It is that time of the year again where the Muslims in the world celebrate Ramadhan, the month of fasting and breaking fast! To commemorate this holy month, many restaurants are offering ‘Buka Puasa’ buffets with various themes. Maytower Hotel & Serviced Residences is one of the many offering Ramadhan buffet, with their concept of ‘Balik Kampung’, which meant plenty of traditional home-style dishes that you would get back in your hometown.

Various appetizers

As with all buffet lines, there were three main sections of food – appetizers, main course and desserts. I found the Kerabu Mangga dengan Kacang to be sour and slightly spicy with a nutty finish, whetting up my appetite for the main courses. Be careful not to bite into those fiery bird’s eye chillies though!

The Rojak Buah was served with plenty of cut fresh fruits centred around a bowl of thick and gooey rojak sauce. Go crazy with your imagination to mix and match according to your own desire.

Of course, how could I miss out on Lemang and Rendang, my two most favourite food during Raya? I’m happy to report that the Lemang at La Maison was moist, soft and fragrant, so much so that I had multiple helpings of it! And I seldom have multiple helpings of anything in a buffet line.

The Rendang Ayam was flavourful and soft, a sign that it was well-marinated and cooked for long hours. Combining Rendang and Lemang will never fail, but I found out that combining Lemang and Serunding was astounding!

Serunding Ayam, or the floss version of chicken rendang, was my new-found love. This unassuming dish of chicken floss was fluffy, savoury, fragrant and very addictive! The combination of this with lemang was the reason why I had multiple helpings, and I would have had more if it was not for my limited tummy space.

Various Main Dishes

From the array of main dishes, some of the more memorable items were the Stir-fried Beef with Black Pepper and Bell Pepper and the Kambing Kurma, both of which were tender, juicy and had delicious gravy. I had this with Nasi Tomato and couldn’t get enough of it!

Ayam Masak Merah Bermadu

While the main dishes were pretty good, some of the sides were less impressive, such as the Popiah which had skin too thick for my liking, and the Otak-Otak, which would have tasted better served warm.

There was also the unmistakable whole Roasted Lamb with a friendly carver to boot! Just stand in front of the counter and he would be happy to serve you freshly roasted lamb with a smile.

Last but not least, desserts came in the form of local cakes and Malay delicacies such as Bubur Durian and nyonya kuih.

While the buffet spread here might not be as extensive or huge, they kept their focus to the theme of ‘Balik Kampung’ and served mostly traditional dishes with good quality. This was definitely the case of quality winning over quantity.
