Empire Hotel Subang group general manager Ho Ricky said the flags of the 13 states of Malaysia had been placed at the buffet spread to let diners know where the dishes originated from or where it is popular.

“It will be almost like a complete taste of Malaysian cuisine where you get to sample a speciality from each of the 13 states in one dinner.

Executive chef Syed Zainuddin Alsagoff hopes to highlight the heritage of the 13 states while giving a twist to traditional recipes.

“I created a fusion of recipes from different states.

“One example is the Ayam Golek Percik, the Kelantan sauce is whitish or brownish while the Perak one is reddish; I created a fusion of both recipes and the result is a pinkish gravy,” he said.

For children, he recommends the Ayam Masak Ros from Johor and laksam from Kelantan as these dishes are not too spicy.

Homemade cookies can also be bought from the restaurant.

Diners will be entertained by a Ghazal band performing nightly.

Diners also stand a chance to win a Hermes watch worth about RM12,000 by taking part in a contest organised during the period.

The Seenak Citarasa Malaysia buffet dinner is priced at RM108++ for adults and RM88++ for children and senior citizens.
