"Buka Puasa Ramadhan" with 101 Tok Wan Recipes @ VISTANA HOTEL PENANG

Invited Review

Here comes the annual Bulan Puasa Ramadhan again which is the time our fellow Muslim devotees will commit their fasting.    In conjunction of the holy month, Vistana will be offering a very competitive price for their Ramadhan theme "Tok Wan 101 Recipes" buffet.

Thanks to Vistana Hotel Penang for hosting us for the evening

 Without further ado,  below are the pictures to tickle your taste buds.   I guarantee you guys will be spoilt for choices available at Vistana's Ramadhan Buffet Line.

Please take note that I will not review every single dish due to the abundance of food available but then I will bold the ones that are worth going for.

For those who loves their vegetables fresh, here are variety of ulam for you to opt for and go with  dressings  of  your  selection.    My  personal  favourite  dressing  would  always be the Sambal Belacan but it's good to try something out of the ordinary at times like  the  authentic Malay Sambal Kicap Limau Kasturi, Budu & Cincaluk.

Ulam-Ulaman Tempatan (Local Salad)

 Ulam Raja, Ulam Pegaga, Daun Selon, Timun, Kacang Panjang, Kacang Botol, Petai, Tomato, Bendi, Kobis, Jantung Pisang, Daun Kaduk with different dressing such as Sambal Belacan Asli, Sambal Kicap Limau Kasturi, Budu & Cincaluk.

Aside from having ulam, there also have vibrant colours of appetising kerabu to give your meal a refreshing start.

Who else loves Papadum?  Make sure you help yourself with extra pieces of their crispy Papadum.

Some live performance by the uncle from the Murtabak stall.

Their Assam Laksa is something that should not be missed as it is one of their signature dish.  

Not to neglect their Sup Daging Periuk Besar which were simmered to its optimum which allows the robust flavours and spices to tantalize your tastebuds.  Definitely a must have!

Warung-warung (Stalls)

 Pasembur Campuran (Ubi Kentang, Telur, Timun, Sengkuang, Taugeh, Kek Ikan, Sosej, Tauhu & Cucur Udang), Kerang Kukus, Murtabak (Murtabak Ayam, Sambal Bawang, Dalcha & Bawang Jeruk), Char Koay Teow, Asam Laksa, Sup Daging Periuk Besar, Ais Kacang Pelangi (Krim Jagung, Kacang Merah, Buah Nau, Cincau, Sagu Mata Ikan, Susu Sejat, Agar-agar, Sirap Gula Melaka, Sirap Ros,Coconut Milk) & Teh Tarik.

Another major attraction that will be set up and BBQ on the spot outdoor by Vistana this year besides their Char Koay Teow.  Really like how they prepare several types of marinate , each of the different marinate has its own distinctive taste.  Personal favourites goes to their marinated fishes.

Warung Bakar (BBQ Stall)

 2 Jenis Ikan, Ayam, Daging, Kambing, served with Sos Lada Hitam, Sambal Merah & Air Asam.

Seafood lover should not miss their Rebung Gulai Sotong, Daging Rendang and Ayam Goreng Berempah.  Those are the few dishes that us diners enjoyed the most.  Good to go with either type of the rice selections.

Pengat Pisang was boiled to the perfect consistency with mouthful of bananas.  Definitely one of the best dessert available which is also why we had a second bowl despite our bloated tummy but no matter what always remember to have room for desserts.

Not to forget their Bubur Pulut Hitam which was just as palatable.

Needless I say more?  The colours themselves already presented how mouthwatering all these puddings and jellies were.
