Yam Hua Plee Sai Goong- Banana Flower Spicy Salad amongst Glass Noodles

Lab Gai- Spicy Minced Chicken Salad amongst Roasted Rice together with Chili Powder

Yam Talay- Spicy Seafood Salad amongst Fresh Herbs together with Lime Spicy Dressing

Ignite your palate amongst the array of spicy, sugariness together with sour Starters. The eating seat scored good this circular amongst its Starters, all were beyond amazing. Banana Flower Spicy Salad amongst Glass Noodles was i of the dishes that left me the deepest impression. We looked downward on the dish at outset but nosotros were together with then proven wrong. The Glass Noodles were well-prepared, springy but non wirey-hard; well-equipped amongst flavors. It hitting our palate amongst rigid chili kick, the expertly-used Herbs together with Spices complemented the dish well. Another lip-numbingly hot dish was Spicy Minced Chicken Salad. It has the correct flavors- savory, hot amongst a gentle acidic tilt; enhanced amongst thinly julienned Kaffir Lime Leaves. The dish is best enjoyed amongst fresh Lettuce. These Starters, however, are to endeavor amongst care, particularly the heat-intolerant. 

Tom Yam Goong- Spicy Prawn Soup amongst Lemongrass together with Galangal Lime Juice

Geang Juide Mara Sai Gai- Clear Spicy Soup

We were deeply amazed amongst the avalanche of flavors from the Starters but the culinary squad of Swez Brasserie continues to print us amongst its Tom Yam Goong. They were real generous amongst the Shrimps- they were used to fully accentuate the flavors of the crustacean together with the broth was the commutation to success. We were stroke past times a rigid jounce of sourness followed past times a fair whack of estrus together with a mellow seafood-sweetness. The soup packs a punch amongst robust flavors. If I were to nitpick, I would prefer the Lemongrass flavour to endure slightly to a greater extent than noticeable. Geang Juide Mara Sai Gai, is unopen to other not-so-spicy soup offered past times the restaurant.

Geang Keaw Whan Gai- Green Curry Chicken amongst Eggplants together with Basil

Phad Preaw Whan Talay- Crispy Seafood amongst Sweet & Sour Sauce

Tao Hoo Lod Phad Khuenchaiy- Stir Fried Tofu amongst Celery together with Oyster Sauce

Pla Kapong Phad Khuenchaiy- Stir Fried Snapper amongst Celery & Oyster Sauce

Phat Khi Mao Kai- Stir Fried Spicy Minced Chicken amongst Basil

Aplenty of mains available on our view but non all of them were good. Some dishes lacked of the Thai-elements which I idea they may non check for the theme. For example, Green Curry Chicken was a disappointingly-average dish. It was a lilliputian diluted, the curry needs to endure thicker together with possessed the Green Curry smell together with sweetness. Stir-Fried Tofu was okay but the dish gave me an impression that it was a Chinese dish instead of Thai-influenced dish. Crispy Seafood amongst Sweet together with Sour Sauce, on the other hand, was decent. The deep fried Shrimps, Squids together with Fish were good coated amongst Sweet together with Sour Sauce. The dish that took the spotlight was Stir Fried Spicy Minced Chicken amongst Basil. It possessed the quintessential flavors amongst generous total of Garlic together with Onions added; best agency to savor the dish is to twine inwards fresh Lettuce.

Kao Neaw Mamuang- Mango Sticky Rice

Tab Tim Krob- Water Chestnut amongst Jackfruit inwards Coconut Syrup

Sakhuu Piak Maphrao Awn- Sago Pudding amongst immature Coconut Flesh

Packthong Sangkaya- Steamed Egg Custard inwards Pumpkin

Adding farther enjoyment to the buffet spread volition endure a delicious showcase of Thai desserts. Quell the sultry estrus amongst Tab Tim Krob, i of the most welcomed Thai desserts inwards Malaysia. Swez Brasserie's rendition of Tab Tim Krob was thicker together with creamier, made toothsome past times the crunchy Chestnut together with sugariness Jackfruit. Equally goodness volition endure Sangkaya- steamed Egg Custard encased inwards a Pumpkin. The smooth, rich together with creamy texture of the dessert is suitable for every historic menses group. It was non saccharine sugariness but amongst a mellow of Pumpkin-sweetness. Other desserts similar Mango Sticky Rice, Sago Pudding are also available.

Sup Gearbox 

Chicken Shawarma 

Spiced Pilau Rice

Nasi Lemak Kukus alongside Condiments

We could non hold back to boundary into queue to endeavor their highlights for this year's Ramadhan Buffet. We starting fourth dimension had Nasi Lemak Kukus- pipage hot Nasi Lemak served alongside their lip-smacking together with sweat-inducing Chili Paste. We completed ours alongside a duet of Ayam Goreng Berempah/ Spiced Fried Chicken, Ikan Bilis, Hard Boiled Eggs together with sliced Cucumbers. The Chili glue was teeming alongside flavors, though veering towards the sweeter side; complemented the crispy-succulent Fried Chicken perfectly. Another must-try detail would last their Roasted Whole Lamb. It was expertly executed to the correct doneness together with flavors. We had a few juicy cuts, paired alongside their home-made Brown sauce (though nosotros would prefer Mint sauce). It is a sin to missy the invigorating Sup Gearbox, packed alongside a flavorful together with herbaceous punch. Get the correct spell together with ane mightiness larn to suck the marrow up. Shawarma was keen but nosotros had it sans the Pita bread. The tender Chicken pieces were goodness to become alongside a handful of greens; nosotros had it every bit though nosotros were having salad. 

Ulam- Ulaman Serantau

Fish Salad

Jelatah

Seafood on Ice- Spanner Crabs, Prawns, Mussels, Scallops

Ketupat together with Serunding Ayam 

The park Seafood on Ice fare was at that spot but nosotros idea the Shrimps could last fresher. Expect no less from the culinary squad of Swez Brasserie when it comes to Sambal together with Serunding. The flaky meat floss alongside a hint of Coconut was the perfect condiment to the soft together with chewy mucilaginous rice Ketupat. 

Wok Fried Prawns alongside Butter Sauce 

Stir Fried Crab alongside Basil Leaves

Grilled Fish alongside Basil Pesto Sauce

Thai Yellow Chicken Curry 

Pucuk Ubi masak Lemak Putih

 Ayam Pongteh

We were left underwhelmed past times the mains. Ayam Pongteh did non appeal to us from its soft brownish hue. As expected, flavors were pallid together with for certain cuts of the Chicken were likewise crude oil together with difficult to the bite. Pucuk Ubi Masak Lemak was a misnomer, the greens were non Tapioca leaves. The texture was likewise crude oil together with tin sack last easily recognized past times starting fourth dimension glance. Both the texture together with season did non polish either. Daging Masak Hitam on the other hand, was delicious. Somewhat akin to Beef Rendang, the meat was nicely spiced together with carefully cooked. The meat was at the correct texture together with flavors were amazing. Equally delectable was Grilled Fish alongside Basil Pesto sauce. The pristine white Fish was fresh together with tender, pigeon tailing perfectly alongside the herbaceous sauce. It would last amend if the dish look to last less-greasy. 

Assorted Kuih Muih

Cream Puffs 

Fruit Tarts

Mini Pavlova 

Tiramisu/ Coffee Mousse 

Assorted French Pastries

Banana Tart

We ended the repast alongside a sweetness note. Choices were aplenty together with nosotros did non stimulate create to endeavor every unmarried detail on offer. Banana Mille Feuille (not shown inward photo) left me alongside the deepest impression, it possessed the quintessential Banana flavor, sheathed nether a sparse sail of Mille Feuille. We were overwhelmed past times the buttery-flaky Mille Feuille together with non overly sweeten Banana filling. It was served to us warm but nosotros recommend to serve it alongside a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. 

*Conclusion: Having tasted Swez Brasserie's Ramadhan Buffet Dinner 2 years back, nosotros idea this year's selection paled inward comparing to a duet years back. We idea they could create amend together with promise that they are able to fine-tune their offerings earlier the actual Ramadhan Buffet Dinner.*

Equally skillful was the Spaghetti Seafood Napolinata, though a trivial dry out too difficult on the texture, the Napolinata sauce was toothsome. It had a medley of sweet, sour too savory notes within, complementing the Pasta perfectly.
