In a city that rarely slows, Ramadan offers a gentle pause — and at The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar, that pause is savoured deliberately. This season, Citarasa Malaya arrives not with spectacle, but with sincerity: a buffet shaped by memory, heritage and the quiet comfort of familiar dishes, served from 23 February to 15 March at RM148++ per person.
The evening begins softly with a Pandan Oatside Glass Jelly drink, a cooling prelude to the warmth that follows. From there, the buffet unfolds like a culinary map of Malaysia. Slow-cooked classics anchor the experience — Rendang Tok, Gulai Daging and the fiery Daging Salai Masak Lemak Cili Api — each prepared with a respect that feels closer to home cooking than hotel dining.
Live stations add gentle theatre. Ayam Percik glows over open flames while freshly grilled Ikan Bakar perfumes the air at sunset. Alongside them sit deeply comforting staples: Laksa Johor, Sup Kambing, kerabu mangga and fragrant beef serunding — dishes that carry the nostalgia of Ramadan evenings across generations.
Desserts return diners to childhood: pengat pisang, bubur kacang hijau and bubur pulut hitam, warm and reassuring rather than indulgent. Within the softly lit interiors of The Chow Kit – an Ormond Hotel, the meal feels intimate — less a buffet, more a gathering.
