Ramadan Buffet @ TEMPTationS, Renaissance KL Hotel

From authentic local selection of “kerabu” and “sambal” to the various types of specially prepared rice such as Nasi minyak, Nasi tomato and Nasi bukhari to an array of “gulai”, I had a hard time making a choice from the vast array of selections. Don’t miss the daily Roasted whole lamb with percik sauce too!

All time buka puasa favourites include Gado-gado, Rojak buah, Pasembur, an assortment of crackers, pickled fruits and the must-have Bubur lambuk that will be available every evening throughout the fasting month. Hot selection of local flavours to be discovered include Daging tulang rawan rendang pedas, Daging Palembang, Udang harimau masak lemak cili padi, Otak-otak kuah padang, Kampung style ikan bakar and accompanied by its hot and spicy sauces.

To further tease your palate, check out the ‘live kitchen‘ dishing out à la minute grilled seafood or juicy chicken and beef satays with its classic peanut sauce. Pick your favourite type of fresh fish from the ikan bakar section and have them grilled in front of you! Don’t forget to check out the Malaysian stall dishing out Rendang Minang, Gulai kawah or Rendang tok on a rotation basis. Meanwhile, there is also the Western, Chinese and Indian sections to dine on.

What I was looking forward for during the whole night was to try their amazingly huge selections of desserts. There are Nyonya & Malay kuih such as Seri muka, Kuih kasui, Kuih lapis, Pulut panggang, Pulut inti, Kuih lompang, Kuih keria, Kuih angku, Kuih bakar, Tepung gomak, Cucur badak and Wajik. There is also a selection of Malay cakes and snacks evocative of the festive spirit – Bahulu, Dodol, Kuih bangkit, Kuih ros, Murukku, Buah rotan, Rempeyek, Kuih kapit, Kek pisang, Kek lapis and Kek kurma. Not forgetting Western desserts and cakes too like Tiramisu, Walnut tart, Cheese cake and many more.
