As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Dorsett Kuala Lumpur is proud to unveil the Simfoni Serantau buffet dinner, a celebration of flavours consisting of local and international culinary traditions.
With more than 100 dishes in the line-up, this year's buffet promises to delight every palate.
Upon entering Checkers Café, guests are welcomed by the main buffet line, showcasing hot dishes prepared with time-honoured recipes, alongside many other international dishes perfected through multiple trials to capture their true, authentic flavours.
Highlights from this section include Perut & Rebung Masak Assam Pedas, a Malaysian dish with bold flavours and unique combination of ingredients, Pecel Lele Rangup, a crispy fried catfish dish from Indonesia and Hati Buyah Goreng Kicap, a rich and aromatic recipe from Brunei.
Beyond the buffet line, guests can explore nine special corners offering irresistible treats. Signature dishes include the Malaysian-style Beef Roti, a local twist on a classic Chinese Muslim favourite and the Singapore-style Baby Chilli Crabs, perfectly crispy and served pop-size, providing a delightful crunch in every bite.
At the Fresh Seafood Bakar Stall, guests can handpick from an array of succulent tiger prawns, sweet flower crabs, and locally harvested fish, all expertly grilled to perfection, offering a tantalising seafood experience like no other.
Within the same space, guests will discover the Xinjiang Roast Lamb, this year’s star attraction.
Manned by a skilled chef who will carve the lamb throughout the evening, it is spiced with a distinctive blend of spices and slow-roasted to tender, flavourful perfection.
