The best time of the year is here again! Ramadhan! Why is it the best?

Typo lah... "Sebrinah Yeo" ehehhehe

Simply because I love how the variety of local Malaysian cuisines, some traditional and some modernized, comes together to break fast during Ramadhan.

Today I have my chance to experience #Bismillah Buka Puasa Feast @ Citra Rasa, Dorsett Putrajaya.



With over 500 truly Malaysian and International fare prepared by the Executive Chef, Chef Shamsul Rizal and his team; A sumptuous spread of authentic "kampung style" delicacies & live-cooking hawker stall will be offered throughout Ramadhan from 18th May - 13th June 2018.



Today I get to enjoy most of their specialty! Such as the Durian buffet, the succulent, sweet and tender barbecued venison meat, the beautiful spread of cakes, jelly & desserts and the amazing display of Kurma to break fast with.



Let's not forget the yummy local Malaysia delights, the Ulam, Pucuk Ubi Masak Lemak, Patin Tempoyak, Kerutup Daging, Udang Galah Percik, Kuih Bahulu Tradisi, Nasi Kerabu, Laksam Kelantan, Pulut Pisang and just so much more!



They had Cream Mushroom soup that was really rich and flavorful, buns, Quesadillas and Kebabs that I requested, for non-spicy for the kids (and me lolz); Oh! There's also a range of yummy snacks that me and my kids were pretty excited about!



They have a few choices of beverages too! And it matches really well with these yummy dishes. Like the cincau, lemongrass, lychee, sugarcane & etc; All of these were really cooling, refreshing and gets your appetite going!



Over here, you will see the "kampung style" dishes like the Ulam, some international salads variety, lots of traditional sauces & sambals to choose from, a very nice mix of western and local delicacies cozied up at this area.


The fruits were amazing! It's like a mini fruit buffet spread. The durian was gone in a jiffy! The rambutan, longan and pear was really sweet and fresh!


There's also a live traditional music performance by Isma & Sri Mawar Band that will perform nightly.

So how much is the price of this buffet?

9. Can we have custom made to order request? (Via WhatsApp or FB?)
Yes via FB/Instagram/WA


Some of which are the "Bak Gua" also known as "Barbecued Sweet Meat" which is famous and often seen every Chinese New Year celebration! Usually made with pork or chicken meat.


I love Nicole's Homemade "Bak Gua" because it's succulent, juicy, tender and it's sweetness is just perfect! It keeps you wanting more! Best of all, NO PRESERVATIVES! Which means, it can't last long! But you can freeze it and reheat. However, it is best eaten fresh!


There's 3 types, the stick which is really tasty and even my kids love it so much that my whole family can finish a pack of 500g in a day.


Another is the coins types and the usual square flat type. Great as a snack, for sandwiches and more!


Besides the "Bak Gua", there's also the "Tau Sah Pheah" that melts in your mouth! Okay, not literally but close! Most commercial baked "Tau Sah Pheah" is usually sweet, dry, too bland or the skin is too thick!


Another I would love to highlight is the Coconut Doll Biscuits! That is my family favourite! I used to get a set of 20pcs everytime when it's available. But the next round I may have to get 2 sets since my youngest enjoys eating!


When I said multi-skilled, I mean it! She even sells Mangolicious cakes and it is amazing the way it's decorated and made with so much passion! My in-laws loved it when I ordered a cake for my Mother-in-law's birthday!


We had a satisfying dinner before that and usually when it comes to the cake or even desserts, we get really full! But we managed to almost finish the cake because it was so fresh, light, fluffy and tasty! Definitely worth it!


Follow her on Facebook or you can join one of the Facebook Group I help to admin to request for her specialties and from time to time she will post special delicacies available for a short time frame in the Facebook Groups and in her personal Facebook too.

So don't miss it! Like this cute lil Piggy Doll Biscuit (kosong) very traditional, cute and fun to take photo with.
