Rediscover cherished culinary traditions this Ramadan at Fivewells Restaurant with Courtyard by Marriott Setia Alam’s “Citarasa Iftar – Sajian Nostalgia Abadi” buffet. The convenient location in Setia Alam with easy access from Setia City Mall, provides an exceptional berbuka puasa experience.
The Ramadan buffet at Courtyard by Marriott Setia Alam offers a vast and diverse selection of dishes, with food stations are placed along nearly every wall of the dining area.
The arrival of new Executive Chef Shahid Khan has significantly elevated the culinary offerings this Ramadan, ensuring that guests will enjoy a truly memorable and exceptional dining experience marked by heightened flavors and meticulous presentation.
Rasa Panggang
Kambing Bakar Bumbu is roasted lamb enhanced by the vibrant tapestry of Indonesian spices. The overall flavor profile delivers a smoky, savory taste with tender, spice-infused lamb.
The flavor profile of Beef Brisket Rendang includes warm, aromatic notes of rendang and smoky elements. The brisket itself is incredibly soft, easily pulled apart, and deeply infused with the concentrated, complex flavors of the rendang sauce. Remember to try this out!
This live cooking station also offers a variety of grilled delights, known as bakar-bakar, featuring several Malaysian favorite grilled items.
Laman Satay
Available as well are satay daging and satay ayam, served alongside kuah kacang, nasi impit, and the refreshing crunch of sliced cucumber and onions.
Shawarma Kebab & Roti John
The taste of Shawarma is a savory blend of spiced meat, creamy sauces, and fresh vegetables. The vertical pit ensures that the chicken is cooked evenly, and that the fat drips down, adding to the flavor.
Roti John is a Malaysian and Singaporean sandwich, essentially a savory omelet sandwich and a must have during Ramadan.
Festive Specials
Let’s move on to the festive specials. Nasi Briyani is a fragrant and richly spiced rice dish that’s a staple of celebratory meals. The long-grain rice is layered with tender pieces of meat, further enriching the dish with savory depth.
Daging Dendeng Hitam features thinly sliced beef cooked in a thick, dark sauce. The “hitam” (black) color comes from the use of dark soy sauce and palm sugar, contributing to a distinct sweetness (“manis”). The sauce itself is thick and intensely flavorful, coating the beef with a sticky, sweet, and slightly savory glaze. A must-try!
Ayam Rendang Hijau is slow-cooked in a vibrant green rendang sauce, becoming incredibly tender and easily falling off the bone. The sauce itself is thick, clinging to the chicken and delivering a powerful burst of aromatic spices and subtle sweetness. Highly recommended!
Nostalgia Raya
Let’s explore the Nostalgia Raya section, beginning with the very essence of tradition – Ulam-ulaman and Kerabu.
The rarity of Kulit Ayam Cili Kering brings back cherished memories, especially for older generations, who value its simple ingredients and traditional cooking methods that reveal the best flavors.
Next, let’s take a look at the next row of mouthwatering options!
Gulai Kawah
No Ramadan celebration is truly authentic without the presence of Gulai Kawah.
Asam Pedas Warisan
Asam Pedas Warisan is a tangy and spicy dish, deeply rooted in traditional Malay cuisine, delivering a potent punch of sourness from tamarind and a fiery kick from chilies.
Lemak Salai Station
In Malay cooking, “Salai” refers to the process of smoking food, a method historically vital for preservation. The smoked ingredients are subsequently cooked, which releases and enhances the distinctive smoky taste.
Bubur & Sup “Letup”
Discover the comforting warmth of Bubur & Sup, elevated to new heights with the “Letup” of vibrant spices and rich broths. Personalize your bowl with your favorite ingredients and condiments.
Nasi Ayam Padu
At Nasi Ayam Padu, guests will find both Hainanese chicken and roasted chicken, served alongside nasi minyak and chicken soup.
Mee Kuali
Often found at bazaars, Mee Kuali adds another highlight to the evening’s culinary experience.
The Mee Goreng Mamak here is exceptionally delicious. Each strand of noodle is perfectly cooked, avoiding any stickiness, and yet remains wonderfully aromatic and perfectly dry, not at all soggy. Highly recommended!
Selera Lokal
Beyond the festive delights, the buffet also offers an extensive array of other main dishes.
Let’s explore the flavors of other cuisines and try some dishes.
Soup & Bread
Dapur Mee & Bakso
Dapur Mee dan Bakso offers a diverse selection of noodle and meatball dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Guests can savor the tangy freshness of asam laksa, the rich spiciness of curry, the savory yet stomach-warming bakso, and the vibrant sour-spicy kick of tom yum.
However, the highlight is undoubtedly the bakso. These meatballs have a delightful texture and a rich, savory flavor, making them a must-try dish.
Terang Bulan & Warung Rangup
After indulging in the main dishes, let’s venture over to the live action counters – Terang Bulan & Warung Rangup.
Terang Bulan, also known as Apam Balik in Indonesia, offers freshly made sweet pancakes right before your eyes.
And don’t forget to explore the Warung Rangup, where you can find an array of crispy fried delights, including the ever-popular pisang goreng (banana fritters).
Aneka Murtabak
The Aneka Murtabak stall presents a delightful array of murtabak options, catering to every palate.
Guests can choose from classic chicken murtabak, rich beef murtabak, flavorful lamb murtabak, and a vegetarian-friendly vegetable murtabak.
Each murtabak is served with tempting side dishes, including a smooth vegetable dhal, tangy red pickled onions, and a fragrant potato curry.
Street Food
Bubur Manis Traditional
Among the various sweet porridges (like bubur kacang hijau), the bubur pulut hitam is the absolute must-try this evening! Th eporridge is perfectly thick, sweet without being cloying, and intensely rich. The fragrant coconut milk elevates it to another level, leaving you wanting more, yet it’s surprisingly light. Be sure to grab a bowl quickly, as it tends to disappear fast!
Sweet Treats
Here comes the sweet finale: a delightful array of traditional kuih muih, delicate pastries, and a refreshing selection of fruits and desserts.
Besides refreshing cold drinks like Sweet Corn, Winter Melon with Longan & Calamansi with Asam Boi, guests can also choose hot coffee and tea. What’s surprising is the Starbucks coffee machine! Guests can enjoy their favorite cup of coffee while enjoying the meal.
