This Ramadan, embark on a culinary journey in Putrajaya with “Destinasi Rasa: Eksplorasi Citarasa Tempatan dan Antarabangsa.”
Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of Malaysia and beyond, Le Meridien Putrajaya’s chefs have crafted a buffet menu that takes you through a sensory exploration of diverse tastes, textures and aromas.
Kick things off with Umai Sarawak, a dish featuring raw fish – typically mackerel – marinated in a tangy blend of lime juice, chillies and spices.
This zesty appetiser reflects the coastal flavours of Sarawak, showcasing the region’s tradition of serving fresh, raw seafood with a perfect balance of sharp, citrusy and spicy notes.
Gulai Kawah is a rich slow-cooked curry featuring a choice of chicken, mutton, beef or fish.
The dish is infused with aromatic herbs, spices and coconut milk, creating a creamy, flavourful gravy that pairs beautifully with steamed rice.
Another highlight is local snack cempedak goreng, with the ripe fruit coated in a golden, crispy batter and deep-fried.
Fried Radish Cake (or chai tow kway) – stir-fried cubes of radish cake, eggs and chives, seasoned with soy sauce – is a classic dish that’s not to be missed.
Pasembor, meanwhile, features a medley of fresh vegetables, fried tofu and prawn fritters dressed in a sweet and spicy peanut sauce.
This dish is often paired with Mee Rebus – noodles served in a thick, flavourful gravy made from tamarind, turmeric and other aromatic spices.
There is also Laksa Buyung – a spicy noodle soup originating from southern Malaysia.
The bold and aromatic dish features chewy noodles immersed in a fragrant broth made from tamarind, herbs and seafood. Its strong, tangy flavour profile is complemented by the heat of fresh chillies.
The buffet at Latest Recipe is priced at RM208nett per adult and RM104nett per child.
Early bird vouchers are available until March 2, at RM178nett per adult and RM89nett per child.
