Hilton Kuala Lumpur Sentral Features the 'Santapan DiRaja' themed buffet for Buka Puasa / Iftar for this holy month of Ramadan.
The the feast fit for a king showcases regal favourites of the royal families of Perak, Melaka, Johor and more. It is accompanied by nightly outstanding live Silat and traditional music performances.
In the four years of reviewing the Ramadan Buka Puasa fare here, there's is no better time to come together at Hilton Kuala Lumpur for a truly tasty treat as the management and chefs have got it right this year with some amazing dishes.
Visually the dishes were so good that you are bound to take everything you see, please control yourself here and take what you can eat,.....unlike yours truly.....
It not only looked good it tasted damn good too! Here are some visuals to give you an idea what to expect at Hilton Kuala Lumpur's 'Santapan DiRaja' themed buffet

| Kudos To the Hilton KL Management for trying to give the place a Royal ambiance by getting two warriors to stand at the entrance and do a silat performance. I only wished they could do the silat acts in all corners of the restaurant and not only in the front. |
The great thing about the buffet here is there was a good flow to all the stations
ROAST LAMB, BRIYANI AND AYAM PERCIK
You have to taste the succulent roast lamb and ayam percik with the briyani.

It was no surprise that the seafood section was another crowd favourite with some really fresh stuff. Two of the reviewers really put away quite a number of oysters, mussels, prawns and mini lobster like thingy's, i can't remember whats it called now......
SATAY
They had a Choice of Beef or Chicken Satay with Tangy Peanut Sauce, Ketupat. Lemang Pulut and many more.
FRIED & INDIAN SECTION
My favourite section was the Indian Section, seriously its a sight to behold! The Ikan Goreng Berempah, mini ketam, burung puyuh goreng and tandoori chicken were tasty and made to perfection. Try the soft shell crabs while its hot. The Indian curries and Murtabak were super tasty. they had some vegetarian dishes here too.

The Prawn Noodles section seem to be another crowd favourite with various types of Dim Sum.
SALADS AND TRADITIONAL ULAM-ULAMAN
For those who like their Salads they had an extensive Salad Bar. They had some traditional Ulam-Ulaman too
ITALIAN SECTION
The Italian Section offered guest some variety with two types of pasta.
THE MALAY TRADITIONAL KUIH
This section really brought back some nice childhood memories with one of the best variety of traditional malay kuih.
FRUITS, DESSERTS AND DRINKS
The fruits, desserts and drinks section was off course one of the most sought section, I had no less than 6 glasses of Longan. I even "stole" the glass of the other reviewers. They had enough desserts to keep you happy. Here Ice Cream come on a stick like the kampung days. They had cempedak ice cream
DID YOU KNOW THERE IS NO ENGLISH NAME FOR CEMPEDAK, IF ANYONE KNOWS WHATS THE ENGLISH NAME FOR CEMPEDAK DO MESSAGE ME! Cempedak and Nangka is translated as being Jackfruit. We all know both are not the same.
