The year-end Christmas season is a time for making cherished memories wrapped in warm cheer and laughter. At DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam i-City, this year’s festive spirit kicks off with a tree-lighting ceremony, setting the perfect tone for the celebrations to follow.
The Christmas buffet this year at Makan Kitchen exudes youthful energy and vibrancy. Surprises await at every corner, and the chefs’ creativity shines through in every dish!
Seafood On Ice
This lavish spread features an array of the freshest seafood, including succulent prawns, tender mussels, juicy scallops and my personal favorite: meaty crabs. Adding to the festive charm, the chef has created intricate ice carvings that beautifully complement the Christmas winter theme.
From tangy vinaigrettes to creamy sauces, there is something to complement every bite.
Sashimi & Sushi
At the sashimi counter, you can enjoy the freshest tuna served directly from the whole fish. There is also a wide assortment of sushi to indulge in.
