Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara

Raya celebrations are best enjoyed with great company and, of course, an unforgettable feast! This year, I had the pleasure of buka puasa at Kwee Zeen in Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara, where the Destinasi Rasa Serantau buffet dinner brings a spread of over 120 mouthwatering dishes that truly celebrate Malaysia’s diverse flavours.

A Grand Iftar Experience
From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant LIVE stalls and the aromatic scent of traditional dishes set the perfect mood. What stood out was the unique “Seven Flavours of Malaysia” concept, highlighting specialties from different states. My top picks?

Ketupat Sotong Gula Aren (Kelantan) – Tender squid stuffed with glutinous rice, bathed in a luscious palm sugar sauce.
Udang Galah Masak Diraja (Pahang) – Freshwater prawns in a rich, flavourful royal curry.
Nasi Biryani Sunquick Berlauk (Johor) – Fragrant biryani with a sweet citrus twist.
Kambing Golek Nusantara (Selangor) – Juicy, slow-roasted lamb infused with traditional spices.
Asam Pedas Ekor Lembu (Melaka) – A tangy, spicy oxtail dish that’s a must-try.
Mee Udang Harimau (Penang) – Prawns and noodles in a savoury, robust broth.
Kerabu Scallop & Oyster Goreng (Perak) – A refreshing seafood delight.

The Ultimate Sambal and Durian Experience
One highlight for me was the House of Sambals, featuring bold flavours like Sambal Hitam Nyiru Belimbing Buluh and Sambal Totok—each adding an extra kick to my meal. And for durian lovers, the Durian Warong served fresh durians daily, making it the perfect way to end the night.
