Curated by Chef Zaini, who boasts decades of experience in crafting authentic Malay dishes, Citarasa Nipah promises a daily rotation of delightful offerings.
Guests can look forward to a vibrant array of traditional salads, featuring everything from fiddlehead fern (pucuk paku) to fresh raw crudites (ulam-ulaman) like pennywort (pegaga) and winged beans.

“A good Malay meal is like a good story. There needs to be a variety of elements to make everything work. The sour components need a sweet opposite, rich tastes will need some sharp flavours to offset it. My goal this year is to present a complete experience of Malay food for all to enjoy.”
Chef Zaini
The highlight of any Iftar buffet is undoubtedly the whole roast lamb, and Nipah’s kambing golek is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Grilled to succulent perfection, this signature dish is best enjoyed with fluffy and fragrant beriani rice. Beyond the star attraction, the buffet boasts a delightful selection of other classic Malay dishes, including seabass dishes (siakap tiga rasa), thinly sliced beef with chili paste in a Malay-style jerky (daging dendeng berlada), and the comforting Ramadan staple, bubur lambuk.
For an extra touch of Ramadan festivity, Nipah is introducing a special highlight during the break-of-fast meal this year – the Nipah Shell Out. Marking the first time this popular communal seafood experience will be offered during Ramadan at Nipah, it promises a delectable assortment of fresh, perfectly marinated seafood. These delightful bites are lightly cooked to ensure maximum flavour retention, allowing guests to savour the natural sweetness of the prawns, lala clams, mussels, bamboo clams, and crabs. The Shell Out features three signature flavor profiles: the fiery kam heong (spicy dried shrimp paste), the sweet and tangy sweet and sour, and the rich and creamy salted egg.
Citarasa Nipah is available daily from March 12th to April 9th, 2024, from 6.30pm to 10.30pm. Adult prices are RM238+ per person, while children aged 6 to 12 can enjoy the buffet for RM114+.
