This article is part of our Ramadan 2026 series.
This season, Makan Kitchen at DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur transforms into a theatrical culinary landscape for “Santapan Lagenda.” Focusing on regional heritage, the venue celebrates the art of traditional Malaysian cooking and the communal spirit of the kampung.
In a meaningful gesture of community support, the hotel will donate RM1 from every buffet purchase to the Kechara Soup Kitchen.
A Tale of Two Menus
Spanning 18 February to 19 March 2026, the buffet offers a diverse experience where the Sunday–Wednesday rotation and the Thursday–Saturday premium window each showcase distinct culinary highlights.
