to to arrange a Buka Puasa get together to catch up since... well, last Ramadhan...
=_=
There are of course many options being paraded in the newspapers, billboards, etc, right now - Last week, I got to check out the offering at Chatz Brasserie in the Parkroyal Hotel, located conveniently in the heart of KL's Golden Triangle Shopping area.
:D
- Simple but comfortable - classic hotel setting:
- A must have at any reputable hotel nowadays, fresh Oysters and prawns:
(Their theme was "1 Malaysia", so they had a range of Malay, Chinese, Indian as well as Nyonya and Western dishes)
- Healthy Salads and Ulams to balance your meal:
- Tantalising curries:
(Other than the usual curries and rendangs, there was also a range of delicious Nyonya recipes, taught by the talented chef Debbie Teoh,... There was a very appetising blend of aromatic spices with a hint of assam tones in the curry, and I especially liked it paired with the yummy Nasi Ulam that they had that night)
- Petai dish, for those who love these pungeant beans:
(There were also many "stalls" serving up a pretty wide variety of local favourites (Satay, Nasi Ayam, Briyani, Assam Laksa, Ayam Pansuh, etc) as well as foreign treats (Spaghetti, Grilled Lamb, Grilled Beef, etc)
- Desserts, both local....
- ... and foreign:
(There was also an array of Haagen Daz ice creams for you to choose from...)
In terms of pricing, it is reasonable, as there really is quite a variety of food to choose from:
- RM 86++ per adult,
- RM 43++ per child (4 to 11 years old).
Well, there you have it. This is probably the last Buka Puasa buffet I'll be attending this year. I hope you have lots of fun buka-ing with your family and friends.... :)
(Thanks to Lilian for the kind invitation - was really nice meeting you!)

Think you need to do a Pasar Ramadhan review - which place is best to go mad with the best food. Tmn Tun?Subang? Batang Berjuntai?
ReplyDeleteu know i really wonder if there are any food bloggers out there who will pay using their own money to eat a buka puasa buffet haha..its either invited or a company function.
ReplyDeleteTo Chindi:
ReplyDeleteShy to admit but I've never been to a pasar Ramadhan actually - jom? :)
to Joe:
I'm sure there must be. I know I would, if I actually went for buffets anymore. Not fasting so no need for me to buka puasa at a buffet... And normally I prefer a la carte :)
Ya, time really flies - I can't believe Raya will be here in 3 weeks' time!
ReplyDeleteOK set! next week i cari you for the Pasar action.
ReplyDeleteThat Sago looks simply perfect.I really want to try it!
