Ramadan Buffet at Thistle Hotel in Johor Bahru JB JK1148
Ramadan Buffet at Thistle Hotel (Orchid Ballroom)
Address: Jalan Sungai Chat, 80100 Johor, Malaysia

I was invited to a media preview of Thistle Hotel's annual Ramadan buffet.
This year's event is known as Kampung Kita Ramadan Buffet featuring traditional Malay dishes, the kind that nenek (grandmother) lovingly fussed over during the Holy Month.
On the menu are traditional dishes like Ayam Masak Kurma, Daging Masak Hitam, Asam Pedas Ikan Pari, Ayam Masak Merah, Ayam Masak Madu, Daging Dendeng, Patin Masak Chili and lots more.
I am not going to pretend that I know the name of every dish in the too extensive buffet spread. So, I'll just let the food speak for themselves :-D
Patin Masak Chili.
Fried chicken with tofu, broccoli and carrots in Superior sauce.
Ikan Tengerri in spicy gravy.
Daging Dendeng.
Ayam Masak Kurma.
Fried prawns in cereal batter.
There will also be the ever popular Roasted Whole Lamb (kambing golek) and live stations serving satay, keropok lekor, sup tulang and soto.
Remember to bring your dessert stomach when you come for Thistle's Ramadan buffet. There are over 20 types of traditional Malay kuih and also Western style cakes and puddings to wrap up the feasting on a sweet note.
Remember to try Thistle's signature fried durian fritter, otherwise you will regret and everyone is too busy eating to feel sorry for you ;-p
More kuih and cakes to feast..... your eyes... burp.
The pulut durian doesn't look appetising at first sight but once you start, you may not be able to stop. So, stay away if you are on a diet :-D
Joking..... this pulut durian is really good! Worth your calories.
Ah... such delicate works of edible art.
Thank you Chef Mahmud (left) and team for the sumptuous and scrumptious Ramadan buffet (preview).
5-Star Thistle Hotel is located in an exclusive neighbourhood just 10 minutes' drive from downtown JB or JB CIQ.
Room with a view.
Lim kopi (drink coffee) in my room and enjoying the panoramic view of Dataran Merdeka JB and Straits of Johor.

I was invited to taste the Friday night Italian buffet at Oasis Restaurant in Thistle Hotel Johor Bahru.
We can enjoy poolside dinning on cool breezy nights.

Or, we can opt for the Oasis' well appointed interior.
The appetisers, mains and desserts are presented buffet style. In addition, we can also have make-to-order pasta and pizza a la carte style.
Appetisers and sides include cheese platters, grilled zucchini, smoked salmon and more. Condiments include various pickles, dressings, comfit and oils.
Chef at the roasted lamb station.
The juicy, aromatic roasted lamb shoulder looking seductive under the warm glow of the orangey lamp ;-D
The tender, juicy and richly flavoursome slice of lamb shoulder was served with a choice of Rosemary, garlic and mint sauce. I like this delicious lamb.
Herbs Crust Salmon with Hollandaise Sauce.
Roasted Tenderloin Beef with Shallot Reduction.
I like this Chicken Picata with Tomato Salsa. The meaty chunks of tender flavoursome chicken thigh were wrapped in eggy batter and mildly savoury Parmesan cheese. Pan seared and baked. Yums!
Aglio Olio pasta which I ate with Arabiatta Prawn Sauce.
Chef Adnan making my pizza order with the wood fired oven.
The freshly baked Hawaiian pizza.
The meat lovers' pizza.
The fruit and dessert station.
There's a lot to choose from but my tummy only had space left for a few sweet nibbles. I am jealous of those petite ladies who have dessert stomachs.
