2016 Ramadan Buffet Shah Alam: View Cafe Best Western i-City Hotel Shah Alam Klang - Traditional IFTAR


This year; The View Cafe located on Level 5 Best Western i-City Shah Alam A-GF-01 No.6 Persiaran Shah Alam City Park i-City 40000 Shah Alam Selangor welcomes Ramadhan 2016 with an array of traditional Iftar offerings during the holy month.



Nestled in between Subang Jaya and Klang, this place is ideal to get together for folks that are staying around the Klang or Shah Alam vicinity.


Apart from the mains, you can start the Buka Puasa with the ulam-ulam kampung, varieties of kerabu, rojak buah, and tauhu sumbat followed by the array of main tasty dishes.


Among some of the main dishes that are served for the Ramadhan Buka Puasa Buffet is the Ayam Goreng Berempah


or my personal favourite; which is Fish Curry. Compared to the conventional; the fish which is Ikan Tenggiri are pre-fried before being cooked in the curry. This gives the fish a tastier option as compared with a more conventional cooking method which leaves the taste of the fish rather bland in the meat texture.


or you can try out the soft texture Daging Masak Merah that goes well with the Nasi Tomato or Nasi Puteh.


I somehow like this simple Egg Foo Yong dish. Served with a multiple layers of fried eggs which I really like. Can't help going for a second helping.


This dish which is Baby Kailan Oyster Sauce was the first to finish and I did not really get a chance to taste it. Either it is that good or people nowadays are keener in taking more vegetables.


Another not to be missed dish which seems to be a standard fare in most Ramadhan buffet is the Whole Roast Lamb which is served with Mint sauce or the Black Pepper sauce.

.

Others dishes that you can try out is the Wok Fried Squid With Dry Chilli.

 

or for those that fancy snack food can try out the Gado-Gado.


and not forgetting some classic Malay dish which includes the Lemang, Ketupat & Serunding


For Desserts, you can taste out some of the pudding



or the Assortment of Malay Kuih

Durian - King Of Fruit Season Is Here in Malaysia - Musang King and Black Thorn Durian Feast at Durian King TTDI Bukit Bintang


Durian - The King Of Fruit Season has finally arrived. For fans and diehard of Durian, you can start to indulge in Durians for the next 2 -3 months.


At Durian King Bukit Bintang and Durian King TTDI, the season starts off with the arrival of 2 of the most sought after Durian species which is the Musang King (from Raub) and also the Black Thorn (from Penang).



We had the first-hand opportunity to taste these 2 species of Durian; For the Black Thorn, this is the first time that I have tasted it. For fans of Musang King, the Black Thorn is one level up in terms of taste and texture; it has that is creamier texture and taste compares with Musang King.

Photo Courtesy of Durian King Facebook page
One of the distinctive difference is the colour of the Durian flesh, while the Musang King is bright yellow as the earlier photo; the top quality flesh of a Black Thorn is orange in colour. We were told that for Black Thorn; it will taste even better when it is kept one day after picking up the fruit which has just drop from the Durian fruit tree. By doing so; it will turn the Durian flesh to have that bright glowing orange colour as depicted by the above photo.


At Durian King; all the durian are transported fresh from the contracted farm in Penang and Raub on a daily basis. We were told that in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, you will not be able to get any Black Thorn Durian from any Durian store as they have contracted all of the farms that supply this Black Thorn.


To spot the difference between Black Thorn and other species is quite easy. You just look at the bottom of the Durian and in the middle, you will see a thorn jutting out and it will turn black when it is ripe; but it does fall off;



the other distinct feature is the shape of the Durian which resembles a Star Fruit like shape as shown in the photo.


For the Musang King, to identify; there is 2 distinct character; the first is the marking around the durian at the stem as shown above.


and at the bottom, there is a star like brown marking there.



Durian Musang King


At Durian King, they are also the first in Malaysia to serve Chill Durian at the shop; We quip; why sell chill Durians; the owner says that in the past he noticed that there are a number of customers that like to bring home the Durian to be consumed after chilling it; so he decided to invest in the chiller and put up the Durian in the chiller for customer to enjoy chilled Durian. You can still opt for the Non-chill version too.


Lastly; one of the most talked about dessert in town now is the Durian Cendol. At Durian King Bukit Bintang and Durian king TTDI, they are also jumping on this bandwagon to serve Durian Cendol too; but in this case, we had the Black Thorn Durian Cendol instead.


We were also given a short lesson on how to choose a nice Durian by the Durian King himself Mr Erik Ong; just for your info 

First test: You pick up a Durian; put it near your nose; take a deep sniff (breath) from the nose to smell it; if you can smell the durian aroma you pass the first test.

Second Test: Give it a shake; if you can feel that there is knocking; that means the Durian is good.


There you have it; So for Durian fans; get ready your stomach to feast on the King of Fruits - The Durian season is here.

2016 Ramadan Buffet Kuala Lumpur - Enak KL Malay Fine Dining Restaurant Starhill Gallery Bukit Bintang - Santapan Kampung Tradisi



This year 2016 Ramadan, rediscover one of Moyang's (ancestor in Malay) specialties you haven’t tasted in years as you feast in one of the well known Malay Fine Dining Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur which is the Enak KL Malay Fine Dining Restaurant located at  LG2, Feast Floor, Starhill Gallery, 181 Jalan Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur.


Enak KL's combination of delicious authentic cuisine and heartwarming service has won them numerous awards over the years. Leveraging on their focus to bringing traditional Malay cuisine to the fine dining population, Enak KL has won many well-deserving accolades and followings.


The fine attention to detail is evidenced from the elegant and cosy ambience. Ensuring your palate is suitably imbued with the unmistakable richness of the Malay culinary heritage, every dish is prepared using age-old recipes (more than 100 years old) that have been passed down from four generations to stay true to delivering to the renowned traditional Malay Fine Cuisine.


For the Ramadan Buffet aptly named as Santapan Kampung Tradisi, there is a daily rotating menu that is served to guest; we had a special preview of some of the highlight dishes for the Ramadan and we started with the speciality appetiser dishes which is the Mango Kerabu.


The second appetiser is the Pergedel Kentang



followed by the Tempe Goreng


and the final one was the Kerabu Ikan Pari.


For the main dish, we particularly like the Ikan Assam Pedas Bendi (this is the Johor version which has a strong flavour and thicker sauce texture as compared with the Melaka version). Best eaten with steaming hot white rice.


followed by the Ayam Percik - I am not usually a fan of Ayam Percik but here it has a very smooth taste from the marination and blended well with the Percik sauce; while the chicken was grilled to the right balance unlike those that I have eaten before at other restaurants.


Other mains are the Sambal Tumis Udang Petai


and the Gulai Daging Kentang


and we finish off with the crunchy Pucuk Paku Goreng Cendawan


For dessert, we had the Pisang Caramel


Puteri Mandi  - a glutinous dough flavoured with coconut cream and served with gula Melaka.


and the Sago Gula Melaka


So if you want to tantalise your family members, business associates and friends, you can bring them to Enak KL to taste out some of this authentic Malay dishes for this Ramadan.

Beginning 9 June till 1 July 2016, the buffet is RM85 nett per adult and RM45 nett for children between the ages of 5 to 12 years old. For reservations and enquiries, Call +603-2141 8973 or Email info@enakkl.com
