Enjoy one of the best Ramadhan Buffet Dinner in Melaka at Novotel Melaka. Feast on succulent roasted lamb, Arabian Rice, Murtabak, royally luscious desserts and many more. Eat till you drop!
Located in the heart of Melaka City, Novotel Melaka is just a stone's throw away from the various must-visit historical landmarks such as A'Famosa, St. Paul's Church and Dutch Square just to name a few. Undeniably, it is one of the best hotels for your staycation should you want to visit Melaka during the holy month. Personally I have had buffet dinner in this place before previously and it was already very delicious. However this Ramadhan Buffet was really on another level and it totally blew my mind with its wide range of gastronomic delights. Even my picky children and demanding wifey were all praise for this scrumptious spread.
I went straight to grab my roasted lamb
You will be drooling like me too
There are 3 different sauces to choose from
And the fragrant Arabian Rice
This year, the theme for the Ramadhan Buffet chosen by Novotel Melaka is Selera Warisan Ramadhan which can be translated to Ramadhan Heritage Cuisines. Food lovers will immediately be dumbstruck by the sheer amount of food that is at their disposal, I know I did. Not only can one feast on our favourite Malaysian dishes, you will also be enjoying countless international platters. In other words you will be spoiled for choices and towards the end you will realize that you have too much on your plate...literally!
Be WARNED that this Ramadhan Buffet is perfect for those who want to indulge in the finer food in Melaka...excessively! In other words, gluttons like me will definitely enjoy all the food that we can stuff into our mouth. First and foremost, the moment we were given the green light, yours truly me headed straight to the roasted lamb station on the outside first. As expected, there was already a bee line of people lining up with their empty plates to get a piece of the delectable "Kambing Golek". Sitting nicely next to the lamb was the fragrant Arabian Rice (Nasi Arab) which really complement the grilled lamb with its soft, fluffy texture. There were 3 different sauces to go with your Arabian rice and grilled lamb and I picked the black pepper sauce which of course made the whole dish even more tantalizing.
Those who savour something more traditional will be glad to know that there will be nasi ulam together with some raw vegetables such as petai, carrot, cucumber and tiny tomatoes just to name a few for you to savour. Other main courses include the appetizing Kambing Masak Kapitan, herbaceous Daging Rendang Tok, slightly spicy Ayam Kari Khasmir and toothsome Ikan Keli Masak Lemak Nangka. By now I am sure you will be drooling like me. I was literally at my wits' end, deciding which cuisine I should try. Decisions~Decisions! Oh by the way, I really enjoyed their crunchy Sayur Kailan with salted fish even though I am not a veggie kind of person.
Salad lovers need to rejoice as there is a fresh salad bar dedicated specially for them. I did not touch any of the salads as I am more carnivorous. LOL :D Those who enjoy eating fish will be elated to know that there will be the lip-smacking Portuguese Grilled fish that is wrapped in ambrosial banana leaf. The fiery sambal really brought out the savory taste of the meat. Make sure you help yourself with a few servings of these. There were also chicken and beef satays for those who love to eat skewered meat served with distinctive chili paste.
My children really enjoyed the freshly made murtabak a lot. In fact they had more than one serving of this stuff pancake which is crunchy on the outside and damn tasty on the inside thanks to its filling. The dal must have been really good as well as I saw my kids busy dipping the murtabak into it. Next, we tried the laksa which was also very, very good. The spicy broth was bursting with flavors which really made the noodle very pleasant. Those who want to try something less spicy can opt for western spaghetti and pastas. I ordered mine and requested it to be complemented with chicken bolognese sauce. The moment I sink my teeth into my pasta...I was so, so damn surprised...it was so soft and springy at the same time-AL DANTE-and the chicken bolognese sauce was really, really luscious, that I kept on spooning more into my gaping mouth. Dayum!
We were almost full by then...but our bloated stomachs were not going to stop us from savouring one of the best food we had in this Ramadhan Buffet-DESSERTS! I am not just talking about any ordinary desserts, mind you! You will be able to feast on a banquet of royally luscious desserts that are fit for a king! I doubt you could ever finish all of them even if you just take each of every different desserts available. Jordan boy and Jasmine girl were obviously having a great time munching on these dainty, colourful desserts which look like something borrowed from movies. Even my picky wife agreed that the desserts were really good.
I am impressed to know that they also provide traditional Malay Kuih (Cakes), kurma (dates) and even dodol. Those who wish to savour desserts which are more Malaysian can always opt for pengat, cendol and bubur cha cha which were really, really good. Another highlight for me personally about this Novotel Melaka is its coffee machines! Honestly any hotel which provides free flow of gourmet-like coffee deserve my attention and worth my mention. Yours truly me had at least 4 cups of coffee after my gratifying meals. Too bad there is a limit to how much I could drink. I am sure I could have a few more lattes and cappuccinos if I could stay longer. Ha :D
All in all, my family and I truly enjoyed the good food here and we really wish to return to enjoy more of their wonderful morsels of cuisines and desserts. Frankly speaking, I feel guilty as I could not try all the food here. Why? Because there were simply too many different types of divine food but so little stomach space. If you are looking for one of the top Ramadhan Buffets in Melaka, look no further as yours truly me highly recommend Novotel Melaka. Two thumbs up!
