Ramadan 2015: Aloft Hotel KL – compact selection for buka puasa buffet

Nook is vibrant. Nook is pretty. Nook is contemporary chic.

As much as I enjoy the interior, the natural light, the efficient and warm service, the buffet spread left much to be desired at times.

This is a personal take of course, for I’m sure Nook’s buffet commands its own league of fans.
My conclusion was made based on numerous dining occasions at the buffet over the past year; and mostly during media events.

The Balestier Heritage Walk @Singapore – Rochor Beancurd, Sun Yat Sen, Loong Fatt, Art Deco Shophouses

I’ve alway said I love Singapore.

While Malaysians may grimace at my remarks about how much I love the food in Singapore, I’m still steadfast to my opinion that GOURMET food in Singapore rocks (in comparison to Malaysia) and damn, Singapore chicken rice is just darn tasty.

This trip to Singapore was kindly hosted by the team at Days Hotel and Ramada Hotel on Zhongshan Park.
If you wish to know about both hotels and the food served, you can refer to my links at the bottom of this post.

Rebecca Saw - Ramada singapore

We have a bubbly guide who shared tales of Singapore as we strolled down the street, embarking on our “Balestier Heritage Trail” which tells a tale spanning nearly 180 years and has borne witness to Singapore’s remarkable journey from a British trading post to a modern city state.
This trail is about 4km, demarcated with trail markers.
You can opt to wonder out on your own, or arrange for a guide.

Berbuka Puasa in KL – Ramadan Buffet by Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral

What I have always liked about Kembali Kitchen, Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral is the brightly lit and contemporary setting space.
Though in the heart of Brickfields, it is located slightly off the busy Little India area, and due to its location, one would be quick to dismiss it as another business hotel, with a small gym and even smaller pool and tight corridors.

That wasn’t the case here though, for within this building, a beautiful big pool, spacious meeting space and a gym overlooking the KLCC towers made it almost a relaxation accomodation, setting it apart from the usual city hotels.
