DOUBLE Tree by Hilton is celebrating Cantonese cuisine by highlighting its splendour and exquisiteness all in one go.

Inspired by the local Cantonese heritage, Double Tree by Hilton is presenting its “Craving Cantonese” dinner buffet at the Chinese section of Makan Kitchen.

“Craving Cantonese” is a culinary experience that features an array of signature appetisers, BBQ specialities and a la carte dishes, all created by Makan Kitchen Chinese sous chef Cheong Boon Fei.

The restaurant’s distinct interior with strong ethnic influence, along with several locally themed semi-private and private rooms, make it a good place for family gatherings and business meetings.

Apart from the regular buffet, diners of “Craving Cantonese” will also enjoy special appetiser platters that feature local Cantonese favourites. They include marinated jelly fish, pickled lotus and white fungus, smoked duck breast, BBQ-style quail, ginger-marinated long beans and braised peanuts.

On rotation each day are premium signature a la carte dishes served to enhance the overall dining experience.

“There are three items on rotation each day, and they are personally selected by our team of chefs to include the perennial favourites,” said chef Cheong.

These include premium whole steamed fish with scallions, ginger and sizzling sesame oil, scallops on half shell with glass noodles and garlic, and the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup served in a winter melon.

“These are also dishes that influenced us (the chefs) during our careers,” he added.

A special feature is the live-action dumpling station that showcases the chef’s dexterity in shaping and frying fresh wo teep (dumpling) that complements the noodle dish of the day.

The dumplings are a must-try.
