Cinnamon Coffee House, One World Hotel: Aneka Selera Kayanganku Promotion for Buka Puasa!

Spoilt for Choices at Aneka Selera Kayanganku Feast!

I have literally run out of words for buffets! Mind-boggling? Plethora? Kaleidoscope? The buffets in town are just getting bigger with more choices each year. This time, I landed in One World Hotel at Cinnamon Coffee House for their renowned spread of sumptuous buffet. Perfectly in time to usher in the Buka Puasa month, One World Hotel invites guests to experience the best of Malaysian delights synonymous with their theme of Aneka Selera Kayanganku. From 1 July to 8 August, foodies are treated to an amazing spread of home-cooked traditional favorites, delectable Chinese dishes, tempting Indian cuisine and Malaysian hawker food. It is an unforgettable feast for the eyes as well as the palate with a diverse menu of over 100 dishes!

Prior to my last year visit to Cinnamon Coffee House, this year’s feast certainly outdo the one last year! More varieties with more live action stations, it is an incredible feast for sight and tummy. My advice is to go easy and taste a small portion of each if you love varieties. Cinnamon Coffee House’s ambience is well spaced and elegantly designed. Enjoying a long and leisure meal here is great after a long day of fasting. Let’s hit the buffet to see the unbelievable spread…

One will be greeted by the delectable station that has Roast New Zealand Whole Lamb with Briyani Rice and Vegetables served with Mint Sauce, Black Pepper Sauce or Mushroom Sauce. Savor pieces of tender lamb and pile on the sauces. Besides lamb, the coffee house features Roast Whole Deer served every Saturday night!

Hitting the salad and appetizer bar, choosing a few will be difficult as there are plenty of choices from Umai Umai, Kerabu Telur, Kerabu Pucuk Paku, Jelatah Harian, Acar Buah, Kerabu Mangga & Betik Muda , Kerabu Ayam to Smoked Chicken Platter with Mixed Pickles, Potato Salad with Shrimp, Shredded Duck Salad with Lemongrass, Shrimp and Honeydew Salad, Jelly Fish with Spicy Sauce and Crushed Peanut, Assorted Cold Cuts and Condiments.

Even sambals choices are plenty like Sambal Tempoyak, Budu, Belacan, Cincaluk, Hijau, Chili Manis, Mangga Pedas, Kicap Pedas, Asam Jawa and Thai Chili.

Make sure to hit the station serving up my all-time-favorite Lemang, Ketupat Palas, Nasi Himpit and Serunding. There is just something so delicious about savoring soft sticky rice with dried spiced up Serunding and I always make sure to savor this with the thick rich gravy of Rendang for full satisfaction.

Make a stop to pick up a little bit of Nasi Kerabu Berlauk, Nasi Ulam, Nasi Dagang, Daging Deng Deng, Otak Otak, Pulut Ikat Bersantan, Roti Jala and Chicken Curry available at The Chef’s Specialties Corner. I had a spoonful of all the rice together with Rendang Daging, Sambal Sotong,  Telur Masin and Sambals and found myself yearning for more…

Seeking out the live stations, one is treated to a plethora of dishes to choose from. Making rounds after rounds, I stared in awe at the luscious spread of hawker stalls offering items such as Satay, Roti John, Shawarma, Dim Sum, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Yong Tau Foo, Popiah Basah, Roti Canai and Murtabak add on to your dining pleasure. Not forgetting ala minute dishes prepared on the spot are Char Kway Teow, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Mee Mamak, Chinese Ipoh Noodle Soup and Fried Mee Hoon.

One stall worth visiting is definitely the Goreng Berempah station where succulent Burung Puyuh and Chicken Wings are well marinated and fried to a delicious hue! Don’t ask me but I lost count of how many quails I had that night…

There is also an Aneka Panggang station featuring Squid, Crab, Lamb Shoulder, Cencaru, Tenggiri, Kembung, Pari, Terubuk, Ayam Percik and Ikan Percik. Another station features an array of deep fried savory and sweet snacks like Pisang Goreng, Sukun Goreng, Cempedak Goreng, Cucur Kodok Pisang and Cucur Udang.

High marks go to their freshly made Apom with Peanuts, Red Beans or Corn, Ice Cream Goreng and the local Aneka Kuih Muihs. My apom was doused with plenty of crushed peanuts, corn and sugar, making it so good and creamy while the hot freshly Fried Ice Cream is marvelous with a crispy bead layer and cold creamy ice cream inside. I drizzled some melted chocolate over for extra pleasures!

It’s an enormous buffet out to please many! In fact, the above is just a fraction of what they have to offer. With six different menus daily, it would still be hard to taste everything. Check out Cinnamon Coffee House to enjoy a scrumptious feast of Aneka Selera Kayanganku to break fast this holy month. There are ample parking spaces and surau facility available.
