Royale Chulan Ramadhan Buffet

It was Nuzul Al-Quran day (17th August) that my company treated all of us to this Buka Puasa buffet at Royale Chulan.

I guess all tables on that evening was fully booked. There were many other people from different companies. And there are lots of food variety too, that i couldn't manage to taste all.

The main dishes: Chicken, Beef, Prawn, etc..with all the middle east dish name which i don't understand.


The appetizer: "Lok-lok" (something like satay), "Aneka Kerabu"- Variety of salad, "Jeruk Buah" - pickled fruits, etc..
I like the salad very much, some with local malay taste and some with thailand taste.


The noodle station was like all-in-one, where you can any type you want: Mee Bandung, laksa, curry etc, I can't remember all.
Some traditional malay food such as "satay", "ketupat", "lemang", "Gulai Kari", "ulam ulaman"- raw vegetables, etc..


Western and Malaysian Pastry: Bread with mushroom soup, Kebab, Roti John, pizza.
I love the fresh mushroom on the pizza very much.


Other delicacies such as Roasted lamb, "Ikan bakar"- grilled fish, Grilled seafood, etc.


There was also fresh shashimi at the small japanese food counter.



Dessert was quite interesting: Chocolate fountain, over 50 bottles of traditional raya cookies for your choices, malay kuih and western cake, fresh local fruits, etc.
I was excited to see over 100 types of ingredient for Ice Kacang! It looked colourful and tempting, but i don't have enough space for this.


Dessert is my favourite. There were so many choices of cakes, tarts, western dessert, especially cheese cake. I should have tried these earlier before the stomach got full.



The price for this Ramadan buffet is RM 99 nett for adults and RM 49 nett for senior citizen and children.
If you come with an empty and elastic stomach, you can try all the food. But don't expect all to be above your expectation level. For variety wise, yes, this is so far the buffet that i had with the most choices including local and western style.

Di-Atas Brasserie High Tea Buffet: Legend Hotel, KL

The Legend Hotel High Tea Buffet provides international cuisine such as western, Thailand, Japanese, as well as local Malaysian Malay, Chinese and Indian food. There are lots of choices, from main course, to dessert. The only limitation is that they don't provide much seafood. However, the place was almost full house during my visit. It may be due to the affordable price range for hotel style buffet.

A variety of western food: Burger, Pizza, Pasta..


Local Nasi Beriani with dishes,



Local Chinese and Malay cuisine,



There are a few special stations such as:
1. Sandwich station, where you can make your own sandwiches from tuna, bacon, vegetables, cheese, etc.
2. Pancake station. The pancakes are made on the spot, and you can add fruits jam, peanut butter, or honey, as much as you wish..
3. Chocolate fountain. Children will be very happy to dip the "fruit-satay"
4. Roasted lamb ribs. It should taste nice as it finishes quite fast.
5. ABC Ice kacang station. Just put cubes of ice into auto blended machine and mix with cendol, red beans, jelly, etc.



They have lots of dessert, in various variety, such as cakes, danish and local kuih.


This is interesting, the French dessert called Creme Brulee! It's similar to egg pudding, with a thin layer of caramel on top. But it comes in a super small portion.
