Nasi Briyani is something that will not be missed out being one of the Ramadhan delight and it tasted as great as how it looks too! The entire briyani rice accompanied by eggs and top sprinkled with fried shallots that made it fragrant and taste good. It is totally perfect to go with any dishes you going to have for your dinner.
 |
| Ayam Tandoori |
Ayam Tandoori, though it was tad too dry to my liking, overall the taste was good and good to go with my plate of briyani rice. Perhaps, it was kinda cold when it was served to us that caused the dryness on the chicken meat.

Oh! There's Ikan Bakar includes in the menu for the Ramadhan buffet too! They were perfectly grilled and dip it with your favorite sauces, you just going to love it.

| Siput Sedut Masak Cili Api |
Another famous dish for the Ramadhan buffet would be the Siput Sedut Masak Cili Api. Judging by its look, nothing that attract yours truly to give a try on it till when the rest started to complimenting how tasty are those lil snails! Without any hesitation, I grabbed one and tried to suck it as hard as I could and I failed. The only taste I have gotten from it was the fiery hot chili taste and oh! Just so you know that, the art of eating it is by sucking it. I managed to tried it after few attempts of sucking it and yes, it was so tasty and seriously can be really addictive in a way.
 |
| Mutton Rogan Josh |
The Mutton Rogan Josh, also known as lamb curry in the list too! It looked too spicy for me, but eating it with briyani rice will be different case. I love the tenderness and though it was kinda spicy to my liking, I still enjoy eating it.
 |
| Singapore Chili Crab |
Another crowd's favorite for the night was the Singapore Chili Crab! No, it is not all the way came from Singapore. You would be very surprised with how meaty the crab is, every part of it were so meaty that it's totally worth it! Needless to mention how the gravy complimented it well. Obviously, I could not help myself to have second serving of this!

 |
| Avocado with Kataifi |
 |
| Shrimp Dumpling with Crab Roe |
 |
| Shanghai Mooncake |
Something simple and decent for dessert, you could simply go for the Bubur Cha Cha, Avacado with Kataifi or Shanghai Mooncake. It was my first time to try the Avacado with Kataifi, it's kinda weird yet unique combination to me, the avocado paste totally wiped out my mind about the weirdness with it sweetness. You just can't blame me for having sweet tooth!
 |
| Shanghai Double Boiled Soup Dumplings |
There were also Shanghai Double Boiled Soup Dumpling which also known as Xiao Long Bao in Chinese cuisine. It is specially made for the Muslims, it is pork-free! Now, if you're wondering there will be lack in taste without the taste of pork, you would be quite surprised and amazed with how juicy and delicious they can be! The taste doesn't have any much different and this is totally great for those Muslim friend who being finding the halal xiao long bao in town!

| Durian Pancake |
 |
| Durian Pancake |
Last but not least, we also get to try their famous Durian Pancake! Each of these fluffy durian pancakes are made of the high quality D24 durian for the fillings. Trust me, it's really hard to resist such sinfully delicious dessert and all of us just wish to have more and more for the night!
