This article is part of my Christmas 2019 compilation.
Special thanks to Best Western i-City Shah Alam for extending this food review invitation.
Situated within a walking distance of i-City Theme Park, Best Western i-City Shah Alam is a popular choice of accommodation among holidaymakers. The 3-star hotel also appeals to business travelers with reasonably comfortable rooms at affordable rates.
Located at Level 5, The View Cafe is the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. As Christmas is fast approaching, the eatery is decorated with festive ornaments to give it a homely ambience.
The View Cafe will be serving Christmas Eve Buffet Dinner this year. The buffet is priced at RM60.00 net per person. Children and senior citizens enjoy discounted price of RM42.00 net. To showcase the festive menu, the hotel is serving some of the festive dishes this evening.
Diners can start the meal with light appetizers such as Cobb Salad, Couscous Salad, Crudités and Gazpacho.
The main dishes cover both Western and Asian recipes. The dishes this evening are Pan-Grilled Fish With Basil, Baked Herbal Chicken, Oven-Baked Potatoes, Stir-Fried French Beans With Garlic and Grilled Lamb With Mushroom Sauce.
Turkey Shawarma is served this evening too. Cooked on a vertical rotisserie, turkey is wrapped in pita bread with other fillings like cucumber and tomato.
The buffet spread is supplemented by a number of Christmas confections around the Christmas tree. In line with the merry atmosphere, the pastries are garnished in vibrant colors.
Yule Log Cake is perhaps the most familiar Christmas treat. The cake is covered with chocolate ganache so that it resembles an actual yule log. Other sumptuous yuletide pastries include Christmas Stollen, Fruitcake, Christmas Pudding and Strawberry Éclairs.
Best Western is having a Christmas tree lighting ceremony today. The al fresco terrace next to The View Cafe is illuminated with mesmerizing Christmas lights shortly after sunset.
In the true Christmas spirit of giving, Best Western is hosting 30 kids from the House Of Love Klang. This evening, the hotel fulfilled their wishes by presenting early Christmas gifts to each child. The children also filled the festive air with Christmas carols and harmonica recitals.
