Buka Puasa Buffet At the Chakri Palace, Skyview, Dorsett Hotel Hartamas

In the blink of an eye , Chakri Palace is 20 Years old, its main outlet at the iconic KLCC, opening back in 1999.  It is one of two remaining F&B outlets in level 4 of Suria KLCC, an achievement indeed.

I have to say that I really admire the owners for their boldness in conquering new frontiers, and this latest venue, Chakri Palace Sky View at the rooftop of the new Dorsett Hotel Hartmas really does afford stunning vistas and views that add to the dining ambience.

For the month of Ramadhan, the theme for the buffet is TANTALIZING TASTES OF THAILAND, and will be available here, Chakri Palaces KLCC & Pavilion, starting from 13th May 2019.

The buffets are priced at RM128++ (Doresett), RM108.80++ (KLCC), RM98.80++ (Pavilion), with discounts for children between 6-10 years and senior citizens above 60.

I was particularly impressed with the Thai Salads. Mango Papaya salad with catfish featured above was crunchy and refreshing and really epitomises Thai cuisine.

My favourite Mieng Keam, fortunately when the media hordes descended like vultures after the welcome address, this dish was largely untouched at the time, giving me the opportunity to savour this lovely do it yourself salad.

The comprehensive buffet comprises a mix of Thai and Malay dishes, with the Thai Laksa standing out to me personally.  The rest of the stuff, honestly, are quite standard fare, which I didn't really get to try, but certainly a good variety for a buka puasa buffet.

Special mention for this absolutely delectable dessert, which I hope will be featured in the buffet, but if not, is probably on their ala carte menu.  Years ago, when I was a student in Australia, this Thai chap bunked with us for the summer holidays, and made the most sublime version of this dessert.  Ever since then I have been looking for this, like a long lost love, and was absolutely delighted that it was served here, and I had the good sense to head straight for that dish although it was a dessert.  Luxurious custardy melt in the mouth, with soft steamed pumpkin.
