Ramadan Buffet @ The Resort Cafe, Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa


It's already a week plus into the month of Ramadan. This Ramadan, The Resort Café at Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa has crated a kaleidoscopic of over 400 authentic dishes for breaking-of-fast / buffet dinner from 27 May to 24 June 2017. I savoured their fares a couple of weeks back under a media preview, and they totally got a thumbs up from me. Check it out below.

This year, alongside the many perennial dishes, the brigade of chefs led by The Resort Café’s Chef De Cuisine Parthiban Nalliah and a team of 20 speciality chefs are introducing a melting pot of timeless and generational recipes to entice and rekindle the palate. There's just so much to choose from, you'll be amazed.

The carving station will feature the “Kambing Golek”, on the buffet spread where the chefs will slice the succulent meat directly unto the diners’ plate. The whole leg of lamb is boiled for two hours and then marinated with local spices and mixed herbs (ginger, garlic, salt, masala, coriander, yoghurt, mint leaves and cumin powder) before slowly roasting for four hours to retain its moisture, producing a tender and juicy meat for diners to enjoy. Good stuff!

These are really good!
