Running every Friday and Saturday from 6:30pm to 10:00pm, the Grill Nites Buffet – A Charcoal Experience at Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya transforms the restaurant’s open-air terrace into a resort-inspired grill station. Taking center stage, this immersive affair invites guests to witness the art of live grilling over glowing charcoal, where the smoky aromas of premium cuts and fresh seafood redefine the traditional buffet experience.
The experience begins at the bountiful Seafood on ice counter, which showcases a premium selection of ocean treasures.
Diners are invited to hand-pick their favorites ranging and pass them to the chefs to be seared over the charcoal flames.
The seafood selection is as responsible as it is indulgent, with all of them are sourced exclusively from MSC- and ASC-certified suppliers.
MSC (Marine Stewardship Council): A gold standard for wild-caught seafood certifying that fisheries operate sustainably to protect ocean health and fish populations for the future.
ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council): The premier label for farmed seafood guaranteeing that your meal is produced through environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture practices.
Scallops demand precision as a few seconds too long and they turn rubbery. The squids here are grilled to a gentle char that softens their natural brininess into something deeply satisfying.
Displayed proudly on ice before they meet the heat, Slipper Lobsters are grilled over glowing charcoal until the shells are lightly charred. The sweet, firm flesh inside absorbs just enough smoke to make each bite sing, creating a standout highlight for seafood lovers.
Another undeniable main highlight of the Grill Nites Buffet is the Freshwater River Prawns, which are presented with impressive size and undeniable freshness.
When kissed by the charcoal flames, their natural sweetness is so pronounced that they are good on their own even without the need for additional sauces.
For those who prefer immediate indulgence, a variety of prepared cooked items are also available directly from the tray. While the seafood is a major draw, the beef and chicken satay stand out as the crowd favorites of the evening.
