Ramadhan Buffet at Grand Bluewave Hotel 2014

For the non-Muslim Malaysians, Ramadan Al-Mubarak means there will be plenty of food variety to choose from at the local 'Pasar Ramadan'. We have to admit, me (included) that we may spend more than what we can eat just because everything looks delicious especially when you are buying while you are hungry! If a comfy and a different eating experience is what you are looking for, then going for a Ramadan buffet at a hotel may be just something that you might want to try.

Food Social recently attended the Grand Bluewave Hotel's Ramadan Buffet Media Food Review. The purpose is to showcase their upcoming buffet spread. Based on the news release and the brief by their friendly and bubbly Public relations manager Achiek Sidek, the menu consists of a mixture of fusion between local and international dishes mainly Arabic and North African dishes (Morocco).

There will be over 250 different dishes laid out everyday during 'Iftar' or 'buka puasa' and the MUST TRY dishes mentioned includes Kambing Golek Sumbat Kebbeh eaten with Kabees Al Qarnabeet & Nasi Oozy Morocco, Ikan Panggang ala Portugis, Asparagus Bebola Ketam just to name a few! If that has made your mouth to start watering, wait till you hear the dessert names. Strawberry Mousse, Mango Pudding, Malay Kuih & Walnut Pie is just some of the desserts that will greet you happily. To wash down all that beautiful food, you are spoilt with choices of Sarsi Selasih, Sugarcan juice, Soy Milk, Mango Juice and the good old Coffee & Tea.

As for the pricing, it depends on which dining location you are heading. Restoran Royale Songket's (Barakah al Mubarak) package price starts at RM127.60 for adults and RM69.60 for children (Nett). Whereas Aras 1 (Fitrah al Mubarak) package price starts at RM103.25 for adults and RM58.00 for children (Nett). Special rates applies for weekends and during public holidays. For a more unique buka puasa experience, you can also try the restoran Jepun Agehan (Iftar Bufet Jepun) with the same price package as Aras 1.

Overall we love almost all the dishes. My personal favorite just had to be the Kambing Golek Sumbat Kebbeh. They are just fabulous. Now for some pictures to make you go hungry.
