Restaurant Review :- Ramadhan Buffet at Grand Lexis Port Dickson

Aneka Rasa Ramadhan Buffet at Duyung Restaurant

Every year during the Holy Month of Ramadhan, most hotels or food outlets will set up buffets for the Muslim guest and friends to break fast to. Some hotels like to have theme dinners like P. Ramlee, Balik Kampung and so on. The reason I like going to Ramadhan Buffets is the same as why I like to go to the Bazaar Ramadhan. There is always new food to taste as most hotels will showcase their best and try to be different from the rest.

This year I went to the Grand Lexis Port Dickson to sample their Ramadhan Fare. The buffet was served in the Duyung Restaurant, which is quite small. So if you intend to bring a large group, you better make reservations. There are a lot of varieties to choose from.

There’s a large table loaded with all types of salads, ulam, sambal and appetizers. For the cold drinks there are seven types to choose from. They have even added the Chocolate Milk for the kids. For dessert or something sweet to open the fast with there’s lots of kuih, jelly, pastries and even a chocolate fountain.


For the Main course you will have about 12 dishes to choose from with has something of everything. From Western Dishes, Chinese Dishes and Malay Dishes. There was even Vegetable Tempura on the buffet.

This is not the end. Walk outside and you will find stalls of Noodle Soup, Murtabak, Satay, Ikan Bakar, Roasted Lamb, Banana Fritters and a cook to order pasta station.

A must try is their Nyonya Assam Pedas. Not too spicy but very nice.


A point to note their Ramadhan Buffet ends on the 28th July 2013. Priced at RM88.00 nett adults and RM43.00 nett child.

INTO THE WILD: Guerilla Marketing Breaks the Mold

Traditional marketing isn’t going away and why should it? It still works when used correctly and strategically. But sometimes it helps to think outside of the traditional marketing box. Guerilla marketing relies on being creative and loud without the big budget. Five campaigns this year employed guerilla marketing beautifully with dynamic promotions utilizing 3D projection mapping, bagvertising, interactive billboards, rainvertising and ambient advertising.

Sights and Sound of Bazaar Ramadhan

This month Muslims around the world will be celebrating the Holy month of Ramadhan. This is when they would fast between sunrise till sunset. The month of Ramadhan means alot to some. Its a time devoted to spiritual contemplation and contemplate the suffering of others. Apart from that to some the Ramadhan signify that Hari Raya Puasa is just around the corner, especially for the little ones. The litle ones look forward to the nice Raya cloths and the little green packets filled with money. For me the fasting month is an opportunity to try food that is quite hard to come by. Cause during the month of Ramadhan food stalls will be set up selling mouth-watering food and drinks to break fast with. The area where the stalls are set up is usually in a large carpark or an open field. So far the biggest and best Bazaar was at the Shah Alam Stadium in Batu 13 Shah Alam. They took most of the carpark and there are hundreds of stalls of every kind of food and beverage.

There you can find usual ‘buka puasa' food, such as ‘murtabak', ‘roti John', chicken rice. There is also other traditional specialties like the nasi kerabu' and ‘nasi minyak' served with a variety of dishes. My favourite will be the "Sambal Ikan Bilis Petai" Yummy!!! At the Bazaar look out for the stall selling Ayam Golek. Its skewered whole chicken slowly roasted over gas and charcoal in a rotational movement. On normal months its hard to find this dish. At the Ayam Golek stall also look out for their Honey Roasted Chicken Wings. Its yummy Apart from food there are also stalls selling a colourful display of beverages. You will find sugar cane, coconut, soya bean and many more.

Stalls are normally set up at about 3 in the afternoon as they want to capture people that leave from work at 5. And for dessert you will findlots of local kuih like kuih ketayap, onde onde and kuih cara. So the place gets very busy and crowded around 5.30 till 6.30pm. So if you have the chance come early thats when you don't have to rush and get first choice of the goodies. Don't expect to see any dining area or chairs around as the foods were made to be taken away.

So if you are in Malaysia during the fasting month head over to the Bazzar Ramadhan and you will not be disappointed.
