A Delightful Nusantara Ramadan Buffet Experience at Swatches Restaurant, Fraser Place Puteri Harbour
With the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, many hotels and restaurants begin showcasing special culinary experiences to celebrate the spirit of togetherness during iftar.
One of the dining destinations that recently caught our attention is Swatches Restaurant at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour, located in the beautiful waterfront area of Iskandar Puteri, Johor.
Situated on Level 2 of Fraser Place Puteri Harbour, Swatches Restaurant offers a comfortable and welcoming dining environment, making it an ideal spot for families, friends, and colleagues to gather for a meaningful buka puasa experience.
This Ramadan season, the restaurant presents its specially curated “Nusantara Ramadan Buffet 2026,” a culinary spread that celebrates traditional flavours inspired by the rich heritage of the Nusantara region.
The buffet, available until 20 March 2026, features an impressive variety of dishes ranging from appetisers and traditional Malay delicacies to international favourites and exciting live cooking stations.
A Refreshing Start with Appetisers and Seafood on
Ice
Guests beginning their iftar journey will immediately notice the beautifully arranged appetiser section displayed at the central buffet area. Among the highlights are traditional ketupat served with various types of serunding, offering a nostalgic taste that many Malaysians enjoy during festive occasions.
Alongside these are selections of fresh
ulam-ulaman, served with locally inspired sauces made from ingredients sourced
in Malaysia. The refreshing herbs and vegetables provide a light and flavourful
start before moving on to the heartier dishes.
Seafood lovers will also appreciate the Seafood on Ice station, which showcases a generous selection of fresh prawns, mussels, oysters, and clams. Chilled to perfection, this section offers a refreshing option for diners who enjoy the natural flavours of fresh seafood.
Adding even more variety to the buffet are fried
favourites such as curry puffs, roti john, and other savoury bites, perfect for
those who enjoy traditional street-style snacks.
Aromatic Hot Dishes and Local Specialties
The hot dishes section is where the buffet truly shines. Guests are welcomed by the enticing aromas of a wide variety of dishes commonly served during festive gatherings and special occasions.
The menu highlights a delightful combination of local
Malaysian flavours and Chinese-inspired fusion dishes, ensuring there is
something for everyone to enjoy. From rich curries to savoury stir-fried
selections, each dish reflects the comforting flavours that many diners
associate with traditional home-style cooking.
One standout dish that continues to impress is the restaurant’s Siput Sedut, a popular local delicacy. The dish is prepared with a well-balanced spice profile that is flavourful yet not overly spicy, making it enjoyable for many diners.
Exciting Live Cooking Stations
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the Nusantara Ramadan buffet is the presence of several live cooking stations, where chefs prepare dishes fresh right in front of diners.
The Pasta Station is a popular choice, especially
among younger guests. Here, diners can watch the chef cook pasta directly in
the pan while combining sauces and ingredients to create comforting dishes such
as creamy Carbonara. The live preparation adds an interactive element to the
dining experience while ensuring each plate is freshly made.
Another crowd favourite is the Live Murtabak
Station, where a dedicated chef skillfully stretches the dough, adds the
savoury filling, and folds it before cooking it on a hot griddle. The result is
a freshly prepared murtabak with a crispy exterior and flavourful interior,
served hot for diners to enjoy.
Right beside it is the Sup Kendi Berempah Station, where aromatic spiced soup is prepared on the spot. Diners can choose their preferred ingredients, and the staff will assist in preparing a warm bowl of comforting broth filled with rich spices and fragrant flavours—perfect for breaking the fast after a long day.
Grilled Delights and Signature Ramadan Highlights
No Ramadan buffet would be complete without
grilled specialties, and the Live Grilling Station here features an assortment
of marinated meats such as beef, chicken, and lamb, along with seafood
selections like prawns and salmon. Watching the chefs grill these items fresh
adds excitement to the buffet experience.
Another highlight is the Kambing Golek station,
where beautifully roasted lamb is served together with fragrant Nasi Briyani,
creating a satisfying combination that many diners look forward to.
Sweet Treats and Refreshing Beverages
To conclude the meal on a sweet note, diners can explore the colourful dessert display filled with jellies, bite-sized cakes, and traditional local kuih. The variety offers a delightful mix of textures and flavours, making it hard to resist sampling a little bit of everything.
A unique highlight of this buffet is the fresh
sugarcane juice station, where sugarcane is pressed on the spot to extract its
natural sweetness. This refreshing drink is rarely found in hotel buffets and
adds a special touch to the dining experience.
