WITH most sectors operating in full swing, scores of hotels are now enjoying brisk business.

At Swiss Garden Beach Resort Kuantan in Pahang, guests and walk-in diners can enjoy an extensive selection of East Coast fare.

Themed “Tradisi Warisan Pantai Timur”, the Ramadan buffet menu is served rotationally.

“There are appetisers, main dishes, food from live stations and desserts.

“They can choose from a selection of cold and hot starters.

“There are ulam, assorted kerabu and jeruk, as well as soups and other appetisers,” said food and beverage service manager K. Ramesh.

Executive chef Ahmad Nasaruddin and his culinary team have prepared an extensive selection of dishes, including Kambing Briyani Gam, gulai kawah, kambing bakar (grilled mutton), Goreng-Goreng (deep-fried fritters), chicken and beef satay as well as ikan bakar (grilled fish).

Other crowd favourites include Ikan Patin Tempoyak, Ketam Goreng Lada Hitam, Ayam Masak Asam, Udang Masak Lemak Cili Api and new rotational main dishes, alongside stalls serving roti canai, murtabak, bubur lambuk and Mee Pahang.

“At the dessert station, we have cendol and ais kacang with toppings such as jelly, red beans, palm seeds, syrup and evaporated milk over shaved ice,” said resort general manager Raymond Leaw.

“Other sweet treats include an assortment of Malay kuih, cakes and pastries, as well as apple crumble and ice cream.

“Now that the country is transitioning to endemic phase, more are opting to break fast in hotels again,” he added.

Leaw said the number of bookings since the first week of Ramadan had been very encouraging.

A dedicated prayer room are also available for Muslim diners.

The Ramadan buffet is priced at RM80nett (adult) and RM55nett (child and senior citizen).
