MARRIOTT BONVOY X ALIF SATAR & THE LOCOS | SHOWCASING MARRIOTT SERVICE CULTURE THROUGH “KUMANDANG”

 

The campaign started as a spirited songwriting competition for the associates of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of hotels and resorts in Malaysia, inspired by Marriott's service culture and its seven hospitality principles of Warmth and Welcome, Attentiveness, Efficiency, Empathy, Communication, Flexibility and Consistency. Amidst an impressive array of over 35 entries, Fairfield by Marriott Bintulu Paragon emerged as the winner and was featured in the “Kumandang” song and music video with Alif Satar & The Locos.

The launch ceremony, supported by Global Payments, was hosted by Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President for Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International and graced by Manoharan Periasamy, Director-General for Tourism Malaysia, along with Alif Satar and The Locos - Efry Arwis, Faliq Auri, and Tam Cobain. Among the other notable attendees were Robin Rangel, Country Manager of Global Payments; George Varughese, Multi-Property Vice President of Putrajaya & Greater KL, Marriott International; and Sabrina Abdullah, Country Director of Human Resources, Marriott International.

“We have been doing business here in Malaysia since 1996, a time when Malaysian hospitality was at its peak and renowned world over. We were known for going above and beyond to serve our guests. 

And everything we did was from the heart, with a great sense of pride and enthusiasm…and always, always with a smile,” said Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International.

“We needed to be reminded of the qualities that made us who we are in the first place and recommit to the values that define us. In simpler words, we want to be the best and to look after our guests as they truly deserve. 

Malaysia welcomed almost 6 million foreign tourist arrivals into Q1 this year, a growth of 32.5% compared to last year. In 2025, 32 million tourists are forecasted to arrive, spurred by Malaysia’s chairmanship of ASEAN that will be held that year. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to rekindle the spirit of Malaysian hospitality and this collaboration exemplifies our hotels and resorts’ ongoing commitment to exceeding guest expectations, fostering deep connections, and championing hospitality excellence," 

Experience the harmony of 'Kumandang' by viewing the music video on YouTube titled “Kumandang X Alif Satar & The Locos.”

This is also a first for Malaysia as Marriott International embarks on a nationwide roadshow to bring employment opportunities to potential talents.

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,
