This article is part of our Ramadan 2026 series.
Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur is introducing a new festive dining experience at The Mill Café, led by newly appointed culinary leaders Executive Chef Mustapha Awang, fondly known as Chef Muss, and Sous Chef Andri bin Abdul Hadi.
Marking their first festive season at the hotel, the duo has introduced a curated evening buffet titled “Duo Chef, Satu Sajian di Bulan Mulia,” which brings together a harmonious blend of Silk Road inspirations, Nusantara influences, and traditional Malay cuisine.
A Crossroads of Heritage
Having spent years leading kitchens across China, Chef Muss has developed a deep appreciation for regional Chinese cuisines. A major highlight of this influence is the Xinjiang-style Imperial Roasted Whole Lamb, which reflects the slow-cooking techniques and robust flavors characteristic of the Silk Road.
Diners can also savor the Silk Road Spiced-Grilled Lamb Skewers, which are crafted to blend ancient trade route aromatics with local palates. These skewers are significantly larger than your typical satay, making them an incredibly satisfying choice for meat lovers. Highly recommended for those seeking a robust and flavorful bite!
For a comforting and hearty option, the Pak Muss Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup offers a rich, flavorful broth that draws directly from the Chef’s creative vision and his extensive culinary journey through the heart of China.
In addition to the Silk Road specialties, Chef Muss introduces his creative take on a beloved regional classic with the Pulled Beef Brisket Bao Buns. This dish draws inspiration from the traditional Rou Jia Mo, often referred to as a “Chinese hamburger,” which is a staple of Lanzhou food culture.
Heritage Flavors
Complementing the Silk Road specialties, Sous Chef Andri bin Abdul Hadi, a culinary veteran with over 33 years of experience, serves as the master of authentic Malay heritage recipes.
Chef Andri focuses on preserving aromatic spice blends and the comforting tastes of traditional festive dining through several signature creations. Among his signature creations is the ‘Ayam Percik Rendang Tradisi’ Andri, a unique fusion dish that combines the smoky essence of grilled chicken with the rich, complex spices of traditional rendang.
Besides Malay style grilled fish, seafood lovers can indulge in the ‘Botok Botok Tenggiri Mantap’, a traditional delicacy where mackerel is meticulously prepared with a variety of herbs and spices to offer a deep, savory flavor profile.
These masterpieces, along with his refined Asam Pedas Ekor, reflect a deep commitment to culinary craftsmanship and cultural diversity.
To capture the true essence of the season, the buffet also features prominent festive staples such as Bubur Lambuk, Lemang and Ketupat with Serunding.
In Malay cuisine, the meal experience is often balanced by the inclusion of ulam and kerabu, which serve as essential appetizers to prime the palate. Ulam refers to a variety of fresh, raw local herbs and vegetables typically enjoyed with a spicy sambal to enhance the appetite.
To further elevate the spread, the buffet features composed salads known as kerabu, which offer a vibrant burst of flavors.
A standout example is the Hinava Nusantara, a traditional salad that utilizes citrus and fresh aromatics to create a refreshing contrast to the richer, spice-laden main courses. Highly recommended!
These selections are thoughtfully curated as part of the salad bar to ensure a well-rounded and authentic dining experience.
Bazaar Favorites
Beyond the signature main courses, the buffet features a vibrant selection of popular street food and traditional snacks that capture the essence of a local bazaar.
Be sure to visit the live action counter for a taste of nostalgia with the crispy, freshly made Apam Balik.
Prepared to order, these traditional pancakes are cooked until golden and brittle, filled with the classic combination of crushed peanuts, sugar, and sweet corn.
In a creative nod to popular street food trends, the buffet also features the Sister Odeng Pancake at one of its vibrant live stations.
Prepared fresh to order, this dish offers a playful take on contemporary street food, served with a variety of flavors and topping to suit every preference.
A Sweet Finale
No festive feast is complete without a trip to the dessert station, which offers a decadent bridge between local nostalgia and contemporary sweets.
Guests can explore a colorful array of traditional Malay kuih which is crafted to showcase the rich flavors of pandan, coconut milk, and palm sugar.
For a taste of traditional Malay fermentation, the dessert spread features the classic Tapai Pulut and Tapai Ubi. Wrapped in traditional leaves to preserve their authentic aroma, these fermented treats offer a refreshing and cooling sensation that balances the rich, spicy flavors of the main buffet.
The showstopper of the evening is undoubtedly the durian-inspired dessert selection, featuring the “King of Fruits” in various indulgent forms.
For those who appreciate the finesse of European confectionery, the spread also features an array of Western pastries.
To round off the experience, a vibrant seasonal fruit platter and an array of assorted hot and chilled drinks serve as refreshing palate cleansers.
Plan Your Festive Gathering
While the preview offered a tantalizing glimpse into the menu, it represented only a portion of the extensive spread available. To ensure variety, the menu rotates regularly, providing a fresh and evolving culinary experience for guests throughout the month.
