Some people asked me, after eating almost 15 Ramadhan buffets in almost all the hotels in KL, which is the best?
It was a imminent question really, one that I foresee to be one of my blogs FAQ of the year. After all, its understandable that most people would want to head over to the best of the best Ramadhan buffet in town.
While JW Marriot was close, it was The Mill, Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur that impressed me the most. I wont say it was 100% perfect (frankly, there are always hits and misses in buffets) but since almost all the sections managed to please my rather fussy palate; I rate this one higher than the rest.
Below: The rather juicy, tender lamb. The best I had so far.
Another reason why I would recommend The Mill at Grand Millennium is for the variety as well. From the lamb to the curries, Japanese and even the desserts, this spread wasnt only covering the traditional delicacies but boasts of a rather extensive medley of western and Asian cuisine as well.
I trust this is ideal as diners would have more options; and not to mention loads more food to enjoy for the price paid!
Below: Im loving the scallops!
The Jap! anese se ction is one of my favourites for sure. Who says no to fresh sashimi anyways?
I liked the Indian section too. The curries was flavourful and the spices has permeated into the seafood/meat of each pot, ensuring a tasty mouthful for every bite.
This was something unique and I couldnt get enough of it that evening but unfortunately couldnt remember at all what is was! A safe bet is lamb balls.
These lentils curries are best paired with the crispy crackers or ! warm Ind ian flatbreads (naan).
I do love my curries and once I start, I cant stop! Heres the Malay section, where more choices awaits me.
Lets not forget our fibres
These are lamb meatballs. I personally helped myself to about 10
Another must the Sup Ekor.
Roti and crackers again
Though I shy away from deep-fried food, these were addictive, thanks to the marinate.
The best were the bouncy, soft squids.
Perfect to pair with the aromatic rice.
Its a Ramadhan Buffet, so heres the Malay appetisers and chilli pastes (sambals).
Should you have a Chinese stomach (I do know many friends who does), d! im sum, kam heong stir-frys, ubiquitoussweet sour dishes and your typical chap choy mixed vegetables should satisfy.
Im not very Chinese, but I do love a simple steamed fish!
A bit of Japanese influences added zest to the spread. Heres the lightly battered katsu and there were the all time favourite tempura as well, though not pictured here.
Sweet Japanese potatoes.
Below: Pink se! ared bee f from the teppanyaki station.
Next, the Western station.
Instead of big chafing dishes, everything here were prepared in small portions and refilled just before each plate is empty. This ensures freshly prepared hot dishes throughout the duration of the buffet.
A touch of Italian is available as well.Pizzas are freshly baked on the spot and theres a live station for the pasta too.
Grilled items were popular throughout the night.
I wont go into details for the appetisers and cold stations. Take a look yourself!
Fancy making your own pie tees?
Now heres my favourite part. DESSERTS!
Chocolate fountain are a common sight at buffet nowadays. I remember how back then it was a rarity and considered a premium for buffets.
Speaking of chocolate, heres the chocolate souffle. It looked deceivingly like a chocolate molten/lava cake thus some of us were disappointed that there were no liquid chocolate oozing out. But hey, read the label, its a souffle!
Mango and cheesecakes.
Other than ais kacang, chinese soupy desserts like this were freshly brewed.
Lets not forget the Malay/Nyonya favourites.
Sometimes overlooked, but dates are an integral part of Ramadhan.
Simple fried bananas goes! great w ith ice cream!
Fruits.
So yes, head over to The Mill Cafe in Grand Millennium Hotel if youre looking for a good spread of both kampung and international fare in ONE buffet!
