There are many restaurant that offers Ramadan Buffet during the Puasa month for muslim community. Palm Cafe offers a wide variety of food besides the traditional Malay cuisine. The theme for this year Ramadan at Palm Cafe is "RAMADAN WARISAN BUFFET"


Executive Sous Chef Sim Hoong Sam and his team goes the extra mile to bring you flavours from Malaysia’s different ethnic cultures and traditions such as Ikan Sembilang Salai Masak Lemak, Cili Padi, Assam Pedas Squid with Ladies Fingers, Kam Heong Bamboo Clams, Udang Goreng Kandar, Roti Canai and Murtabak just to name a few.

Main courses are balanced out with a variety of appetizers, ulam-ulam and complemented with the delightful dessert counter.

Pulut Durian
The dessert counter features Ice cream, Malay Kuih, Pulut Durian, Tapai, Sago Gula Melaka, Bread Pudding and more.


As there were just too many food offering; my top pick for Palm Cafe for this Ramadan review are as follows:


Kawah with Kari Kepala Ikan- simply tasteful with full spice flavour and best eaten with white rice, roti boom and/or roti telor (available at one of the store). The fish used here is the Red Snapper.


Next is the Roast Lamb which you can eat with the Nasi Briyani, or Naan Bread.


followed by Kam Heong Bamboo Clams


and the Assam Pedas Squid with Ladies Fingers


 Udang Goreng Kandar



and lastly the Laksa Sarawak which the laksa broth was very flavourful.


and local fruits to wash down all the sumptuous feast that we had.

The Buzz Restaurant at Hotel Premiere Klang – Delightful Mouth Watering Spread Ramadan Buffet.


The Buzz Restaurant at Hotel Premiere Klang – Delightful Mouth Watering Spread Ramadan Buffet.


Not many Ramadan buffet in the Klang Valley offers more than 100 types of dishes. but here at The Buzz Restaurant located at Hotel Premiere in Klang it serves more than 100 dishes.


Ranging from Salad, Cold Cut, Ulam, Gado-Gado, Soup, Pizza, Spaghetti, Curry Noodles, Main Dishes (more than 10), BBQ (Lamb, Seafood, Chicken Wings), Nasi Briyani, Nasi Ayam, limitless desserts and the in season Durian Kampung. Sadly, yours truly is not able to try out every single dish here. It must be the first time in a buffet that I was unable to savour every dish that was served.


One of the main points according to Executive Chef of The Buzz Restaurant @Hotel Premiere- Mr. William Teo (more than 35 years of experience specializing in Western and Malay Dishes), it is not the number of dishes that we served but most importantly each dish were cooked to give you a total culinary delights to steer your every taste bud.


Above all, there are many “LIVE” cooking stations to ensure that your dishes are cooked and served just for you. You can choose your favorite ingredients and the portion for the Chef to cook it.


For the night, below are the lists of my favorite


The main highlight is the Roast Lamb – freshly Roasted and cut to the right serving size. The Lamb (from New Zealand) was marinated for more than one whole day before being roasted to perfection. The meat was tender and succulent. With the added brown sauce, it was a perfect fit to start this culinary experience.


My next favourite is the Sambal Petai Prawn. The prawn was very firm and the sambal gravy was so ingrained into the prawns and very juicy. The Petai was purposely half cooked so that you can savour the bitter sweet taste of the petai and the aromatic flavour of the petai. Blended with the sambal sauce, it was indeed tantalizing.


Next is the Soup Rusa, which was another fine example of the creativeness of the Chef, most restaurant will either serve you the soup kambing, gearbox or tulang rusuk. With the right blend of spices used and the use of venison meat as the base, it does not have any musky taste and not overwhelmimg.


For the main dish, we had the Stir Fried Beef With Capsicum & Black Pepper, the beef was very tender and the peppery sauce was not too spicy.


In the Briyani section, you can try the meat of choice of - Lamb, Chicken or Beef Curry With Potatoes. I personally enjoyed the Beef Curry, as it have a watery texture and the beef was very well cooked and the meat have a soft texture making it very easy to eat.


 In the Luk Luk section, I  had the Poach Tiger Prawn,  the freshness of the prawns top it off. You can just eat it on its own without any need for any extra sauce and you will be able to appreciate the natural sweetness and the firm texture of the prawns.


Next, I had the curry noodles. Apparently, this is the Chef Grandmother Original recipe which has a Baba Nyonya origin. Nyonya Curry are usually laden with a lot of santan and the curry noodles served at The Buzz is of not exception. Due to this, it has a creamy soup texture and couple with the perfect combination of the condiment such as fish ball, cockles, taufoo, taugeh and etc.


Although there are many desserts served like a selection of Malay Traditional Kuih, which I did not have the chance to savour all of it, 


but the one that stands out have to the Sarawa Durian With Pulut. The creamy durian although a little sweeter has a strong durian taste and was the perfect match to the pulut.


The other dishes served at The Buzz @Hotel Premiere are


Briyani Special at The Buzz @Hotel Premiere


Western Salad at The Buzz @Hotel Premiere


Kebab at The Buzz @Hotel Premiere


Chicken and Beef Satay at The Buzz @Hotel Premiere

It was truly a different Ramadan Buffet that I enjoyed very much as the food served was very tasty and have exceeded my expectation in terms of quality and value for money.
