In line with the Seenak Citarasa Malaysia theme, local favourites such as Rojak and Cendol will also be served as part of the buffet.
The décor will also feature malay traditional styled props in line with the theme.
Empire Hotel Subang group general manager Ho Ricky said there will be 13 states of Malaysia flags set-up at the buffet spread to let diners know where the dishes originated from or where it is popular.
“It will be almost like a complete taste of Malaysian cuisine where you get to sample a specialty from each of the 13 states in one dinner.
“We want to give our clients a complete traditional Malay cuisine dining experience that captures the best of 13 states, presented by our talented Chef Syed Alsagoff and his team,” he said.
Executive chef Syed Zainuddin Alsagoff hopes to highlight the heritage of the 13 states while giving a twist to traditional recipes.
“I created a fusion of recipes from different states.
“One example is the Ayam Golek Percik, the Kelantan sauce is whitish or brownish while the Perak one is reddish; I created a fusion of both recipes and the result is a pinkish gravy,” he said.
For kids, he recommends the Ayam Masak Ros from Johor and Laksam from Kelantan as it is not too spicy.
Homemade cookies can also be bought from the restaurant.
Diners will be entertained by a Ghazal band performing nightly.
Diners will also stand a chance to win a Hermes watch worth about RM12k by taking part in a contest organised during the period.
The Seenak Citarasa Malaysia buffet dinner is priced at RM108++ for adults and RM88++ for children and senior citizens.
