Don’t jump straight for the turkey! Add some greens before you start your Christmas feast with some of these healthy & delicious traditional salads. My personal favorite was the ham cobb salad.
Whole Baked Salmon
If you’re looking for something lighter, the salmon was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the salads. It was simply inviting just looking at it, you’d catch yourself going for two or three rounds.
Chicken Galantine
Another classic holiday dish! The stuffing was quite tasteful and plated invitingly. Its a definite must have on your Christmas feast.
Honey Glazed Spiced Brine Roast Turkey stuffed with Granny Smith Apple & Chestnut
Turkey was beautifully brine to assures the moisture was there and pretty flavorful with a dash of turkey gravy. I’ve got the admit stuffing was quite moist it almost feels like it came from inside of the turkey.
Prime Rib served with Brussels Sprouts & Roast Tomatoes
It was spectacular! I was actually surprised how unbelievably juicy, tender and full of flavors with a kick of garlic and herbs to it with some Brussels sprouts and roasted tomatoes to complement the dish. I’d highly recommend this!
Rustic Baked Whole Sea Bass with Lemon
Pleasingly baked, with a hint of zesty flavors from the lemon. I love how the fish was lightly salted which you can get a better taste of the bold fresh flavors in the sea bass. Another dish I’d recommend!

Asian Chicken Noodle Salad
Refreshing, light and healthy dish, I love how the noodles are not thoroughly cooked giving it some nice light crunch to it, Chicken was well-marinated and really garlicky!
Shrimp with Pomelo & Watercress Salad
Shrimp matches perfectly with bittersweet citrus fruit, making it such a lively appetiser to begin with. It reminded me a lot like the Yam Som-O I’ve had during my trip to Thailand.
The second chef to be featured for the month will be Chef Muhammad Hafiz Bin Izham, a 29-years old from Pahang who specializes in Malay cuisine. He will be serving up his specialty dishes as per below!
Fried Crispy Sea Bass with Green Curry Gravy
A simple rich, delicious and creamy green curry with sea bass was bursting with bright, bold flavors. You’ll catch yourself scooping for more green curry topped on a hearty bowl of rice.
Spiced Eel Soup
Warm and filling perfect for rainy weathers, this soup was truly heart yet so flavorful. The eel has a really nice texture to it and wasn’t too chewy.

One of the few dishes that got everyone’s head turning when served. Just the look on the rich and sweet coconut gravy makes one mouth-watered.
The Chinese cuisine on the buffet will be prepared by the hands of Chef Emmanuel Chang Lin Con, a 32-years old who hails from Malacca.
Kam Heong Chicken with Dried Chili
Fragrantly distinctive flavors from the sauce paired perfectly with the lightly crisp chicken. The aroma itself yearning for a bite.

This rather famous ambrosial Malay dish was one of a kind. The beef was braised till soft and tender complementing the flavorsome dark sweet sauce perfectly. What’s missing right here is a bowl of rice!
Quattro Formaggi Pizza
Inspired from his days when Chef Zaki was based at Southern Italy, this classic four cheese pizza has to be one of the most wonderful combinations of bread and cheese imaginable.
No buffet is ever complete without a dessert spread. On the dessert bar, you’ll find delectable creations of Chef Zahrin Mohamad bin Madzlan.
Bubur Som Som
This local dessert was inspired by Chef Zahrin’s mother. A little drizzle of Gula Melaka to complement the coconut rice flour porridge with some freshly diced jackfruit. Perfect to have after a heavy feast!

The chicken tasted really homely you wouldn’t believe how delicious and satisfying this dish was.
Roasted Duck was absolutely flavorful and moist. What I love about the duck was the fact that the skin was barely chewy and simply delicious.
Their satays has always been my favorite in their buffets. They’ve marinated the both chicken and beef thoroughly it gets really addicting after a few skewers. Grab the chicken satays first because it runs out real quick!🤭🤭
As you know Bubur Lambuk is a quintessential porridge meal especially during the month of Ramadan that makes it such a hearty meal. I was hooked with it and the condiments make it even better. Salted egg is life.

Tauhu SumbatGado-GadoUlam-Ulaman
Can’t get enough of all these local favorite dishes. You’ve definitely got to try their Tauhu Sumbat and Gado-Gado! Drizzle the tofu with a guilty amount of peanut sauce and you’ll be hooked on this. Same goes with the Gado-Gado, nothing better than having a bowl of fresh vegetables with copious amounts of peanut sauce.
Murtabak
Got to love the live station for the Murtabak & Roti Canai. Crispy roti with delicious curry infused meat stuffing. Scrumptious!
Ending the meal with some delectable dessert dishes with some Malaysian favorites is a must.
Their Ais Batu Campur Station is the best part of their dessert counter!

Steamed Pearl Loong Fu Pan Fish with Minced Garlic Chili Sauce
I’ve got to admit nothing will ever tastes better than having this with a bowl of white rice topped with some of the minced garlic chili sauce. Fish was so moist and firm, garlic chili sauce was really aromatic with some nice heat to it.
Braised 10 Headed Abalone with Sha Jing in Cucumber Ring
As dazzling and elegant as it looks, the abalone and oysters were braised till packed with flavours. The broccoli was really crunchy and delicious!
Steamed Waxed Duck Meat Glutinous Rice
It is an essential to have ‘lap mei’ rice during Chinese New Year which often serves at the end of the meal before desserts are served. The meat was still flavorful and the glutinous rice was soft and a little chewy texture to it.
Ginger Flavoured ‘Tang Yuen’
Never has to be Winter Solstice to enjoy some heartwarming ‘tang yuen’, these glutinous balls were so juicy and soft that it will literally explode in your mouth. The sugar soup was the best, it has strong ginger flavors with just the right amount of sweetness.
The meal didn’t just stopped here, we were spoiled with the varietal of sweets served at the buffet counter!
