DELIGHT IN AUTHENTIC MALAY CUISINE WITH KOMUNE LIVING’S RAMADAN CLASSIC D’KERINCHI BUFFET EXPERIENCE

 

Returning for the second time after a successful inaugural year, the Ramadan buffet at Komune Living Bangsar South comes back with added flair. After delighting guests with a well-received buffet last year, the hotel is expanding its diverse spread with even more tempting dishes—all while maintaining its commitment to keeping prices pocket-friendly.

This year’s theme and menu is created by none other than the hotel’s outlet chef, Chef Muhammad Syah Osmat and is centered around the rich tapestry of authentic Malay cuisines. The spotlight shines on four exceptional dishes. 

Starting off with the Ketam Goreng Masam Manis which are fresh crabs, cooked to perfection then coated with a flavourful sweet and sour sauce. This is followed by the Ikan Patin Tempoyak, a true Malay delicacy made from fresh fish and fermented durian sauce. 

The next star is the flavourful Sup Tulang which is a comforting and nourishing dish, cooked with lots of aromatic spices and simmered for an extended period. The final must-try dish from this year’s buffet is the Grilled Lamb Shoulder that is marinated with a special homemade sauce then cooked ala-minute at the stall.

These four selections hold a special place in Chef Syah's heart as they are cherished recipes from his upbringing, dishes that echo the warmth of his family kitchen. 

Rooted in culinary traditions passed down through generations, these recipes not only reflect the essence of his cultural heritage but also embody the artistry and love instilled in him by his family's cooking legacy.

The alfresco area should not be missed as it is where an enticing array of action stalls awaits. This year's exciting additions are the Char Kway Teow and Kebab Stalls, complementing the returning favourites of Chicken Wing, Satay, Roti John and Murtabak from the previous year.

Tony Ho, General Manager of Komune Living, expressed excitement about the second annual Ramadan Buffet, stating, 'We are proud to present a feast that not only celebrates the rich tapestry of Malay cuisines but also emphasises our commitment to providing an accessible dining experience for our community. This year's buffet is a perfect blend of authenticity, variety, and affordability.”

Normal prices for the buffet are set at RM88+ for adults, RM68+ for children and senior citizens. To reward early enthusiasts, an exclusive offer of RM78+ will be extended to adults during the early bird sale period, commencing from now to 12th March 2024.

Ramadan Classic D’Kerinchi will be available from 13 March till 8 April 2024, between 6.30pm to 10.00pm at Komune Café, Level G.

 

The restaurant's kitchen holds a Halal certification from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), ensuring peace of mind for all patrons. For further enquiries or reservations,

Table Setting Etiquette For Dinner Parties or Grand Celebrations

So, you're throwing a dinner party or celebrating a special occasion, and you want your table to look amazing! But where do you even begin? 

Don't worry, because this guide will walk you through the basics of table setting etiquette, from the essentials to some extra tips for making your table sparkle.

The Basics: A Layered Look

Think of your table setting like building a house – you need a strong foundation before adding the finishing touches. Here's what goes where, from the bottom up:

Tablecloth or Placemats: This is the base layer, like a carpet for your table. Choose a tablecloth that complements your theme and is the right size for your table. If you're going for a more casual look, placemats work great too.

Dinner plate: This is the main plate where your main course will be served. Place it in the center of where each guest will be sitting.

Salad plate: This smaller plate goes on top of the dinner plate and is usually used for salads or appetizers.

Bread plate: This is a small plate, usually placed above and to the left of the dinner plate, for bread or rolls.

Cutlery Corner: Forks, Knives, and Spoons, Oh My!

Now it's time for the cutlery – those fancy words for your forks, knives, and spoons. Remember, the utensils are used from the outside in, with the ones you'll use first being placed furthest from the plate. Here's a breakdown:

Knife: This goes to the right of the dinner plate, with the blade facing inwards.

Spoon: This goes to the right of the knife.

Fork: This goes to the left of the dinner plate, with the tines facing upwards.

Salad Fork: This is a smaller fork, usually placed above the dinner plate, on top of the salad plate.

Bonus Tip: If you're serving dessert, you can place the dessert spoon and fork above the dinner plate, horizontally, with the handles pointing towards the right.

Glass Act: Sparkling Up Your Beverages

Glasses are placed slightly above and to the right of the dinner plate. Here's a general guide:

Water glass: This is the largest glass and goes closest to the plate.

Wine glass: If you're serving wine, place the glass to the right of the water glass. Red wine glasses are usually larger than white wine glasses.

Note: You don't need to set a glass for every beverage you might offer. Only set the glasses you'll be using for the specific drinks you're serving.

The Finishing Touches: Adding Flair

Now comes the fun part – adding your own personal touch! Here are some ideas:

Napkins: These can be placed either on the left side of the plate or folded and placed in the center of the plate. You can even get creative with different napkin folding techniques.

Centerpiece: This is a decorative element placed in the center of the table. It can be anything from flowers or candles to a small decorative bowl. Just make sure it's not too tall or bulky, as it shouldn't obstruct conversation between guests.

Candles: Candles can add a warm and inviting ambiance, but make sure they're placed safely and away from anything flammable.

Place cards: These are small cards with guests' names written on them, placed in front of their respective seats. This is a nice touch for larger gatherings or formal occasions.

Extra Tips for Grand Celebrations

For special occasions, you can take your table setting up a notch with these additional tips:

Upgrade your tableware: If you have special occasion plates, glasses, or silverware, now's the time to use them!

Coordinating colours: Choose a colour scheme for your table setting and stick to it. This will create a cohesive and elegant look.

Add some sparkle: Use decorative elements like glitter, sequins, or metallic accents to add a touch of glamour.

Grand opening flowers: Flowers can add a beautiful and fragrant touch to your table. Choose flowers that are in season and complement your colour scheme.

Remember, the most important thing about table setting etiquette is to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for your guests. Don't stress too much about perfection – just relax, have fun, and enjoy your celebration!
