For two months, DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur is serving a Thai buffet themed “The Essence of Thai Cuisine“. Held at Makan Kitchen, the menu highlights a collaboration with Executive Chef Noppadon Chainat from DoubleTree by Hilton Phuket Banthai Resort, showcasing the diverse flavors of Thailand.
Pad Thai Goong (Thai Stir-Fried Noodles with Shrimp)
As the signature dish of Thai street food, this classic noodle favorite is a must-try. Stir-fried rice noodles come tossed with fresh shrimp, bean sprouts, and chives.
The preparation balances sweet, tangy, and savory elements. Cooked fresh by the chef, the dish delivers the best flavor experience when eaten straight from the wok while still hot.
Gai Yang with Naam Jim Jaew (Thai Grilled Chicken)
This traditional grilled chicken comes marinated in a blend of Thai herbs. The chicken has a charred exterior while remaining tender inside, served alongside a spicy, tangy dipping sauce.
Yam Som O (Thai Pomelo Salad)
This refreshing salad is made with pomelo tossed with herbs, chilies, and peanuts. The dish balances the natural sweetness of the citrus with sour and spicy notes.
Larb Gai (Thai Minced Chicken Salad)
This classic northeastern Thai salad combines lean minced chicken with herbs and spices to deliver refreshing, aromatic flavors.
Massaman Nuea (Thai Massaman Curry with Beef)
This rich and aromatic curry combines tender beef slow-cooked in a thick coconut milk base. Full of warm spices, the savory gravy makes a great pairing with steamed rice.
Pla Mueg Pad Prik Thai Dum (Stir-Fried Squid with Black Pepper)
The dish highlights the sharp heat of cracked black peppercorns, balanced by onions and bell peppers to complement the squid’s natural sweetness. Flash-cooked over high heat, fresh squid retains a tender texture.
Gaeng Kiew Warn Pak (Thai Green Curry)
This classic curry combines vegetables simmered in rich coconut milk. Green chilies and Thai basil give the curry its signature color and aroma.
Pla Kapong Neung Manow (Steamed Seabass with Lime)
The fish is steamed and served in a tangy broth made with lime juice. Served hot, the dish delivers an aromatic balance of sour and spicy notes.
Gaeng Som Pak (Thai Sour Vegetable Curry)
This fiery curry is prepared with fresh chilies, shallots, and turmeric. Simmered with a variety of vegetables, the curry absorbs the natural sweetness of the greens.
Tom Yum Goong (Thai Hot & Sour Prawn Soup)
This classic Thai soup pairs a spicy, sour broth with aromatic ingredients like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a few prawns!
Miang Kham (Thai Betel Leaf Wraps)
Drizzled with a sweet and savory sauce, this popular snack delivers a rich combination of sour, spicy, sweet, and nutty flavors. Fresh wild betel leaves serve as the wrapper for the traditional fillings.
Kloy Buad Chee (Bananas in Coconut Milk)
This traditional dessert consists of banana slices simmered in rich coconut milk. The warm broth balances the natural sweetness of bananas with a subtle hint of salt.
Khao Niew Mamuang (Thai Mango Sticky Rice)
This iconic dessert pairs glutinous rice with fresh, sweet mango. Infused with coconut milk and served warm, the rice makes a satisfying conclusion to the meal.
Cha Thai (Thai Milk Tea)
The drink station offers two popular beverages. The Thai Red Tea delivers a sweet, vanilla-hinted orange brew, while the Thai Green Tea brings a floral, aromatic profile.
Ei-Keb (Thai Sand-Throwing Game)
While dining, you can participate in traditional games like Ei-Keb. Similar to Batu Seremban, the game involves tossing and catching small sand pouches in a specific sequence.
