The moment we heard that Kwee Zeen in Sofitel KL Damansara is having their Surf & Turf Extravaganza Buffet Dinner, my wife and I knew that we had to come back for it. True enough, we had a pleasurable gastronomic experience that evening.
The buffet is on every Thursday (6.30pm – 10pm) for the month of January for the price of RM138+ (adult) and RM69+ (children aged 7 to 11 years old).
The highlights of the buffet include beef tenderloin Wellington topped with prawns, London broil with chimichurri, shrimp scampi with broccoli, BBQ beef short ribs, baked navarin of chicken, gnocchi with prawns and asparagus ragout, lemon pepper cuttlefish with parsley butter, salted crust whole seabass, succulent herb spiced lamb, rotisserie chicken, Yorkshire pudding, barbecued chicken shish taouk, barbecued lamb shoulder, baked fish with harra sauce, seafood on ice such as slipper lobster, mussels, scallops, shrimps, yabbies, flower crab and many more.
Besides there main-theme highlights, the usual spread is still available too – beef and chicken sate, assorted serunding, lemang and ketupat, nasi goreng ikan masin, daging rendang “Minang”, assorted cheese, dim sum, cured meat, salad, fruits and rojak, gado-gado, lamb biryani, barbecued lamb shoulder, couscous, pasta and pizza, fruit juices, coffee and tea and many more.
We definitely enjoyed the hearty buffet spread this round, especially the fresh seafood on ice. Also, as always, my personal favourite is their dessert corner and they never disappoint to serve mouthwatering cakes and pastries there. I am deeply in love with their Caramel & Chocolate Tartlet, Red Velvet Crèmeux, Hazelnut Paris Breast Choux, Double Chocolate Brownies, Bread & Butter Chocolate Pudding and assorted macarons. Every time I return, I look forward to get these to kill my sweet tooth.

I am so glad to be invited to attend the launching of the #HGEatGoodChallenge today at Bangsar. Harvest Gourmet, Nestlé Malaysia’s plant-based food brand, is launching this campaign to advocate healthier and more sustainable diets amongst Malaysians, in collaboration with BookDoc.
Presenting Harvest Gourmet Plant-based Creations. From L-R: Qiu Wen, Indra Balaratnam, Dietitian, Geetha Balakrishna, Business Executive Officer of Food Business, Nestle (M) Berhad, Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer, Nestle (M) Berhad, Jean Ho, Business Manager, Nestle’s Harvest Gourmet, Scha Alyahya, Dini Schatzmann
Plant-based diet is getting more popular globally People from around the world are becoming more environmentally and health-conscious, which leads to an increasing number of people reducing meat consumption and embracing more plant-based diets. By offering simple and easy-to-prepare plant-based foods that does not compromise on taste, nutrition and value, Nestlé’s Harvest Gourmet offers Malaysian consumers healthier alternatives for the everyday meals they love.
The topic of plant-based food alternatives has taken centre stage at the recent 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 27), as the global food system is responsible for more than 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and 57% of these are derived from the processing of meat, dairy products and crops for animal feed. Hence, shifting to a plant-based diet is a positive action to fight against climate change.
Speaking at the media launch of the #HGEatGoodChallenge today, Mr Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad said more Malaysians are willing to improve their diets and are increasingly aware of the impact of their choices on the planet.
Mr Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad
“#HGEatGoodChallenge aims to encourage Malaysians to start an experiential journey, discovering easy ways to adopt tasty plant-based meals as part of their everyday diets. It will be a meaningful campaign to kickstart into a healthier new year, while doing good for the planet!”
enthused Mr Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad
#HGEatGoodChallenge to promote healthier lifestyle From 10 December 2022 to 8 January 2023, participants are required to register on the BookDoc health app to be able to participate in the challenge. They will then prepare and submit 15 Harvest Gourmet meals and clock up a minimum of 120,000 steps within the 30 days challenge period, to qualify for many attractive prizes. On top of that, all Challenge Finishers will receive an E-certificate by Nestlé RELeaf, as Harvest Gourmet commits to planting a new tree in 2023 for every participant who completes the challenge. Nestlé RELeaf is Nestlé Malaysia’s largest reforestation programme, aiming to plant 3 million trees by end of 2024.
Celebrities Sharing Their Plant-based Journey. From L-R: Ben Ibrahim, Emcee, Scha Alyahya, Dini Schatzmann, Qiu WenOfficial Launch of #HGEatGoodChallenge. From L-R: Qiu Wen, Geetha Balakrishna, Business Executive Officer of Food Business, Nestle (M) Berhad, Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer, Nestle (M) Berhad, Jean Ho, Business Manager, Nestle’s Harvest Gourmet Indra Balaratnam, Dietitian, Scha Alyahya, Dini Schatzmann
Support from local celebrity influencers and F&B partners Local Celebrity influencers Scha Alyahya, Dini Schatzmann and Qiu Wen were present to share their experiences of integrating plant-based meals in their diets and its positive impact on their lives. The event also showcased the other collaborators of the #HGEatGoodChallenge comprising F&B partners such as Epic Food Hall, KyoChon, Uncle Bob Sabah, Sheraton KL, EQ Hotel and others who will provide Nestlé’s Harvest Gourmet meal options at their restaurants for participants during the challenge period. Also present at the launch event was Mr Raj Kumar R G Sheth, President of the Malaysian Vegetarian Society, which will be focusing on outreach and raising awareness on plant-based eating.
Dietitian Indra creating a Harvest Gourmet plant-based recipe.
Insight sharing by consultant dietitian “Nutrition is one of the elements of the wellness spectrum. However, most of us neglect having balanced meals due to our busy lifestyles and lack of discipline. Statistics show that 1 in 2 adults are overweight or obese, 3 in 10 adults have high blood pressure; and heart disease remains the top killer of Malaysians 1. It is well proven that eating a diet abundant of plant-based foods positively benefits our health by lowering the risk of developing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, and increasing life expectancy,”
said Ms Indra Balaratnam, consultant dietitian
Cooking demonstration using Nestlé’s Harvest Gourmet products Indra curated two simple and delicious recipes using Nestlé’s Harvest Gourmet for the challenge, which she demo-cooked at the event. The Spicy Gochujang Honey Glazed Harvest Gourmet Nuggets and Spiced Harvest Gourmet Mince with Green Peas will both be part of the 15 plant-based meal inspirations made available for participants during the #HGEatGoodChallenge.
