When you think of a perfect Ramadan evening, what comes to mind? For many, it’s the sound of a live Ghazal performance drifting through the air, the sight of twinkling fairy lights reflecting off elegant marquee tents and the unmistakable, mouth-watering aroma of Kambing Golek and Lamb Kuzi simmering nearby.
This year, the Palm Garden Hotel in Putrajaya is turning that vision into a reality with their Gerbang Selera Ramadan showcase. Running from 19 February to 19 March 2026, this isn’t just another hotel buffet; it’s a full-sensory tribute to Malaysian heritage and the spirit of togetherness.
A Feast for the Truly Hungry
The sheer scale of the spread is impressive, featuring over 100 selections that range from nostalgic village favourites to modern treats. If you’re a fan of traditional “large wok” cooking, the Fish Curry and Gulai Lemak Udang Nenas are absolute must-tries.
For those who love the theatre of live cooking, the hotel has set up vibrant stalls between their grand event spaces. You can wander from the Mamak Corner for a plate of smoky Char Kuay Teow to the Grilled Counter for some Portuguese-style Ikan Bakar, or grab a few skewers of juicy Satay at the dedicated stall.
The King of Fruits Takes Centre Stage
What truly sets this year apart is the spotlight on durian. Instead of just serving the fruit, the pastry team has crafted speciality desserts that are already causing a stir:
Durian Meringue Tart: A delicate, crispy-creamy fusion
Serawa Durian: Rich, sweet and comforting
The Secret Combo: Pro-tip – try pairing their famous Bread and Butter Pudding with a generous ladle of Serawa Durian. It’s a match made in heaven.
