As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Grand Hyatt Singapore is set to welcome guests with a heartwarming iftar buffet at StraitsKitchen, the city’s first Halal-certified buffet restaurant in a five-star hotel. From 2 March to 31 March 2025, StraitsKitchen will offer a meticulously curated dining experience that blends authentic Singaporean flavours with Middle Eastern cuisine, creating a vibrant and communal atmosphere for breaking fast.
A Feast of Local and Middle Eastern Delights
The iftar buffet at StraitsKitchen celebrates tradition, generosity, and unity. Under the guidance of Chef Mohamad Mohamed Abdelmoety Ahmed, Chef Khairul Akmal Bin Zakaria, and Chef de Cuisine Nelson Wong, the culinary team has prepared a menu that showcases the best of both local and Middle Eastern cuisines.
The dining experience begins with a selection of traditional mezze, including the smoky richness of baba ghanoush and the silky smoothness of hummus, served with warm pita bread. These appetisers set the tone for a comforting and indulgent meal.
For the main course, guests can enjoy a variety of heartwarming dishes that highlight the vibrant flavours of Malay and Arabic traditions. The Malay barbeque station is a guest favourite, serving up succulent chicken, beef, and mutton satay accompanied by warm peanut sauce and traditional rice cakes. Meanwhile, the shawarma station offers freshly carved chicken shawarma wrapped in warm pita, topped with crisp lettuce, onions, and tahini sauce, bringing the taste of Middle Eastern street food to your plate.
Seafood lovers will be delighted with dishes like Ikan Bakar, where sustainable barramundi is grilled to perfection in a banana leaf and slathered with sambal, and Udang Belado, a fiery tiger prawn stir-fry coated in homemade belado sauce. For those craving hearty, spice-laden mains, the Ayam Buah Keluak and Beef Rendang are must-tries, offering rich, earthy flavours that are deeply satisfying.
An Expanded Dinner Buffet with Middle Eastern Specialties
In the evening, the Ramadan dinner buffet at StraitsKitchen becomes even more lavish, featuring an expanded selection of Middle Eastern specialities. Guests can indulge in dishes like Lamb Mandi, a fragrant steamed basmati rice dish with saffron and slow-cooked lamb, topped with pine nuts and coriander, and Sayaduyah Rice, a hearty Arabic dish of jasmine rice cooked with shrimp, barramundi, and warm Arabic spices.
The Seafood on Ice station also becomes more indulgent in the evening, featuring slipper lobster, mussels, and clams alongside the black tiger prawns available throughout the day. For those who prefer lighter options, the buffet includes a variety of salads, such as tabbouleh, fattoush, and tzatziki, as well as warak enab, grape leaves stuffed with Arabic-spiced rice and raisins.
A Sweet Ending to Your Iftar Experience
No iftar meal is complete without a selection of handcrafted desserts, and StraitsKitchen does not disappoint. Guests can indulge in the flaky layers of baklava, filled with crushed nuts and drizzled with Arabic syrup, or the dense, honey-soaked basbousa, topped with toasted hazelnuts. Traditional Southeast Asian desserts like Pulut Hitam, Goreng Pisang, and Bubur Cha Cha are also available, offering a sweet and cooling end to the meal.
To add a touch of indulgence, the buffet features a Date Bazaar, showcasing premium dates across the Middle East and North Africa. Guests can sample the rich, caramel-like Ajwa from Saudi Arabia, the prized Medjoul from Jordan and Palestine, and the delicate Deglet Nour from Tunisia. Complementing these are natural dried figs and apricots from Turkey, making for a truly luxurious dining experience.
A Comfortable Worship Experience
Grand Hyatt Singapore ensures guests can easily observe their religious duties by providing a dedicated prayer room. Thoughtfully arranged to accommodate both men and women, the space is fully air-conditioned and equipped with a clean ablution area, prayer mats, slippers, and telekung (prayer garments). Qurans are also available, making it a tranquil retreat for worship before or after dining.
