A Closer Look at Hotel Excelsior’s Ramadan Buffet: Jom Iftar Citarasa Excelsior

At Hotel Excelsior Ipoh’s Dulang Coffee House, the Jom Iftar Citarasa Excelsior buffet focuses on traditional local cuisine, reasonable pricing, and an ambiance that strikes the right balance between comfort and practicality, making it well-suited for families, corporate groups, and regular diners alike.

Led by Executive Chef Faizul Yusof, the kitchen has structured the buffet with balance in mind rather than excess.

Structured Variety

The buffet features:

  • 10 main dishes
  • 30 appetisers
  • 20 desserts
  • .
    What adds depth to the dining experience is the four-menu rotation system. The dishes change daily, meaning the selection evolves across the week. For guests who plan repeated visits, this arrangement prevents repetition, also keeps the presentation relevant throughout the month of Ramadan.

Along with it, Bubur Kacang Hijau (or another option) offers a gentle, slightly sweet option. These practical, comforting openers ease diners to truly enjoy the yummy food.

    Grill Section

    As with previous Ramadan buffet dinners at Hotel Excelsior Ipoh, the grill-cum-carving station remains a focal point. Depending on the booking volume for each evening, guests are served either grilled lamb shoulder or a whole grilled lamb. Rather than being a fixed showpiece, the grill offering adapts to demand. This ensures better portion control and freshness.
