Executive chef Isham Ismail said this allowed customers to savour the various preparation styles.

“I learned that each dish has its own distinct flavour. We have the Sabah chicken rendang that is heavily influenced by lengkuas while the Negri Sembilan is spicy but we have made it to suit all taste buds,” he added.

The dishes are perfect with lemang as well as other local dishes on the buffet.

Keeping to traditional, Parkroyal has brought back the essence of kampung specialties in its Ramadhan Selera Kampung buffet this year.

There is the kerabu corner with the Pasembur Berlauk with rich peanut gravy, Kerabu Pucuk Paku, Kerabu Ayam Daun Kesom and Kerabu Jantung Pisang – an old village favourite.

The Lemang goes well with all the different types of rendang at the buffet.

The Briyani Kambing, according to Isham is a must-have.

“We use ghee as well as condensed milk and tomato puree, making it rich and creamy.

“The spices alone are not enough to give the dish an overall balanced taste,” he said.

Another classic is the Sup Tulang – Isham’s own recipe which uses bone marrow to deepen the broth’s flavour.
