40) The Best Ramadan Buffet of 2016:
BEST FB KL's choice for the Best Ramadhan Buka Puasa Buffet is Royale Chulan Hotel Kuala Lumpur's "Royale Buffet". This is the the third year in a row, that they have come out top's in our review!!!
The exquisite ambiance of the huge Taman Mahsuri courtyard gives the The Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur a sort of unfair advantage over other hotels, but as mentioned above, we consider many other things when selecting the best Ramadhan Buka Puasa Offering among the 5 Star Hotels in Kuala Lumpur.
The Royale Chulan continues to surprise us every year, just when we thought they can't do any better! They get top marks for having the most variety of food and providing an overall tasty fare.
They price their buffet at RM138.00, For Senior Citizens its at RM98.00.
The Hotel Istana's fare was very good too, however the Royale Chulan Hotel held a very slight edge over it.
When you have a buffet with an Ice Kacang or ABC stall with over 200 condiments, with more than 1000 different dishes and over 30 live cooking station and sections, it's not a surprise to see why they are being selected again this year.
It was here that we had the best ever Bubur Pulut Hitam here. It was so good I wanted to ask the Chef to do a take away!
The combination of the awesome Buffet Spread , the presence of a very good ghazal band , the waterfall, the greenery surrounding the Taman Mahsuri Courtyard, the colourful decorations & lights make the Royale Chulan Hotel Kuala Lumpur Ramadan Buka Puasa "Royale Buffet", the Buffet of all Buffets in 2016.
