A Preview - Iftar Ramadhan Al Mubarak At Silka Maytower
Imagine spending hours on your feet along Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman (Jalan TAR), Jalan Masjid India, Jalan Bunus and the surrounding area during the fasting month for your Raya shopping. And after all that hard "workout", wouldn't it be nice to sit back and enjoy a delicious, affordably priced buffet in comfort?
That's what came to my mind when we arrived to Silka Hotel Maytower for a preview of their Ramadhan Iftar buffet promotion. Having Jakel right across the street of this hotel doesn't hurt either. Hahaha
What Silka Hotel offers for their iftar/buka puasa are a delightful spread of familiar, kampong dishes. Good 'ol kampung stuff.
I was informed the signatures dishes will be rotated on daily basis and the highlight at Silka Maytower, according to the General Manager, Mr Henry Loo are the asam pedas spread.
Ooooh, the asam pedas batang keladi sure bring back memories of sahur (pre-dawn meal) of my childhood.
Good thing my boys were free to accompany me for the preview that evening. Much more convenient when the big boy can drive me over to the hotel too! Hehehe
Some of our personal favourites, from the spread that evening...
Daging masak lemak - the non-cili padi version though. ;-)
Keli masak berlada.
From the grill section - nasi arab (actually forgot the name lah...), kambing golek and sup tulang. That's hubby's plate, right there.
Sambal udang petai is my fave!!!
So is the mussels too. ^^
Fom the grill section :
Roti John in the making. There were murtabaks too. A "whole" kambing was being grilled behind the chef. Couldn't get a decent shot of it.
The usual suspects - satay.
Mee bandung from the noodle section.
Lemang, ketupat, rendang and serunding. Feeling rather festive and "Raya"-like, aren't we? hehehe
At the desserts section, there were an assortments of local kueh and pengat too. My fave - pengat labu. Son had pengat pisang. Yum yum.
And they happen to have my fave fruits too!
If only Silka Maytower served durians, I would be 200% happy. LOL
But all in all, a good buffet spread and we had and enjoyed a good meal. ^^

ReplyDeletePS: Say hello and xxx to the boys.

DeleteRelax, woman. We still have about 3 weeks before the start of the holy month. ;)
Hello Lina,
ReplyDeleteTime flies very fast and ramadhan is on its way. As for us in sarawak..we are now busy shopping for gawai.
Whenever there's a ramadhan buffet..i usually join tje crowd at least once.
Till then....have a nice day k?
Happy Gawai to you.
DeleteI haven't tasted any of the food out there, but they looked very delicious to me. Maybe I can google those recipes:)
ReplyDeleteOh my stomachhhhhhhhh Lina you are just so cruel in a lovable kind of way hehehehe as i read through this blog and looking at each delicious dish, my stomach started growling and i just had dinner an hour ago. Everything is lemak-ly sedap! Steady jugak sampai ada preview this hotel eh..i saw Jakel Mall on my way back yesterday from Setiawangsa, , must be new because ive not seen that before. RIGHTO, this i shall have to twist my friend's arm to make a trip to this hotel for the berbuka.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty reasonable price for a buka puasa meal in such a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteYummy food!! But can't go buffet anymore nowadays. Cant and refuse to eat so much LOL!
ReplyDeleteOmg! Everything is so yummy, I love pengat labu, mee bandung, rendang, ketupat and all.
ReplyDeleteI would be a happy bunny if I can find a Ramadhan bazaar here, let alone a buka puasa buffet meal!
ReplyDeletep/s - i have never eaten asam pedas batang keladi before.. is it a common dish?
Well, you can find it at some mixed rice stalls here. :)
DeleteYou are always a lucky gal to have the big boy and small boy to accompany you everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI always eat more local food esp spicy kampong fares at buffets. Western food is too bland and less exciting for my tongue!
