This article is part of my Ramadan 2020 compilation.

Special thanks to Summit Hotel Subang USJ for extending this food review invitation.

Summit Hotel Subang USJ is the next hotel to reveal its Ramadan buffet menu. The actual Warna Warni Ramadhan buffet dinners will be held at Oceania Buffet Restaurant. But for this evening, the preview event is held at the Grand Ballroom instead.

Malay appetizers typically include ulam-ulaman such as jantung pisang, ulam raja and daun pegaga. These raw vegetables are often eaten with condiments like budu and cincalok. As for kerabu (Malay salad), there are kerabu tanghoon, kerabu taugeh, kerabu kerang and more.

Nasi Briyani Gam Johor uses long-grain basmati rice. Basmati rice has a lighter texture and is not as starchy as jasmine rice. The rice is cooked with meat and a variety of spices.

Kari Kepala Ikan is a spicy curry dish that features deep-fried salmon heads. Apart from the fact that salmon heads do not have much meat, this dish is quite appealing. As for poultry, go for Gulai Ayam Cili Merah.

Ikan Bakar Kasturi Bersama Sos Tangkap Nangis is served with sambal kicap (spicy soy sauce) and air asam (tamarind sauce). And if you want something spicier, Daging Salai Masak Lemak Cili Api is a good choice for you.

Tulang Rusuk Bakar Dengan Sos Meletup Pedas is another interesting choice if you take beef. Meanwhile if you are fond of sea snails, go for Siput Sedut Masak Lemak Dengan Ubi Keladi.

Kambing Golek is served with roasted vegetables and condiments like black pepper and mushroom sauces. Make sure you get your helping early because the mutton depletes rapidly.

Popiah Basah is prepared at one of the many à la minute stations. The snack comprises of thin crêpes filled with sengkuang (jicama), omelettes, bean sprouts, peanuts, vegetables and sweet sauce.

The Goreng-Goreng station serves crispy fritters made of vegetables and anchovies. It is advisable to consume these fritters while they are still hot from the fryer.

Murtabak is filled with spiced chicken and fried on a griddle. The flatbread is customarily eaten with curry and pickled onions.

As for Western cuisine, the buffet line includes a counter that serves roast beef, grilled chicken, pasta, sandwiches, bruschetta and more.

Moving to the dessert counter, there are several types of cakes, mousses and French pastries. Of course, an iftar meal must include assorted Malay kuih and sweet soups like pengat pisang (banana & coconut milk soup) and bubur kacang hijau (mung bean soup).

Summit Hotel's Warna Warni Ramadhan buffet dinner will be served every evening from 27 April 2020 to 22 May 2020. The standard price is RM88.00 net for adults and RM40.00 net for children. For every 5 paying customers, the next person's meal is on the house! Also for a limited time, adult vouchers are on sale for RM68.00 net only.
