PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur
Thyme, the all-day dining restaurant at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur, has its Bucked Out Seafood Buffet happening every Sunday evening. What makes this buffet stand out is its interactive, sharing concept. Instead of the usual buffet spread, you can pick up a bucket and select your choice of fresh seafood from a wide selection. There’s everything from plump shrimp to shellfish, clams, crabs, slipper lobsters, escalopes, and fish. Once you’ve filled your bucket, the chefs cook your selection in the kitchen, after which the staff will serve it piping hot on a tray for your table to share.
It’s a fun and communal way to dine, perfect for couples, groups or families who enjoy sharing food and trying different flavours. The whole process feels a bit like a seafood market meets a live kitchen, and it definitely adds a sense of excitement to the meal.
One of the unique features here is the option to choose how your seafood is cooked. Whether you prefer the bold spices of Malay cuisine, the delicate touch of Japanese flavours, the comforting tastes of Chinese cooking, or the aromatic spices of Indian dishes, the chefs are happy to accommodate. This flexibility means you can mix and match, trying your seafood in different styles with each round.
Beyond the buckets, the buffet also features a variety of local and international dishes. There’s a sashimi and sushi station for those who love Japanese raw fish, pizza, roast meats, as well as Indian, Chinese and Western dishes. If you’re a sweet tooth, there’s an ice cream station and a plethora of local and Western desserts. The spread is pretty extensive, so there’s something for everyone, even if seafood isn’t your main thing. There are also live oysters, which are freshly shucked for you on the spot, while the nyonya laksa is a must-try!
A real standout was the Boston Lobster, which is included for every diner (one per pax). You can choose to have it cooked thermidor style (rich, creamy, and decadent) or grilled with zesty lemon butter.
The atmosphere at Thyme is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of space for groups and families. The open kitchen setup adds a bit of theatre to the experience, and the staff are friendly and happy to explain the different options if you’re unsure what to try next.
The buffet runs every Sunday from 6:30pm to 10:30pm. It’s priced at MYR238 nett per adult and MYR119 nett for children aged 6 to 11 years. Reservations are recommended.

Here are our thoughts on the list above.
The seafood at most of the hotels was incredibly fresh! We were most impressed by the wide array of seafood on ice at Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara and Hilton Kuala Lumpur.
If you’re a fan of oysters, the selection of oysters at Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara was a cut above the rest (try the fine de claire!)
If you like lobsters, Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara and Parkroyal Collection KL would be your best bet.
We were impressed by the offerings at newcomer Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur, and Sheraton Petaling Jaya, which offered seafood buffets at surprisingly accessible prices!
If you prefer cooked seafood, The Westin Kuala Lumpur, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur, and Parkroyal Collection KL have chefs on hand to cook your seafood in your preferred sauce.
If you like caviar, or pasta, head over to Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur.
If you like premium/ French/ European cheeses, Hilton Kuala Lumpur and Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown (they also have real honeycomb, and fresh strawberries with cream!) have wonderful selections of cheeses!
