KONTIKI Restaurant FEDERAL HOTEL Bukit Bintang Official Opening and International BBQ Buffet Review

Many of us, probably remembered KONTIKI Pool Side Restaurant in FEDERAL HOTEL which is, strategically located at 35, Jalan Bukit Bintang 55100 Kuala Lumpur in the middle of bustling Bukit Bintang. 

Recently, KONTIKI Pool Side RESTAURANT has a modern contemporary design offering an extensive and specially selected buffet spread with open kitchen concept where you can literally watch the team of chefs preparing your lip-smacking meals right before your eyes.

It has the charms of New Zealand by putting up 2 giant Tiki at the entrance to greet guests to the restaurant with more indoor décor to enhance this theme.

The stylish setting offers a relaxing and refreshing view of the outdoor pool with a lush tropical garden setting. Guest can either dine outdoor beside the pool terrace or indoor.

The interior décor offers a minimalist design which gives plenty of space for guest to move freely without bumping in one another during your frequent trip to the buffet spread.

One of the key interesting furniture is the rattan “love seats” which set the tones for couples to dine in a carefree romantic setting environment.

For the local dish, the KONTIKI Pool Side Restaurant Federal Hotel Bukit Bintang also serves the Tunku’s Abdul Rahman (Malaysia First Prime Minister) favourite dish.

which is Udang Rebus Pucuk Asam.

As there were just too many dishes that are served in this buffet, we did not manage to try out all the other Continental and Asian buffet spreads which includes the likes of Piperade, Potatoes Cheese, Emice of Beef With Wild Trumpettes, Jingha Masala, Palak Paneer, Dal Malani – Black Lentil With Cream, Beef Rendang, Ikan Masak Asam Pedas and more.

For desserts, there were also too many choices to choose from i.e. cakes, puddings, jelly and etc which unfortunately we did not have the stomach to fill it up anymore.

So, if you are geared for an evening of abundant of food galore, you can make a trip to enjoy this specially cook dishes. But, make sure you have an empty stomach to fill up all this food.
