The Sunday Table at ATAS, The RuMa Hotel and Residences, KL

This November, ATAS unveils The Sunday Table, a Sunday buffet series designed to spotlight a different seasonal ingredient every two months. For its debut, guests are invited to experience a lobster extravaganza, showcasing innovative and indulgent dishes crafted around this premium ingredient. The star dishes of the buffet are the delicious River Lobster Sizzle served with crispy spinach cappellini and a Borneo Lobster Thermidor. 

These specialties are complemented by a smorgasbord of international dishes on the buffet line such as beef Wellington, seafood on ice, cold cuts, salads, pasta, grilled meats and seafood, sashimi and sushi,  as well as a selection of items cooked upon order and a delectable selection of desserts and chocolates.

From the cook-to-order menu, you may order the dishes as many times as you like (except for the star dishes, which you can order only once). Our favourites include the NY Steak, a dry aged Angus striploin grilled in the Mibrasa charcoal oven to our preferred doneness, served with crispy hand cut fries, asparagus and Bearnaise sauce.. so good, we ordered this multiple times! We also enjoyed the Ireland Fish & Chips, thanks to the light crispy batter. For this dish, the chefs have chosen to use barramundi, locally and sustainably sourced.  The ATAS Seafood Rice is another must-try item, reminiscent of a paella with lots of fresh seafood such as baby lobster, clams, and scallop. Some other cooked-to-order dishes on the menu this series are lamb ossobuco, oyster rockefeller, grilled seabass, ATAS cordon bleu, Wagyu beef waffle and scrambled egg truffle croissant.

To make your Sunday gatherings even more special, ATAS is also offering beverage packages with free flow selected Beer, Red and White Wine at just an additional RM200, or RM288 for an additional option of Sparkling Wine. Every two months, the ingredient focus will shift, offering an ever-evolving Sunday Table that promises fresh flavours and culinary surprises for each visit.

The Sunday Table buffet is priced at RM 228 nett per person. Available every Sunday from 12.00 to 3.30pm. Book your table via this link.

Miyazaki Wagyu Beef Shabu-Shabu & Sukiyaki @ Hanare Japanese Restaurant, KL

Indulge in an evening of decadence at Hanare Japanese Restaurant, with premium Miyazaki wagyu beef air-flown from Japan. Located in Intermark Mall, this Japanese restaurant is no stranger to KL-ites who enjoy and appreciate authentic Japanese cuisine. 

This special promotion is available for the month of June 2023. Diners can choose to have their beef sukiyaki or shabu-shabu-style. Sukiyaki is recommended for those who prefer heavier flavours, whilst shabu-shabu is great for those who prefer lighter flavours. 

Each set is priced at RM480++ for 2 pax and comes with the following:

♥ 180g Mizayaki wagyu beef
♥ Two grilled Miyazaki beef skewers with cherry tomato
♥ Assortment of vegetables and noodles (udon for shabu-shabu and shirataki for sukiyaki)
♥ Dipping sauces (gomatare and ponzu for shabu-shabu and raw egg for sukiyaki)

If you're unsure on how to cook the sukiyaki / shabu-shabu, the friendly staff will be more than happy to assist you. I personally preferred the sukiyaki as I love stronger flavours, and it complemented the Miyazaki beef perfectly. The beef quality was excellent, as expected of premium Japanese beef. Great for families too, our kids thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience here at Hanare.

Reservations highly recommended; please call 03-2164 2133 to book your table.

Wagyu Pho, Bukit Jalil, KL

We chanced upon Wagyu Pho during our recent visit to Pavilion Bukit Jalil. The restaurant is located in one of the shophouses facing the mall, adjacent to Parkson Level 2 exit.

Since the restaurant is called Wagyu Pho, the boys said it would be a crime not to order the Wagyu pho (RM36.90). It comes with Wagyu beef slices, served rare, which continues to cook in the hot broth. They serve some Thai basil and culantro, which you pick off the stalks / tear into smaller pieces and add to your broth. Using a unique family recipe, the broth has been boiled for 12 hours, for a rich, typical Saigon taste.

They also have regular pho (RM18.90) or mixed pho with sliced beef, beef balls, tendon and brisket (RM28.90).

Pork-free. Full menu can be viewed here.

Opening hours: 11am - 3pm; 5pm - 10pm. Closed on Mondays.

Price: Total bill RM131.60 for 4 pax.

Location: Wagyu Pho - Vietnamese Noodles House, Aurora Place, D-1-10, Plaza Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur.

Flavors at 40 Buffet, TRACE Restaurant & Bar, Element Kuala Lumpur

Element Kuala Lumpur celebrates its fifth year anniversary by launching a collection of health conscious, wellness focused menu options for guests dining at its hotel restaurant located on Level 40 – TRACE Restaurant and Bar. Flavors at 40 is the new buffet that highlights locally sourced, fresh ingredients as well as a selection of healthier dishes and crowd favourites.

The hotel has also embarked on a farm- to –table mission with BoomGrow, to serve fresh and green eats that are great with any choice of food. The greens are harvested from the heart of Kuala Lumpur and served fresh. Diners can assemble their own Poke Bowl with a selection of condiments such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, capsicums, purple cabbage, etc. that are also sourced locally. To encourage healthier eating habits, Element Kuala Lumpur and BoomGrow has also started a campaign, “The Green Chow Down” with goals to embrace creativity in healthy eating.

“After two years in lockdown, Malaysians are embracing cleaner eating habits, with less meat, more greens and more plant-based options. At Element we aim to source our produce locally with the intention of reducing food miles and our carbon footprint. We still offer meat dishes, but we have incorporated more locally-grown vegetables, locally sourced meat, and seafood and cooking ingredients into our buffet line,” said Executive Head Chef Mohd Taib Ridhwan.

Diners can also look out for wholesome dishes such as – Chinese Style Double Boiled Soup with Herb and Fungus, Chicken Salad, Slow Roasted Herbed Mutton, Braised Mock Chicken with Mushroom, Mussels Cooked in Spicy Coconut Gravy with Johor Pineapples, Stir Fried Thai Basil Beef, Wok Fried Mixed Vegetables, homemade soups and broths.

Look out for the live –pasta station, with homemade tomato pasta sauce; locally sourced from Cameron Highlands. The ala-minute cooking style also reduces wastage as diners can select their own condiments, sauces and additional ingredients.

The buffet also offers crowd favorites such as Char Kway Teow, TRACE Signature Pizza, Curry Laksa, Fruit Rojak; assorted Grilled Western and Asian delights.
