With Christmas just around the corner, Dorsett Kuala Lumpur is hosting a preview event to showcase its festive offerings later this month. The yuletide-themed dinner is served at Checkers Café, the hotel's all-day dining restaurant at Level 1. In celebration of the fact that international travel is now possible, the buffet theme this year is "Round-The-World in 80 Minutes". In this spirit, the menu consists of dishes from many countries around the world. The main attraction this evening is obviously the Roasted Tom Turkey. This poultry dish is served with stuffings, sausages and roasted vegetables. Diners can choose from a variety of condiments such as giblet gravy, cranberry sauce and black pepper sauce. After a wholesome serving at the carving station, whet your appetite with a variety of cuisines on chafing dishes. Popular ones include Nasi Briyani (Malaysian), Ayam Masak Kuzi (Malaysian), Green Prawn Curry (Thai), Thurkar Dhall (Indian) and Mutton Stew (Pakistani). Also served this evening are Lemon Butter Grilled Fish (British), Cauliflower Gratin (French), Eggplant Moussaka (Greek), Mussel Butter Paprika (Hungarian), Buffalo Chicken Wings (American) and Salt-Crusted Baked Salmon (Australian). Between mouthful of flavorful food, cleanse your palate with Penne Pasta Salad, Apple Salad and Garden Salad at the salad bar. As for cold cuts, there are sliced chicken, meat rolls, smoked salmon and offal just to name a few. Be sure not to pass over the enticing cheese platter. Dried raisins and apricots are meant to go with the assorted cheeses. The selection of pastries is another attractive aspect of the yuletide-theme menu. Delight your sweet tooth with bite-sized Lemon Meringue Pie and Christmas Cookies! As per Christmas tradition, there are also Cinnamon Apple Pie, Christmas Fruit Cake and Cream Cheese Carrot Cake. Walnut Fudge Cake and Chocolate Yule Log are popular during Christmas too. The latter is actually a sponge cake that is decorated to resemble an actual Yule log. Last but not least, help yourself to a slice of Chocolate Cake. Should you prefer something creamy, the Crème Brûlée is an excellent choice too! The actual dinners will be served on Christmas Eve (24 December 2022) and New Year's Eve (31 December 2022). Children and senior citizens enjoy 30% discount. On both evenings, the hotel has arranged a series of activities to keep diners entertained. Name: Checkers Café
