Chef Zamani Kidam's team has prepared a "Sajian Klasik Nusantara" or Classic Archipelago Cuisine themed buffet featuring local warung or street side stall style food, together with popular must haves like charcoal grilled whole lamb.

The al fresco golf terrace (no air con) was beautifully laid out for the preview of the Ramadan buffet dinner. As usual, we got here early and made our rounds around the stations before everyone got really busy with guests.

Spotted Chef Zam in his working clothes cooking sup tulang or "stewed gearbox" (before he changed into batiks to mingle with guests).

They grilled beef, chicken, fish, etc on the spot at BBQ corner.

The freshly made nasi lemak was served in traditional street side style, wrapped in triangular bundles lined with fresh banana leaf.

The ever popular fried chicken was cooked in small batches so they were always fresh, piping hot and crispy. Every new batch of fried chicken disappeared in seconds upon landing on the serving tray.

I've seen roti canai being made countless times since childhood, but it still fascinates me.

True to the "Sajian Klasik Nusantara" warung theme, there were even street burgers and roti John.

The fried carrot cake and fried kway teow were tasty.

Popular emcee, Embun declared the buffet opened the traditional way by striking the gong 7 times. Quick and funny Emcee Embun will entertain buffet guests throughout Ramadan.

Florence's round 1.

My round 1. Why so little ah?

Ponderosa Golf & Country Resort Ramadan Buffet 2019

No lah...., I was reserving my stomach for Chef Zam's special beef, chicken, duck and catfish smoked with coconut husks. Woohoo.... the natural flavours of the tender juicy meats were infused with the characteristic smokey flavour and aroma of coconut husks. The sauce which was gently sweet spicy also had subtle smokey taste. 

Yummaey.

Of course, I didn't stop there ๐Ÿ˜„

Popular street food "stewed gearbox" are lamb knee bones slow stewed in low heat for hours in spices and lots of vegetables. The soup was a bit greasy but the tender meat was deliciously sweet, savoury with mild spicy heat. Gearbox connoisseurs will patiently dig out the soft jelly sweet gamey bone marrow from inside the hollow.

I like Ponderosa's roast lamb as the meat was tender, juicy, sweet, savoury with subtle natural lamb flavour.

Shared a packet of nasi lemak with buddy Florence. With so much goodies to try, it is always smart to share the calories but still get the full flavours.



This nasi lemak was good ๐Ÿ˜‹ The rice was aromatic and tasted of fresh coconut milk. The fried ikan kuning was nicely done with a slight crisp and was not overly dry. The sambal chili was excellent. Sweet spicy with quite zesty heat yet not overly sweet. The sambal chili had nice dried anchovy flavour.

The sambal chili was so good, I ate it with raw petai (stinky beans) - two of my favourite things together, yummaey.

(Harish said he has to move to another table because of the stinky beans ๐Ÿ˜‚ Actually, I only copied Florence's idea ๐Ÿ˜œ )
