We started our first Ramadhan buffet this year at Federal Hotel in Bukit Bintang. Me and my hubby were planning to meet our friends who have never experienced the Ramadhan Buffet before and we decided to take them somewhere they can experience both Malaysian as well as Western type of food. We were not really sure if the buffet will be good since we did not have quite a good experience of 'Buka Puasa' at one of the five star hotels around Bukit Bintang area last year. It was quite frustrating especially when you know this 5 star hotel hired people who worked at the stall to cook for the buffet.
So both of us were quite concerned if our friends as well as us will not enjoy the food at the restaurant in Royale Bintang. From the hotel's description of the buffet for the Ramadhan at The Verandah, it sounded quite good and interesting. Oh well, we just have to give a try right if not we would not know about it.
We arrived at the hotel slightly earlier than we thought. We had to wait a little bit before the buka puasa. It gave some time to catch up with our friends about the latest news and stories. We then went around to have a look at the selection of food that the hotel provided. the selection of food was actually really good and appetising. Both of us we drooling over the food and had a difficulty to decide which one to take first.
There were five sections for the buffet, the first one is at the outside where they have food such as Roti Canai, Beriani, Mee Kari, Lok Lak and Nasi Ayam. And on the aother side of the restaurant which is still at the outside, a selection of satay, tandoori chicken and nasi impit were served
Meanwhile in the restaurant there are the middle part where the main malaysia food as well as salad and kerabu were served. They also cooked a wide range or dessert as well as western food, such as rosemary roast potatoes, roasted lamb, lasagna, crispy duck and mix veggies.
All of us were so stuffed at the end of the big feast. We were really glad that we did try the buffet at this hotel and we definitely recommend for people out there who are big eating out fan to try the Ramadhan buffet here at The Royale Bintang.
Here is the link of the hotel with the description of the food and the price for the buffet:

Ramadhan
I am so grateful to be given a chance to celebrate Ramadhan again this year 2010. This year I will have a chance to write my experience trying Ramadhan Buffet at restaurants and hotel cafes in this blog. I always look forward for the Ramadhan every year. The excitement of fasting, dealing with the daily routine as well as getting up early in the morning for sahur make Ramadhan the special month of the year.
May our Ramadhan this year will be filled with blessings and happiness....Amin....

Crispy Wedges |
We went into the restaurant with the hope that the food will be good. Judging by the atmospehere of the place at that time, we were'nt really sure what to expect of the place. It was so dead quiet and there was nobody there. The staffs were just sitting around nothing much to do.
Crunchy Chicken Chop |
We ordered our food after browsing the menu for quite a while. The menu was quite various from Malay type of food to simple Western food. We ordered some starters such as wedges and mushroom soup (recommended by the staff) while waiting for the main course. We were so suprised and amazed especially with the soup, it was really good, made from scratch and fresh. I can taste the mushroom bits in it. The wedges were crunchy and tasty too. Nothing much to comment on the food though.
I ordered for Curry Noodle for my main course. It was not that bad except that the cockles that they put in were not fresh and smelly. I did not finish my meal eventhough the portion was not too big.
The real authentic Mushroom Soup |
My hubby and my sister asked for chicken chop for their main course. It was quite nice and good. The portion of the food was just nice, not too big or small. The chicken was crispy and tender while the chips were crispy too.
All and all this place is not too bad. The food is good especially the mushroom soup and it is reasonable. We were not really impressed with the waterfront view but it did not dampen our overall judgement of the restaurant.
