One after another festive hitting alternate months and of course, another big festive season is coming up that many Malaysians looking forward for. Starting next week, it will be the starting week of Ramandan week whereby most of the Muslim will be fasting a month before Hari Raya a month later. Mosaic.

Of course years over years, many restaurants especially hoteliers have taken the opportunity to promote their best dishes to cater for all Muslim friends in Malaysia. Over the years and a newly refurbish restaurant that since opens its door to public had maintain its quality of food till date which is Mosaic that located at Ground Floor of Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

With their new outlook, that provides comfort and contemporary ambience is one of the place that you would seriously consider to host many of your family, friends or company gathering here.

Starting off with their cheeze counter with variety to choose from along with fresh bread at the side.

One of it is their Chocolate & Macaroons counter as at, Mandarin Oriental is also pretty famous for their Macaroons.

I have always admire on their buffet selection that is not too huge to walk around yet most of them are good, as with a few sections to be paying attention at.

Follow by fresh Japanese section that most of us would love it, that is always filled with fresh Salmon, Tuna, Oyster, and a few others more. . .

Make two steps behind you will reach a little island on the center which is filled with salad and dressing with a few ingredietns to add on along with some little introduction of Mediterranean cuisine like Huumus and a few more.

Not only that, in this little island also sits one of the most important cuisine for the rest of the month which is all our local dishes for Ramadan will be available here. Ranging from Ayam Masak Merah . . .

For mains they have more than 50 traditional delights to go for such as Lemang, Ayam Kurma Seri Melayu, Sambal Udang PEtai, Udang Galah Lemak Cili Api, Ikan Bakar and many more. .

Rojak – filled with mixture of vegetable and top with satay gravy. .

Steam Ketupat to go along with Rendang. .

Head a little further up,you will reach one of our spices counter which is Indian Cuisine. I love the food here as the spices of gravy is strong enough to make the umph and most of the thick enough to go along with rice or nan.

When you are in Mosiac dining, this is one of my all time favourite place that I rarely miss or never miss before.

Their BBQ/ Grilled section. You can choose any of the selection available for the day, then take other food at other counter and come back bout 5-10 minutes to collect your fresh ready cook dishes. The timing depends on how much order is being in queue. At times can take as long as half hour.

Roast Lamb . .

Love their Satay, well marinated. .

After this counter, you will reach more Asian Chinese cuisine, with stir fried vegetable,

So far I love their soup too. It really depends as it comes with soup of the day . .

Last food counter of the round will fall into Italian.

After you take one whole round, you will finally comes to the dessert section. Which will be a place must visit all our heavy meal.

The variety of dessert here is good enough to kill me off with just a few items.

And their in-house Gelato is also to hunt for .. I took all 5 flavours available for the night and Mango is one of my favourite.

If you are looking for a nice place to dine in KL during Ramadan Month, Mosiac is one of my recommendation place for you to Buka Puasa.

Mosaic @ Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

21/09/2011 5 Comments

I have been to Mandarin Oriental- Mosaic couple of times with my previous company hosting many events at this place. Never did I really notice this place or even when its under renovation. Mosaic had recently just open its door to public to this newly award wining restaurant inside Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Kuala Lumpur, with its posh design by a Japanese design company.

Mosiac with its elegant interior reflecting the Pernanakan Culture with its collaborative finishing, with customise flooring, intricate hanging pewter lights.

I just love the whole interior of the place, makes it a perfect posh place for dining.

Cushion section is comfortable that can fit easily 5 person like a club area that gives you a feel like privacy in this area.

I must say, they got a great selection of food in their buffet spread ranging from Italian, local, Japanese, Indian and a few more other choices, that lead by Chef de Cuisine Chef Raymond Abour Jeily.

I always start my buffet with greens first and I am amaze with their wide selection of veggie, dressing, and types of oil for you to play and mix around on your salad. I am enjoying this section very much that makes me go 2 rounds before I hit the mains.

Japanese section is all fresh, from oyster, to sushi and smoked salmon.

On their offering of North Indian Cuisine, are well cook with the curry are not too watery which is just thick enough to go along with Tandoori chicken, lamb, prawn with naan.

Another section that I like with available meat to choose from, lamb, and beef is my preferred choice .

For their grill section, again I still prefer their lamb and beef, another thing must not miss is the cheeze sausage.

Like on their Italian range with both bologna and white sauce all cook in the way as I like.

Asian soupy section.

Comes to desert, this is one hugeeee macaroons

Local Kuih

This desert section looks one of the coolest of all on how they display the desert in this drawer concept that makes everything look so good!

By the end of the night, I was full to the max as most of the food here are nice, and I would say that the buffet spread offering here in terms of quality are much better than a few places that I have tried so far. Price wise will be:

RM88++ per person (lunch)

RM108++ per person (dinner from Sunday to Thursday)

RM128++ per person (dinner on Friday & Saturday)

If you are asking me where can get nice buffet, certainly Mosaic will be in one of my recommended list~
