Hyatt Regency at Midtown - Sajian Rantau & Serambi Arabia Ramadan Buffet

If there’s one thing you should never challenge me on, it’s my ability to sniff out a good buffet. I have a sixth sense for it. And kengkawan… Hyatt Regency’s Midtown Brasserie just activated all of it. Loudly. With lamb. WIN!


I dropped by Midtown Brasserie recently for their inaugural Sajian Rantau & Serambi Arabia Buffet and let me tell you this is not your biasa-biasa hotel buffet where you do one round and pretend you’re full. This is a full-blown culinary marathon that requires strategy, stretchy pants, and a strong will to not skip dessert (spoiler: you won’t).

Running from 19 February to 19 March 2026, this buffet is basically a love letter between Malaysian flavours and Middle Eastern cuisine. A beautiful, delicious collision. Think sambal meets spices, rendang meets rosemary and your plate meeting its limits.

Behind the scenes - this gastronomic madness is led by Head Chef Jordan Mah, who decided to assemble the Avengers of Malay banquet cooking. Enter Chef Ayub, the maestro from Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, alongside Midtown Brasserie’s very own Malay culinary expert, Chef Faiz. Three’s a charm people say. Three chefs, one buffet, and over 100 dishes across seven live and curated stations. Yes, I counted. Okay, maybe I stopped counting after dessert. Hiks.



Let’s talk highlights because there were MANY.

First of all, the Global Fire Grill & BBQ station. This section alone deserves a standing ovation. The grill was done right-meats cooked to order, juicy, smoky, and dangerously addictive. I loved this idea because you actually get freshly grilled goodness instead of sad, overcooked trays. Everything I tried here? Solid. No regrets. Zero.

Then there was Mapas Fish-a dish totally new to me. And you know me, I get excited when I see something unfamiliar. One bite in, I was sold. In fact, I went back for a second round, which is my highest form of compliment. If you see me revisiting a dish at a buffet, it means business. BIG Business.


Another unexpected joy? The array of salami cuts. I mean… at a buffet like this? Fancy. I couldn’t help but wonder-do they serve this during breakfast too? Because if yes, I might just move in. Just kidding, or may be not. Hemmm…

Of course, the showstoppers were present and accounted for. The Arabic Spiced Lamb Kuzi, marinated for two full days and slow-roasted till tender, was rich, fragrant and perfect with a bit of rice (or a lot, no judgement). The Rendang Daging made with beef was next-level indulgence - soft, flavourful and cooked with serious intention. Seafood lovers, don’t worry-the Braised Seafood Selection had your back.

The live stations kept things exciting-from the Malaysian Kitchen & Live Wok, to the Carving & Shawarma Stage, the Noodle Theatre and the dangerously tempting Golden Fry section (crispy things are my weakness).



Now… dessert.
Actually, let me say it properly.

Gelato. They have gelato. Enough said.

Okay fine, I’ll elaborate. There’s a full dessert wonderland here-Turkish delights, cakes, warm and chilled sweets, and a live gelato and sorbet bar that made my inner child extremely happy. But the real nostalgic star? The live Lempeng Pisang station. Freshly griddled banana pancakes with grated coconut, banana slices and gula Melaka syrup. I almost cried. Almost.

Pricing-wise, here’s the smart move: Early Bird at RM148+ per person if you book before 15 February 2026. Regular prices range from RM178+ to RM198+, depending on the dates. Trust me, this buffet is worth planning ahead for-especially for group dinners, family gatherings, or when you just want to reward yourself for surviving adulthood.


Final verdict from this ME?

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to loosen your belt.
This isn’t just a buffet-it’s an experience. Probably for the Mapas Fish. And the gelato. And the grill. Okay, everything. Thank you Hyatt Regency’s Midtown Brasserie.

Citarasa Antara Benua Ramadan Buffet at The Pearl Kuala Lumpur

Alright, babes. Buckle up, loosen your fasting pants (mentally), and let me take you on a food journey that made me count down to Ramadan like it’s Raya Eve.

Hi, Lily Riani Travelholic here - a professional makan enthusiast, part-time buffet stalker, and full-time lover of good food that hits you right in the soul. Recently, I had the pleasure (and slight food coma) of previewing “Citarasa Antara Benua” at The Pearl Kuala Lumpur and let me just say… this is not your biasa-biasa Ramadan buffet.

From 21 February to 17 March 2026, The Pearl KL is serving a full-on culinary passport without you needing to renew your actual passport (thank God). The theme, Citarasa Antara Benua, literally means flavours across continents-and yes, they understood the assignment. This buffet explores tastes from Malaysia, Thailand, China, India, Korea, Japan, Spain and Italy, all under one roof. Basically, buka puasa world tour.

Let’s start with what made me audibly gasp: Lemang Kacang Hijau with Rendang Tok. Okay listen - this dish deserves a slow clap. The lemang is creamy and comforting (sedap giler) with that subtle coconut milk richness that hugs your tongue nicely. Then comes the Rendang Tok - a thick, dark, intense and packed with herbs and spices like it trained in flavour bootcamp or something. Every bite is earty, aromatic and deeply satisfying. This dish alone made me excited for Ramadan. Like… where have you been all my life excited.



Next up, crowd favourite and forever MVP: Kambing Golek. Or as we Malays lovingly call it – “that lamb everyone queues for”.
Smoky aroma? Check.
Tender meat that falls apart? Double check.
Deep, well-marinated flavour that doesn’t smell “kambing”? Triple check.
Honestly, this is the kind of lamb that converts non-lamb eaters. I saw grown adults guarding their plates like precious artifacts. Respect.

And then-cue dramatic pause-The Pearl Kuala Lumpur Chicken Briyani Rice. Guys. Sumpah sedap tak tipu. The rice is fragrant, fluffy, and perfectly spiced, not overpowered or oily. The chicken is juicy and well-seasoned and when you mix everything together with the accompanying gravies? Chef’s kiss. Clear winner for me. I went back for seconds. No shame.



But wait, there’s more (and yes, I ate everything. Almost). Over 100 special local dishes are prepared by their talented chef team. Think Ulam-Ulaman Kampung, Special Bubur Lambuk, Satay Kajang, Maggi Tomyam Gong Thai-style, Special Lemang and more classic Malay comfort food that makes you feel like balik kampung-even if your kampung is actually a condo.

The Grilled Corner deserves its own fan club. Apart from Kambing Golek, there’s roasted chicken, sausages, and grilled fish like Cencaru, Tilapia and Selar, paired with sauces such as Tamarind, Soy Chili, Mushroom or Black Pepper. Pick your fighter.

Desserts? Oh honey. Banana Coconut Pancake stall, traditional kuih-muih, cakes, puddings, nostalgic cookies, Ais Kacang and ice cream galore. I tried to “just sample”. That was a lie.


Bonus points: grab the early bird vouchers, because with every adult and senior citizen purchase, you stand a chance to win prizes via their lucky draw. Winners will be announced live on 19 March 2026 through their social media-makan and maybe menang? Yes please.

Final verdict from Lily Riani Travelholic:
This buffet isn’t just about food. It’s about experience, nostalgia and discovering flavours from around the world while breaking fast together. The Pearl Kuala Lumpur really understood the Ramadan vibe-hearty, generous, comforting and memorable.


See you at the buffet line. I’ll be the one going for round three (my briyani).

My First Time on MV Piano Land Cruise (from Port Klang, Malaysia)

This isn’t my first cruise. Not my second either. I’ve cruised enough times to know the drill: unpack once, overeat daily, lose track of time, repeat. So when I stepped onboard MV Piano Land at Port Klang on 1 December 2025, it wasn’t starry-eyed first-timer excitement. It was more like seasoned curiosity. This was my very first time on Piano Land, and judging by the welcome alone, I had a strong feeling it was going to be a fun ride. The good kind of fun. The kind where everything feels smooth, well-planned, and slightly dangerous to your waistline.


The arrival itself already felt special. There were cultural performances, big smiles, and that unmistakable Malaysian warmth where everyone looks genuinely happy to have you there. It didn’t feel stiff or overly formal, more like a proud celebration. MV Piano Land wasn’t just docking; it was being properly welcomed. And honestly, first impressions matter. This one passed with flying colours.

This sailing marked the official start of MV Piano Land’s homeport operations in Malaysia, which is a big deal for anyone who loves easy holidays. No long-haul flights, no airport chaos overseas. Just drive to Port Klang, board the ship, and suddenly your holiday has started. This whole setup is a collaboration between Hwajing Travel & Tours, Tourism Malaysia, port authorities, and industry players who clearly understand that convenience is king.


There were proper ceremonies too—flag raisings, plaque exchanges, important people in smart outfits. Maritime traditions were honoured, photos were taken, hands were shaken. It all symbolised a long-term partnership and Malaysia’s growing role as a cruise hub in the region. Serious stuff, but done in a way that still felt celebratory rather than stiff.

Now, let’s talk about the ship itself. MV Piano Land has history. It was once a European classic cruise ship, even named by Queen Elizabeth II. These days, it has been refreshed under China’s cruise development, blending old-school elegance with Asian hospitality. Translation: it looks classy but feels welcoming. You don’t feel underdressed walking around, but you also don’t feel like you need to whisper.



From end November to Christmas 2025, the ship sails from Port Klang to Penang and Langkawi, carrying over 1,700 passengers each trip. Having Port Klang as a homeport makes cruising suddenly feel very doable, especially for Malaysians. No passport stress, no jet lag. Just show up and sail.

Life onboard is where the cruise really shines. There’s always something happening—shows, live music, games, activities for kids, teens, adults, and people like me who say they’ll join activities but somehow end up at the cafĂ© instead. The theatre performances are surprisingly impressive, evenings are lively, and days can be as packed or as lazy as you want them to be. No pressure, no FOMO, just vibes.

Food deserves its own moment. MV Piano Land is fully halal-certified, with all kitchens and equipment properly sertu. For Muslim travellers, this is huge. No guessing games, no awkward questions, just eat in peace. And eat we did. Asian dishes, international options, buffets that test your self-control. Everything halal, everything comforting, everything slightly encouraging you to go back for “just one more.”



After all that eating and exploring, the cabins feel like a reward. The beds are ridiculously comfortable. Combine that with the gentle rocking of the ship and suddenly you’re sleeping better than you do at home. There’s something about being lulled by the sea that knocks you out in the best way possible.

One of the highlights of the itinerary is the stop in Penang. You get about six hours, which is enough if you plan wisely. Penang Hill for the views, George Town for the food, street art for the photos. Eat fast, walk efficiently, and always watch the time. Missing the ship is not the kind of drama you want on holiday.

Beyond the fun, MV Piano Land’s presence is a big boost for Malaysia’s tourism scene, especially with Visit Malaysia Year 2026 coming up. It brings in visitors, creates jobs, and shows that cruising doesn’t have to be exclusive or complicated. It can be family-friendly, Muslim-friendly, and very approachable.


For me, after cruising umpteen times, Piano Land still managed to surprise me—in a good way. It feels like cruising, but localised, thoughtful, and easy. And as the ship sailed out of Port Klang, I knew one thing for sure: this first time on Piano Land definitely won’t be my last.

Turkey, Lamb and Yummy Desserts: Christmas Food Heaven at M Resort Hotel PJ

If you’ve been around my blog long enough, you’ll know I’m a sucker for anything merry let it be lights, sparkles, food, food and… more food (you know where this is going, right). So when Miera invited me as her plus one to check out M Resort Hotel Petaling Jaya Christmas buffet spread at their Fairway Coffee House, I didn’t even pretend to think twice. Santa hasn’t even warmed up the sleigh yet, but my makan mood? Fully activated (me when it comes to food ‘wink’).


Walking into Fairway Coffee House honestly felt like stepping into a Christmas postcard, minus the snow of course (eyes rolling) because, hello, we are in Malaysia (eyes just did a back flip). But the ambience? On point. Warm lights, happy people, and that faint whiff of roasted something-something that gets your stomach waking up. Whether you’re coming with your makan gang, colleagues who pretend they don’t eat much (absolute lies!), or family members who skip lunch “to make space”, the whole vibe just screams, “Okay guys, Christmas mode ONZZZ.”


Let’s get real, us Malaysians love Christmas but we love-love Christmas FOOD even MORE. And Fairway Coffee House clearly understood the assignment because their Christmas Eve spread is basically a culinary parade. I walked in thinking I’d just “take a look” first. Spoiler: I lied. Titik.

The superstar: Roasted Turkey complete with all the trimmings. I’m talking stuffing, gravy, sauce ie. the whole works. Now, I know turkey can sometimes taste like cardboard if done wrongly, but this one? Moist, flavourful and I may just eaten more than one plate. Don’t judge please.



Next to it, the Red Ribbon Bone-In Ribeye was calling out to me like, “Lily… come laaaa...”. And then, as if that wasn’t enough, there’s the Roasted Whole Lamb Leg with Roasted Root Vegetables. If you’re a lamb lover, this will make you tear up a little. I’m not saying I got emotional, but I’m also not denying it.
 
Oh yah…. My baby carrot get a special mention. IYKYK – hint to Miera.
 
Sambung – there’s also Lamb Navarin, Classic Beef Stroganoff, Creamed Spinach Salmon and the Traditional Shepherd’s Pie. I don’t know who curated this list but they clearly believe in feeding people (us) properly.
 
No Christmas Eve dinner is complete without desserts, and this buffet’s dessert counter… whew. Let’s just say if Santa went missing, you could probably find him here sneaking bites.



Chocolate Logs, gorgeous Entremets, cute little Petit Gateaux, Tarts, basically every fancy sweet treat you’ve seen on gram but can actually touch and eat. And then you have the nostalgic Christmassy stuff: Marzipan Stollen, Panettone, Cookies, Bread Pudding with Creme Anglaise. Warm, sweet, comforting.
 
At this point, I told myself I’d “just taste a bit”. Again… lies.
 
One thing I love about Malaysian buffets? Even when celebrating snow, reindeer and Santa, we MUST have our Asian staples. And M Resort delivered.
 
There’s Malay, Indian, and Chinese selections — everything from curries to biryanis to noodles to stir-fry. Then there’s the Japanese section where the sushi and sashimi look way too tempting to ignore. And yes, there’s grilled seafood too, just in case you needed an excuse to get another plate.



Basically, if your family is like mine where everyone wants something different, this buffet covers all arguments. No one leaves unhappy.
 
There’s also a spread of local dishes, just because.... And of course - more desserts. At this point, I accepted that on Christmas weekend it’ll be 90% eating, 10% pretending I would go to the gym after.
 
M Resort Hotel really nailed the festive vibes this year. The Christmas Eve buffet feels indulgent, warm and wonderfully Christmassy.

If you’re planning a festive gathering — family, friends, office or even a self-love solo makan date (no judgment!) — Fairway Coffee House is definitely worth checking out. Come hungry, wear comfy pants, and remember: calories consumed during Christmas don’t count.

A Ramadhan Feast You Won’t Forget : M Resort and Hotel Kuala Lumpur:

The holy month of Ramadhan is a special time for reflection, family gatherings, and of course, feasting! And when it comes to breaking your fast in style, M Resort and Hotel Kuala Lumpur has always been my go-to destination. Their yearly Ramadhan spread never fails to surprise me, and this year is no exception. With their 2025 Ramadhan offerings, it’s safe to say they’ve outdone themselves once again!

Ayam Golek

Before diving into the food, let’s take a moment to appreciate the charm of M Resort and Hotel. Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, this contemporary hotel blends modern luxury with warm hospitality. Whether you’re staying the night or visiting for a meal, you’ll be greeted by elegant decor, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that’s perfect for celebrating special occasions, like Ramadhan. Their commitment to quality and attention to detail is evident, and this shines brightest during their Ramadhan festivities.


A Delicious Food
Every year, M Resort's Ramadhan spread is something I eagerly anticipate. It’s a true celebration of traditional Malay delicacies with a few exciting twists, and 2025 is no different. From the moment I step into their dining hall, the aroma of spices and freshly prepared dishes fills the air, making it impossible not to salivate. The variety is vast, and as always, everything is cooked to perfection, making it a worthwhile experience every single time.

Jantung Pisang Masak Lemak Putih

Udang Sambal Lemak Tempoyak Petai

This year, M Resort’s Ramadhan buffet includes an incredible selection of local and international flavors. I can always count on them to surprise me with new items, but they also stick to the classics that I love. From the rich Udang Sambal Lemak Tempoyak Petai to the perfectly cooked Jantung Pisang Masak Lemak Putih, each dish carries its own unique flavors and textures that transport me straight to a home-cooked meal. 

Butter Prawn

As much as I love all the dishes, one of the standout stations for me is their Nasi Campur section. I’ve had nasi campur at many places, but M Resort’s version is simply one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The rice is fluffy and perfectly cooked, and it’s complemented by a variety of side dishes and condiments that make each bite an explosion of flavor. You can’t leave without trying it!

Chinese Section

Japanese Section

What sets M Resort’s Ramadhan spread apart is the delightful surprise of their Chinese and Japanese food stations. After indulging in the rich, flavorful Malay dishes (the makanan berlemak we all love), the refreshing lightness of the sushi and dim sum are the perfect palate cleansers. This combination of flavors creates a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience that never gets boring!

Bread Butter Pudding

Kuih-muih


Desserts Galore
M Resort is also known for their impressive dessert spread, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s honestly the highlight of the meal! Their bread butter pudding is my absolute favorite. Soft, rich, and absolutely divine, it’s the perfect way to end the meal. But that's not all—there's a wide range of traditional Malay sweets and other desserts that cater to every sweet tooth.

Revisiting the Wonder Years at P. Ramlee Memorial House

 If you’re ever in Kuala Lumpur and feel like taking a trip down memory lane, let me tell you about a little gem tucked away in Setapak – the P. Ramlee Memorial House. Walking into this place feels like stepping into a time machine set to the golden era of Malaysian entertainment. It’s nostalgic, heartwarming, and a beautiful tribute to the man who brought so much joy to the nation.  


For those who grew up humming his Getaran Jiwa or laughing along to the antics in Bujang Lapok, this house is a treasure trove of memories.


Stepping into Nostalgia  
As I approached the modest kampung-style house, I couldn’t help but smile. It’s simple yet charming, much like the man himself. Inside, you’ll find rooms filled with memorabilia—his personal belongings, photos, movie posters, musical instruments, and even a replica of his awards cabinet.  


Standing in his workspace, I felt a strange mix of awe and warmth. This is where the magic happened—where ideas for his iconic movies and songs were born. I swear I could almost hear him humming a tune in the background (or maybe that was just my overactive imagination).  


The Legacy of P. Ramlee  
P. Ramlee wasn’t just a singer, actor, or director; he was the entertainer of his time. His movies, like Ibu Mertua Ku (Kassim Selamat, siapa boleh lupa kan) and Seniman Bujang Lapok, are still aired on TV, keeping Malaysians glued to their screens even decades later. And his songs? Timeless. Who hasn’t sung along to Bila Larut Malam or danced to Azizah at least once?  


Here’s the thing about P. Ramlee: he had this uncanny ability to blend humour, heart, and hard-hitting social commentary. His movies weren’t just funny; they were smart. He poked fun at societal norms, tackled issues like poverty and family, and still managed to make you laugh until your stomach hurt.  


I remember my dad saying, “P. Ramlee didn’t just entertain us; he taught us about life.” And honestly, after rewatching Tiga Abdul for the umpteenth time, I have to agree.  


Why Malaysians Love Him  
Why do Malaysians still adore P. Ramlee after all these years? Because he wasn’t just a star; he was one of us. His stories, his characters, his struggles—they were relatable. He celebrated the quirks of Malaysian life, from the nosy neighbour to the strict father-in-law, in a way that made us laugh and cry at the same time.  

Even in his songs, there’s this raw emotion that tugs at your heartstrings. He didn’t just sing; he poured his soul into every note.  


And let’s not forget his humour. Malaysians love a good laugh, and P. Ramlee delivered that in spades. His slapstick comedy, witty one-liners, and perfectly timed jokes are still unmatched. I mean, who else could make a simple scene about buying a keris so ridiculously funny?  


Why You Should Visit  
The P. Ramlee Memorial House isn’t just a museum; it’s a time capsule. It’s a reminder of a simpler time when black-and-white movies brought families together, and a song could make your whole day better.  

Walking through the house, you’ll feel an overwhelming sense of pride for this man who gave so much to Malaysian culture. And trust me, by the time you leave, you’ll probably be humming one of his songs (don’t say I didn’t warn you).  


Why we Malaysian loves him
P. Ramlee wasn’t just a legend; he was—and still is—a part of who we are as Malaysians. His work continues to bring joy, laughter, and even a few tears to audiences of all ages. Visiting the P. Ramlee Memorial House reminded me of why he holds such a special place in our hearts.  


So, if you’re ever in KL, go check it out. Rekindle those wonder years, laugh a little, maybe tear up a bit, and take a moment to celebrate the man who made us all proud to be Malaysian.

A day at the Royal Selangor School of Hard Knocks


Have you ever wanted to try your hand at something creative and fun while learning a bit of history? Well, the Royal Selangor School of Hard Knocks is just the place for you! Located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this unique workshop lets you dive into the fascinating world of pewter crafting. If you're curious about how shiny, intricate pewter items are made or want a memorable hands-on experience, read on—I’ll take you through my unforgettable day there.



Starting the Day with a Tour
Before the workshop, we went on a guided tour of the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre, and wow, what a treat it was! The tour kicked off with a walk through the Pewter Museum, where we learned about pewter’s rich history. Did you know Royal Selangor started way back in 1885 as a small family business? Today, it’s one of the world’s most renowned pewter brands.


The museum showcased some jaw-dropping artifacts, like an enormous beer mug that holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest pewter tankard. There were also intricate pewter tea sets, jewelry, and figurines that left us marveling at the craftsmanship. It was fascinating to see how a simple alloy of tin, antimony, and copper could be transformed into such stunning pieces.


Behind the Scenes: The Pewter Factory
The next part of the tour took us into the pewter factory, where the real magic happens. Watching the artisans at work was mesmerizing. Each step of the process was laid out for us:


1. Casting : Molten pewter is poured into molds to form basic shapes.  
2. Polishing : The raw pieces are buffed to achieve that iconic, silvery sheen.  
3. Hammering : This is where patterns and textures are added using traditional hand tools.  
4. Engraving : Some items are personalized or adorned with intricate designs.  


It’s a mix of old-school craftsmanship and modern techniques, with every step done with precision and care. Seeing the artisans' dedication gave me a whole new appreciation for the pewter items I’d taken for granted before.

The School of Hard Knocks Workshop
After the tour, it was time to roll up our sleeves and get to work at the School of Hard Knocks. The workshop is designed for beginners, so no need to worry if you’ve never touched a hammer before (I hadn’t either!). Each of us was given a flat pewter disc, a wooden mold, and a mallet. The task? To transform the disc into a simple bowl—sounds easy, right? Well, not exactly.


Under the guidance of a friendly instructor, we started hammering away. It was oddly therapeutic to hear the rhythmic clinking of mallets against pewter. There were some wonky edges and uneven surfaces, but that’s what made each bowl unique and personal. By the end of the session, I had a slightly lopsided but charming little bowl, complete with my initials stamped on it.

What I loved most about the workshop was how it connected me to the artistry and effort behind pewter-making. I left with more than just a souvenir—I walked away with a new appreciation for this centuries-old craft.


Why You Should Try It
Attending the School of Hard Knocks isn’t just about making a bowl; it’s about the whole experience. Here’s why I think everyone should give it a go:

- Hands-On Fun : It’s rare to get the chance to create something with your own hands in today’s digital world.  
- Educational : You learn about pewter, its history, and the artistry that goes into making it.  


- Memorable Souvenir : The bowl you make is one-of-a-kind, and it’s a keepsake you’ll treasure.  
- Family-Friendly : Kids and adults alike will enjoy the workshop, making it a great activity for families.  


The Versatility of Pewter
Before this visit, I never realized how versatile pewter is. Royal Selangor produces an impressive range of household items, from elegant wine goblets and tea sets to decorative items like photo frames and figurines. Some of their limited-edition collections are nothing short of art—one of my favorites was a chess set with intricately carved pewter pieces.


Wrapping Up
The Royal Selangor School of Hard Knocks is more than just a workshop—it’s an experience that blends creativity, history, and fun. Whether you’re a tourist looking for a unique activity in Kuala Lumpur or a local wanting to explore something new, this place is a must-visit. 

You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind pewter items, a cool handmade bowl, and a big smile on your face. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a mallet and let’s get hammering!
