EQ Celebrates Malaysia’s Diverse Culture Of Food

EQ returns with Citarasa Nipah, a diverse buffet spread of over 100 delectable traditional Malay and Southeast Asian dishes. The menu will be rotated weekly during the promotional period from April 13 until May 31, held in Nipah with traditional music performances to set the atmosphere. From appetising Rendang Daging to fragrant Sambal

Tumis Udang Galah, there is something for everyone to enjoy in the feast, making it the ideal choice for family reunions, gatherings of friends and also business partners.

For starters, dig in to crowdpleasing classics such as the Urap Pucuk Manis dan Taugeh, Kerabu Limau Bali, Udang Harimau dan Kacang, as well as the tantalising seafood on ice section which includes myriad fresh selections of mussels, tiger prawns, baby scallops and more. The carving station will feature succulent Kambing Golek and heartier favourites can be found at the main buffet area with dishes like Gulai Lemak Cili Padi Daging Salai, Assam Pedas and the signature Kari Laksa Nipah. The latter is a classic recipe that has been shared over generations of Hotel Equatorial’s illustrious history.

Chef Ali, the Chef de Cuisine, has more than 30 years of experience up his sleeve. Diners can expect well-known dishes often found in celebratory Malaysian events such as weddings, ’rumah terbuka’ and street carnivals. At the outdoor live station, his signature Briyani Gam Johor Ayam or Daging is cooked with rich spices, vegetables and meat that just melts off the bone.

Chef Hafizzul, the Executive

Chef, has more than 18 years of experience in the industry, working in Michelin-starred restaurants and other 5-star establishments.

Hafizzul. “Malaysia truly represents Southeast Asia as a forefront of flavours and spices. We wish for our guests to be spoilt for choice with all we have to offer from the region.”
