Ramadan Buffet 2017 @ Nook, Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral

This holy month of Ramadan, Nook in Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral will be offering an enhanced spread of traditional Ramadan favourites at its live action stations in addition to its buffet spread of local and international cuisine for diners to break fast during dinner.  Created by Nook's Sous Chef Ahmed Zaki bin Harun, there will be over 150 dishes showcased during the Ramadan buffet on a rotational basis with a focus on authentic Malay food. Good news: Nook's kitchen is now certified Halal.

The centrepiece for the Ramadan buffet is the Nasi Kambing Sumbat, roasted whole lamb stuffed with Arabic fragrant rice. The meat was tender and well-spiced, simply irresistible. Another highlight of the buffet is Chef Zaki's Slow braised beef shin rendang, which has been slow cooked for over 7 hours and seasoned generously with traditional Asian spices of salt, pepper, cinnamon, and star anise.

Chef Zaki also recommends that diners check out the Masak lemak itik and Pucuk rebung masak lemak (Bamboo shoots cooked in coconut milk) at the buffet line, as he reckons it's pretty rare to find these traditional dishes elsewhere.

Check out the array of curries available such as Crab Curry, Fish Head Curry, Ayam Masak Merah, Gulai Kambing, and Gulai Itik. I love the crab curry while my dining partner just couldn't get enough of the fish head curry.
