If your idea of a great weekend involves slurping oysters, stacking sashimi plates, and chasing smoky grilled prawns with good vibes — meet your new ritual.
Welcome to Sear & Shell, Pasar Baru’s Seafood Dinner Buffet at Le Méridien Petaling Jaya, happening every Friday and Saturday from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM. It’s a full-on ocean feast featuring over 100 seafood dishes, live-action stations, chef-led presentations, and a spread generous enough to please both hardcore seafood fans and casual weekend foodies.
The Premium Line-Up: Crab Legs, Oysters & More
Start the night at The Crystal Seas selection, a chilled ocean display stocked with Alaskan crab leg, freshly shucked oysters, scallops, mussels, and clams. Pair each bite with cocktail sauce, wasabi aioli, tabasco, lemon, or — for the spicy crew — a little chili padi heat.
Sashimi, Sushi & Tempura Highlights
From there, glide toward the Ocean Harvest counters — expect a full sushi and maki lineup plus tempura prawns, squid leg and fish fillet served with radish and ginger. Beside it, the Chef’s Ocean Harvest Platter and Chef’s Charcuterie Board offer a savoury break before diving back into the seafood frenzy.
Live Action: Chili Crab Prawn & Mantou Buns
One of the stars of the buffet is the live presentation of Chili Crab Prawns, where tiger prawns are stir-fried in a chili-and-crab meat sauce and served with hot, crispy fried mantou buns. It’s interactive, aromatic, messy in the best way — and absolutely worth going back for seconds.
Carving & Fire-Grilled Favourites
Seafood may be the headliner, but the grill and carving stations deserve their own moment. Look out for:
Beef Wellington
wrapped in golden puff pastry with spinach duxelles and bordelaise sauce
Salmon Head & Belly Indian Curry
served with warm Bengali bread
Sizzling noodles
tossed with mussels, clams, prawns, squid & lala in oyster or Cantonese sauce
For spice lovers, don’t sleep on the Roasted Duck with Passion Fruit Sauce, a balance of crisp skin, savoury meat and a bright, tangy finish.
Greens & Light Bites
Need a breather between plates? Refresh at the Garden Fresh corner with tuna tataki, Thai chili mussels, salad bowls, and classic Caesar fixings. It’s the perfect palate reset before round two (or three).
Sweet Endings
Finally, cool off with the fresh fruit bar or glide into creamy, airy desserts to close your feast on a gentle note. Lastly, a cup of teh tarik to round it all off — the perfect sweet finish.
