If there’s one thing I look forward to during this special season, it’s indulging in the comforting flavours of traditional Malaysian cuisine. This year, I had the pleasure of experiencing Santapan Senja at Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and it was truly a feast worth sharing.
From 28 February to 30 March 2025, Traders Hotel brings back Santapan Senja, offering two distinct dining experiences—a lavish buffet at Gobo Chit Chat and a refined three-course set dinner at Bara On Six. Both options celebrate classic flavours, crafted with care to evoke nostalgia while creating new memories with loved ones.
Santapan Senja Buffet Dinner at Gobo Chit Chat
Walking into Gobo Chit Chat, I was immediately drawn to the enticing aroma of slow-roasted whole lamb—succulent and perfectly seasoned. The mee bandung with lobster was a standout, packed with rich, umami goodness, while the seafood bakar daun pisang delivered that unmistakable grilled smokiness, enhancing the freshness of the seafood.
Other must-try dishes included the siput sedut masak lemak, creamy and bursting with flavour, and the fish head curry, which had just the right balance of spice and tanginess. Of course, I couldn’t leave without trying the asam pedas Melaka, a true comfort dish with its bold, spicy-sour profile. The buffet also featured fresh coconut for a refreshing touch, and an array of desserts to end the night on a sweet note.

Santapan Senja 3-Course Set Dinner at Bara On Six
For those seeking an intimate dining experience, the Santapan Senja Set Dinner at Bara On Six is the perfect choice. The meal begins with an all-you-can-eat appetizers spread, featuring delicious kerabu and comforting bubur lambuk.
For the main course, diners can choose between the grilled seabass with nasi tomato—light yet flavourful, or the roasted lamb rack with nasi tomato, which was incredibly tender and juicy. To round off the meal, the fluffy banana sponge cake with gula Melaka ice cream was a delightful treat, balancing sweetness and texture beautifully.

Price: RM108 per person
