Christmas and New Year Buffet Review @ Vogue Cafe, Renaissance Kuala Lumpur

Carving a Roasted Turkey immediately brings the mood of Christmas and the reflective memories of the old year as we celebrate the New Year with family and loved ones in thanksgiving. This year, why not end your 2015 with a bang with Renaissance Kuala Lumpur with an array of delicious festive treats at Vogue Cafe, a unique buffet restaurant with live carving station and hundreds of buffet dishes available daily.

Chefs would carve and serve the turkey with roasted brussel sprouts with cranberry jam and turkey sauce. The turkey meat was soft and juicy overall with just the right flavourings.

Seafood on Ice is available here with fresh oysters, tiger prawns, mussels and more. Elana stays fit by having a daily dose of fresh shelled seafood in her diet.

Seafood and fruits make a nice first dish for me whenever I dine in a buffet restaurant. The seafood is fresh and delicious with lemon juice and sauces available.

The pasta station is filled with a big choice of types of pasta noodles and condiments for our own mixing and matching.

There are a few types of meat on ice, I personally love the rolled salmon and the tuna rolls. The other processed meat are great to make my own salad with some cheese from the house of cheese table.

If you are a cheese lover like me, you would love this. Three types of cheese were served, namely Mozzarella Cheese, Haloumi Cheese, and a mixed butter and mozzarella cheese kind of spread with crackers.

Yorkshire pudding also made its appearance. This humble pudding is really filling, that is what it is originally created for, to make you full in your first course so you will eat less of the expensive meat. However, in a buffet filled with more delicious treats, let the Yorkshire pudding be shared, for sharing is love after all.

For soup lovers, there’s a huge pot of chicken and potato soup for your soul, in this rainy monsoon season, let this warm soup fill your heart with joy and love.

Cheese Baked Broccoli is soft and taste like a pizza topping, maybe this is great for kids who won’t eat their greens as the broccoli is really soft.

Have yourself some roasted potatoes this Christmas..this is surprisingly tasty and definitely another filling dish.

Salmon Fillet with Cream Sauce is my favourite dish as I love salmon and the cream is so tasty, and yes the salmon is done just right to perfection, making it soft and juicy and not over cooked.

Vogue Cafe also includes some regional signature dishes like roasted chicken, lamb masala and stir fried vegetables, briyani rice, duck breast and more to whet the appetite and prep you for dessert. Basically, there are more choices than one can eat so choose your favourites and flow with it.

A Christmas meal must be filled with snowy Christmas cakes and puddings, chocolate and ginger bread.

At Vogue, there is no lack of that and I love all the cakes and puddings served, being a major dessert fan.

Fruit cake

There are cheese cakes, carrot cakes, fruit cakes, chocolate cakes, yule log cakes, so beautiful and colourful, be sure to leave room in your tummy for these.

I love these starry tarts, it’s quite big and filling but I just could not resist not tasting it and truly it was really good.

Finish off the meal with some ice cream and many condiments to make your own tower. It is like becoming a kid again as we all got excited adding shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and sauces in our ice cream.

Kids would go gaga with the chocolate fountain. There are some small cubed cakes to be used for this fountain, but I was really looking for fruits like strawberries, grapes or maybe even marshmallows instead. Oh well, any berries would be awesome.
