This Ramadan, Hilton Garden Inn Kuala Lumpur invites diners to gather around the table for a comforting taste of tradition. Through its Selera Nostalgia buffet, the hotel brings classic Malaysian flavours into the spotlight, evoking the warmth and familiarity of home-cooked meals.
We were lucky enough to sample the spread ourselves to see whether it truly lives up to its price tag.
Seafood Fridays, Lamb Saturdays & Beef Sundays
What makes this buffet especially enticing is its thoughtfully curated menu, which changes daily throughout the holy month.
Available only three days a week, Hilton Garden Inn KL features a specific highlight for each buffet day.
Fridays: Seafood takes centre stage
Every Friday, seafood becomes the main attraction. Diners can expect dishes such as Siakap Bakar Bonda Klasik, Kerabu Soohoon Sotong, Ikan Tenggiri Sambal Lada, and Ketam Bunga Curry Buttermilk.

We tried the Ikan Tenggiri Sambal Lada, pairing it with fluffy white rice. The dish carried a noticeable kick of spice without being overwhelming. As for the Ketam Bunga Curry Buttermilk, it was rich and flavourful, with generous portions of sweet crab meat.

Saturdays: A feast for lamb lovers
Saturdays are reserved for those who enjoy lamb-based dishes. Highlights include Kambing Bakar Tradisi Nenek, Kerabu Kambing, Kambing Masak Kuzi, and Sup Tulang Kambing.

We highly recommend the Sup Tulang Kambing, which is packed with flavour and comes with chunks of tender lamb, making it both comforting and filling. Another must-try is the Kambing Masak Kuzi, which was incredibly tender. Paired with steamed white rice, the aromatic kuzi gravy truly hit the spot.

Sundays: Highlights for beef fans
Sundays are dedicated to beef lovers, with standout dishes such as Daging Lembu Nostalgia, Kerabu Daging, Daging Masak Dendeng, and Daging Masak Briyani.

Our favourite among the beef offerings was undoubtedly the Daging Masak Dendeng. The dish delivers a perfect balance of spicy and slightly sweet flavours, complemented by tender slices of beef. Paired with lemang, it’s a combination we’d happily return for.

We also sampled the Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce. The satay was well-seasoned, with juicy pieces of chicken and just enough fat for balance. The peanut sauce leaned slightly sweet but was nonetheless rich and flavourful.
Classic desserts & refreshing drinks

Staying true to its nostalgic theme, the dessert spread features timeless local favourites. Highlights include dodol, sago gula Melaka, and traditional kuih such as seri muka and kaswi gula merah.
To quench your thirst, the Lychee Mint Cooler is a must-try. The sparkling beverage, accented with mint, offers a refreshing finish, especially after a long day of fasting. For those who prefer more classic drinks, options like Apple Asam Boi and Sirap Bandung are also available, alongside hot beverages such as Teh Tarik and Nescafé Tarik.
