If you have been to the Cheras Sentral Mall, you would have noticed this brand new mid-size hotel adjacent to it, with a very stylish “Silka” logo heralding it. Yes, that’s the Silka Cheras Kuala Lumpur, a value-led 319-guestroom hotel which is within 15 minutes’ drive from the city centre.
Throughout the holy month of Ramadhan, the hotel’s Curvz Cafe is serving a Buka Puasa buffet that showcases the best of “kampung” cuisine prepared by Chef Badrul and his team. This “Juadah Kampung” theme features about 100 types of delectable favourites like Rendang Tok Kuala Kangsar, Asam Laksa Utara, Sotong Sumbat Masak Lemak, Sambal Udang Terung Pipet and Ekor Lembu Assam Pedas. Oh yes, you must not miss the Ekor Lembu Assam Pedas – it’s so good! The ekor lembu was tender and deliciously gelatinous, bursting with the rich flavours of spices boiled in the assam pedas gravy.
Curvz Cafe’s roast chicken and roast lamb are executed faultlessly. Both the chicken and lamb have been marinaded so well it’s a joy to bite into the moist tender meats.
There are a good variety of condiments for the Rojak Pasembur here, so be sure to head to that counter. Batter-coated and deep-fried crab claws, fish cakes, hard boiled eggs, crabsticks and seafood are piled up on the tray.
My fellow diners fell in love with the Siput Sedut Masak Lemak here and had a great time sucking out those embedded morsels. We had Sup Rusa on the night we were there… we like the piping hot soup and the spices were well balanced and flavoured the soup in the most enticing way.
The satay here come in 3 choices of meat: chicken, beef and venison! Guess which was my favourite?
This buffet spread may not be as lavish as some bigger hotels but its 100+ dishes are not shabby at all. With a tight and smaller variety, diners get to stay focused and savour “Juadah Kampung” at its best.
