When walking into the lobby of the Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur you can always get the feeling something special is awaiting for you. The beautiful lobby creates a great ambiance and confirms that you have arrived in a true 5 star establishment.
For this holy month of Ramadan, the hotel has a Gamelan troupe that plays soothing traditional tunes to welcome guest of the hotel. The musicians donned matching costumes as the decor making them one of the best looking troupes.
The Ramadan Buka Puasa Buffet at Lemon Garden Cafe this features a wider variety of Malay dishes compared to last year. In addition to that they also had Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Italian andMiddle Eastern influenced cuisine with a barbecue by the terrace.
They have really outdone themselves this year with one one of the best buka puasa fares in town. Presentation of the food was awesome and made guest really hungry. I promised my other reviewers that i was not going to eat much, but I failed miserably in keeping that promise when my eyes feasted on what was laid out.
The most sought after section of any buka puasa buffets is the Roast Lamb section and it was no different here, judging from the crowds that lined up here at this section for the lamb with briyani rice, Many could be seen going for seconds and thirds. The lamb was full of flavour and tasty. That night 6 Full lambs were brought out and served.
