MELTING POT CAFE,
Ground Floor, Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur,
2, Jalan Sultan Ismail,
50250 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 03-2144 2200 ext 2337
Business hours: Buffet dinner from 7pm-10.30pm.

BE spoilt for choice with the selection of Ramadan offerings at Melting Pot Cafe, Concorde.

Concorde Malay chef Abbas Ali prepares his specialities. Among the highlights are the Gearbox Soup, Ikan Merah Panggang Percik Madu, and Stuffed Whole Lamb with Briyani Rice.

There are four rotating buffet menus but some of the food items such as teppanyaki and seafood-on-ice are available daily.

Delicious: Stuffed whole lamb with Briyani rice.

The grilled salmon and chicken we sampled from the teppanyaki corner had us going back for seconds.

My colleague who tried the seafood was pleased with its freshness.

For salads, take your pick from a wide selection of cold salads such as Crab Salad with Green Mango, Shrimp, Rice Noodle Salad, Kerabu Pucuk Ubi, Thai Papaya Salad, Thai Mango Salad, Paru Goreng Sambal and more.

For main course, kampung style dishes include Ayam Kerisik Daun Limau, Pucuk Manis Lemak Keledek, Ayam Rendang, Pucuk Ubi, Udang Sambal Petai and Siput Sedut Masak Pedas.

Slurp it up: Siput Sedut Masak Pedas to go with rice.

Other local delights include Otak-otak Daun Nipah, Satay, Roti John, Murtabak, Roti Jala and Mee Mamak.

Malay cuisine makes up 80% of the dishes served and other cuisines include Western, Japanese and Chinese.

My personal favourites are Crispy Chicken with Thai Chili Sauce and Roast Chicken Breast with Mixed Beans, which is something different from your usual roast chicken.

Mouthwatering desserts include cakes, verrine (confections served in small glass), French pastries, ice-cream, Ais Kacang, Bubur Pulut Hitam, Nyonya Kuih and Tau Foo Fah.

Sweet treats: Be spoilt with the variety of desserts.

There is also a variety of dim sum, pickles, chips and dried fruits.

For entertainment, resident band Begema 5 will perform from 8.20pm to 2.30am.

You can opt to sit by the window to enjoy the street scenes of Jalan Sultan Ismail as you break fast.

The Variasi Ramadan promotion is priced at RM89++ per person.

Melting Pot Cafe is offering a 20% discount during the first week and the last three days of the holy month.
