Enjoy your dinner: Sous chef Mohd Nor Yacob welcomes patrons to their scrumptious dishes at Cititel Mid Valley

Food is prepared fresh with over 60 dishes and menus rotated daily.

Sous chef Mohd Nor Yacob said among their signature dishes were Asam Pedas Ekor (oxtail) and Sup Ekor, which people come in search of every year.

He said they would be having a whole lamb alongside Nasi Briyani and Nasi Bukhari.

“We have added many local dishes in the buffet spread like Ikan Keli Goreng Cili, Masak Lemak Tempoyak and Ayam Percik, which are from different states.

For starters: Thai Prawn Salad with Pomelo is a good way to start.

“When making these dishes you need the right ingredients.

“For example, if you were making Asam Tempoyak, you would use ikan patin and Lemak Tempoyak will need ikan jelawat.

“We have tried to stick to the traditional way of preparing the dishes,” he said.

Patrons can start off the meal with appetisers such as Kerabu Nangka Muda, Kerabu Pucuk Paku, Kerabu Jantung Pisang, Thai Beef Salad and Kerabu Belimbing Buluh.

Some of the all-time favourite dishes include Rendang Daging Minang, Udang Masak Lemak Belimbing Buluh, Ikan Bawal Masak Tomato, Ayam Masak Merah Bermadu, Sambal Sotong Petai, Kailan Ikan Masin, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Mussel Thermidos and Pan-Fried Salmon with Terriyaki.

A special grilled and deep-fried station is also set up with ikan pari, ikan terubuk, kerepok lekor, cucur udang, satay and otak-otak daun nipah to choose from.

Signature dish: Asam Pedas Ekor is a different way of preparing oxtail.
