It will be a gastronomic experience where guests will reminiscent mum's recipe of best Malay dishes.  Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, with a month-long tradition of fasting practice as a sign of devotion and soul cleansing.

 Thai Green Curry Duck
I love Thai green curry, a dish I would normally order whenever I dine at Thai Restaurants. Well, here, this is a dish that over whelms me as it comes with a twist of duck meat! So, definitely a must have for duck meat lovers and also green curry lovers. Perfect combination! The duck meat is cooked to the right soft texture and the curry is thick and creamy, yummy!

 Indian Style Chicken Masala

As a foodie at heart, taste and texture of meat is of utmost importance to me. I have eaten Chicken Masala at other places where the meat is tough and bland. Well, this dish passed the mark of my fussy tongue and teeth, as the flavours has infused into the chicken meat and meat is cooked till soft and tender.
Another dish I enjoyed very much is Dawood Basha (Arabic Lamb Ball). The lamb meat balls are of right consistency in mixture and texture. Heavenly when eaten with the Briyani Rice!





Staying true to traditional bazaar style of Ramadan open evening markets, Berjaya Times Square Hotel Kuala Lumpur here has set up rows of stalls just at the entrance to the Big Apple Restaurant.


Wow-Soup stall: Oxtail, Beef, Bones, Gizzards and assortment of condiments (spring onions, fried shallots, parsley, lime, spring onions) 

Some of the food at the from the 18 Stalls that can wet your appetite are Kari Kepala Ikan Citarsa Bonda, Nasi Lemak Lobster Tersohor, Kambing Golek PenawarRindu, Lempeng Pisang Kelapa Bidara, Rendang Daging Khatulistiwa, Aneka Sup Serantau, Otak-Otak Dibuai Rasa, Pisang Goreng Keju Makmur and Sous Vide Burger Nusantara.

Desserts
The desserts are well crafted and with many local spread of assorted Malay Kuih and cookies. Some of the desserts served are Mango Charlotte, Pandan Chiffon Cheese Cake, Chocolate Brownies, Fruit Flan, Mixed Berry Panna Cotta, Agar-agar santan and kacang hijau, red velvet cake,almond Financier cake and Pudding Caramel and selection of dates that is synonymous of fasting month. While the savoury dishes are indeed a notch higher, the same can't be said for the desserts. But of course, desserts are appealing to those with a sweet tooth.

 Seasonal Fruits

It is said that sour-sop fruit can help cure cancer and jack fruit is full of nutrients, so here they are, all in my plate including cempedak, guava and longan. Nowadays, the weather is so hot in Kuala Lumpur, therefore, watermelon and mangosteens are the two cooling fruits that can also quench our thirst.

My choice of food? The roasted lamb of course, and all no frills roasted lamb. But don't judge a book by its cover, the meat was so mouth watering good as it was well seasoned and roasted to perfection! Of course, as Malaysians, meat have to go with rice, so roasted lamb eaten with nasi briyani gives just the right combination of an unforgettable buffet dinner. 

Roasted Lamb slices with Briyani Rice and Lobster Sambal. My Fave!

My another regular choice of food whenever I eat at buffet - Grilled fish ikan kembong and Otak-Otak. Lobster sambal is a must eat here  as this is the first time I had a local sambal lobster! Normally I usually had lobster cooked with cheese. Grilled food are healthy food as it contains less oil, and seals in the moisture and flavour of the meat especially when it is grilled wraped in bananal leaves.
