Zende Restaurant is the lobby lounge which caters for all-day dining in Seri Pacific Hotel KL. The hotel looks quite new for me after the refurbishment and one night stay in the hotel comes with free breakfast buffet at Zende.
I tried their blueberry pancake, it is freshly bake and I can feel the mushy texture of the dough, stuffed with very creamy bits of blueberries. The melting sauce is warm while served, and I enjoy the sweetness in it. It is very light, and can be taken as dessert by adding a scoop of ice cream. The buffet spread also comes with nasi lemak, noodles, bread, pastry, croissants, porridge and many more, it is a lovely spread indeed!

Located near to NSK Kuchai Lama, this cafe can hardly be noticed, but it is definitely a place where good food lies in. The patrons normally consist of usual customer, for lunch and tea break because they are famous for their mille crepe cake as well as other english desserts. I tried their apple cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream topping @ RM7.90. A poke into the cake reveals the sweet juicy apple slices as well as spongy cake layers. The cake is served warm, while with the ice cream on top, it becomes very soft and gooey when going into the mouth. Surprisingly, it is naturally sweetened by the apple cuts and hence not cloying at all. Delicious for a perfect weekend tea!

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.
