It has been quite some time since i last dropped by at my favourite Korean restaurant. The place is still crowded with families during weekend nights. And I'm delighted to find a new menu in this cosy restaurant. How many korean restaurants actually offer duck BBQ meat? This is my first time trying the sizzling hot duck meat, with Japanese tofu and mushroom. Just take a slice of vegetables, some meat, mushroom and bean curd, and wrap it together, then the dish turns out very flavourful although it is slightly salty for me. The duck meat is very succulent and I love the layers of fat and lean meat. Nice and worth a try!

At Istana Hotel, I'm stunned with the buffet menu. I have to admit that it has the widest spread of ramadhan buffet by far, and it is full of my favourite seafood, whether in malay or western cooking style. The ambiance is very grand, but nevertheless it gives a comfortable feel because of many homey dishes. Sup Ekor Lembu

One of the favourite of mine would be the oxtail soup, simply rich with hints of sourish assam flavour. Slow-cooked for several hours, the broth is an enjoyable dish for the health goodness. The soup is neither too salty nor bland for me, and I love matching it with some fluffy nasi bukhari to enhance the taste. Overall, the buffet is quite hearty for me, satisfying my palate.

The special promotion for Ramadhan at Swiss Garden Hotel tempts me because it costs only RM68 per pax for a sumptuous spread of buffet! This time it focuses on Middle Eastern as well as Kampung style of dishes, where I find over 130 types of food there. But something that I would highlight is their dessert! The middle eastern dessert which I have not tried before is on the buffet bar, so I grab some to try. Most of them are crispy, with bursting myriad flavours. The dark-colored doughnut-like dessert is overly sweet for me, then the one next to me is simply light and addictive. They're well presented and tastes great to finish a hearty meal.

At the 39 Restaurant, Ramadhan buffet is priced at RM99++ and this is my first time stepping into this business hotel. I'm really satisfied with the many choices in the buffet. Some that satiates my palate are rendang ayam, nasi briyani, gulai kawah masak ikan masin, just to name a few. Nothing can beat the lemang here, surprisingly it is one of the best I've tried. Apart from the strong coconut milk flavour in the glutinous rice, the flavour is further enhanced by some salt. And a dip into the sweet serunding ayam is simply perfect. The rice is neither too dry nor soggy, with the moist flakes of chicken floss. Delicious.

In conjunction with the Hari Raya celebration by Hotel Armada Petaling Jaya, I went for their Ramadhan buffet, which is priced at RM 85++ per adult. The buffet spread is really wide that I don't know which to choose! For the starter, I had different types of Kerabu, as well as western cold cuts. Among so many malay hot dishes, this is the best I've tried. I'm totally smitten with the galangal fried chicken, which is deep fried into golden brown perfection with a strong aroma of local herbs. The shredded galangal itself is very flavourful and good to go with some light nasi briyani! The lengkuas itself is very sweet with the herbs flavours.
