High-tea buffet opens with delights from Kedah and Penang
Diners in Kuala Lumpur can go on a culinary journey all around Malaysia, thanks to a high-tea buffet in the heart of the city.
At The Mesh, Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, City Centre (Four Points KLCC), guests of its 'Jelajah Cita Rasa' afternoon treat will enjoy specialities from all around Malaysia on a rotating basis, alongside buffet staples, comfort foods and scrumptious desserts.
'The buffet brings a new concept focusing on Malaysian cuisine,' said chef Alan Wong.
'Every quarter, two states will be featured, starting from the northern states of Kedah and Penang.
'This rotating concept ensures a fresh, exciting menu for the year, allowing diners to explore the rich culinary heritage of all 14 Malaysian states,' added Wong, who is Four Points KLCC and Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel and Convention Centre multi-property culinary director.
Delectable traditional kuih for dessert make up part of the selection at The Mesh's 'Jelajah Cita Rasa' high-tea buffet that highlights dishes from around Malaysia on a rotating basis.
The journey begins with a vibrant lineup of appetisers including pani puri bursting with tangy spice, chicken tikka salad, earthy black mushroom salad and golden crispy bean curd skin rolls with a refreshing burst of flavour.
From the Penang station, there is the state's signature nasi kandar, featuring crowd favourites like ayam goreng rempah, kari bawal mamak and kari sotong.
There is also a variety of kerabu (local salad) such as kerabu daging kerisik, kerabu udang Seri Melayu and kerabu betik udang kering, as well as the beloved Penang pai tee, each delivering a mix of textures and tang.
The buffet also features comfort foods like spicy-and-sour soup, creamy pumpkin soup, hearty seafood porridge and an inviting selection of freshly baked breads.
The international section includes fresh sashimi, creamy pasta and seafood on ice.
According to Wong, the northern Malaysian dishes are crafted with a lighter use of spices to enable more diners to enjoy them.
To end the meal, diners can enjoy Ipoh's signature white coffee creme brulee, available alongside a selection of traditional Malaysian kuih.
'The Ipoh white coffee creme brulee leaves an unforgettable impression,' Wong said.
'Jelajah Cita Rasa' high-tea buffet, priced at RM158nett per adult and RM79nett per child, is served on Saturdays and Sundays, from 12.30pm to 3pm.

Natalina Italian Kitchen serves authentic Italian delights and treasures
Ensconced on the third floor of Kuala Lumpur's Avenue K shopping mall is an Aladdin's cave of sorts for those hankering after Italian culinary treasures. At Natalina Italian Kitchen, the space is warm and inviting, with sunny yellow lemons perched on the ceiling and interspersed throughout the space. Beaming warmly as he strides purposefully throughout the eatery is Stefano La Penna, the strikingly handsome Italian chef who helms the kitchen here. La Penna hails from the southern Italian city of Abruzzo. When he was just 18, he was anointed into the world of fine-dining when he was selected to work at the three Michelin-starred Reale in Abruzzo's Castel di Sangro. 'There were 84 applicants and only 11 were selected. I was the only one with no kitchen background – everyone else had a lot of experience,' says La Penna, grinning. The eatery is warm and inviting and has an instant, easy charm. Still, there was probably something about La Penna that got him a foot in the door. He ended up staying there for three years, honing his culinary chops. Since those foundling years, he has worked all over the world, from Fukuoka, Japan to the Bahamas. When he was offered a job in Malaysia, he was actually in the midst of pursuing his masters in food and beverage management in Italy, so he was in two minds about trekking halfway across the world. 'When I came to visit KL, I was shocked. I was like 'Wow, this looks like New York!' And I love how connected the city is to food, so I just fell in love with Malaysia – the people, the place, the lifestyle,' he says. La Penna is the talented chef behind Natalina's soulful Italian fare. In September 2022, La Penna took over Natalina and since then, he has made it a point to impart his particular brand of Italian cuisine to local diners. As he is very passionate about the food of his homeland, he doesn't modify recipes to suit local tastebuds. Instead, his goal is to slowly educate Malaysian diners about the natural beauty of Italian cuisine. 'The primary focus is to provide the authentic flavours of Italy, even though we are in the opposite part of the world. And then I want to try to educate guests about the meaning behind these food traditions, so it is understandable for them,' he says. The menu rotates based on the seasons in Europe, so the current iteration offers a slew of summer hits. Beef tenderloin wrapped around tomato bread may sound like a questionable pairing, but it's actually a surprisingly good one. — ART CHEN/The Star To begin a meal here, look at indulging in the rather unusual Carpaccio Di Manzo (RM58) which features thinly sliced tenderloin wrapped around cherry tomato bread and rounded out with extra virgin oil, tuna mayo and freshly grated parmesan cheese. While bread and meat typically feel like heavier fare, this is a surprisingly light offering whose perkiness is accentuated by the tomatoes in the configuration. The meat here is silken and supine and adds contrast to what feels like a meal you're not likely to have tried anywhere else before. Breaded and deep-fried, the calamari stuffed rolls are delicious from start to finish. — ART CHEN/The Star Then there is the Crocchette Di Calamari (RM42) which is essentially breaded, deep-fried rotund balls filled with calamari and served with a garlic tomato mayonnaise. The balls are excellent – perfectly crispy on the outside and laced with sea-faring notes on the inside, buoyed by the chopped calamari in the mixture. The garlic tomato mayonnaise adds a touch of acidity to the meal and gives it a sunny disposition. Italian burrata cheese is the binding force in this light, refreshing salad. Up next, try the house-favourite Burrata (RM52). Here, imported burrata from the south of Italy is served with tomato confit (enhanced with the famed datterino Italian tomato) and wild rocket salad in what proves to be a tangy, Mediterranean hit anchored by the burrata, which is silken smooth, stretchy and incredibly fresh. From the pasta selections, opt for the Gricia Al Tartufo (RM78) or handmade fettucine in a cheese sauce, with duck bacon pasta and freshly shaved black truffles rounding out this assemblage. The highlight of the sauce is the fact that it is strung together using only cheese (parmesan) and water – no cream is utilised at all. The handmade fettucine is enhanced with a cheese sauce and freshly shaved black Italian truffles. The result is sensational – the pasta itself is cooked to al dente perfection and retains a strong, firm bite. The sauce meanwhile is thick and incredibly hedonistic and this is elevated even further by the opulence of the truffles. Then there is the Chitarrina Al Frutti Di Mare (RM88). Chitarra is hand-made pasta that is cut using a pasta cutter (also called chitarra) with wires stretched across a wooden frame, one that resembles a guitar. (Chitarra means guitar in Italian.) The chitarra spaghetti dish harnesses the richness of the sea and serves it up on a plate. In this dish, the pasta is served with clams, prawns and Boston lobster tail and finished with tuna bottarga and lemon zest. Scattered atop is dehydrated black olives. The entire dish is intense in that it that has been stitched together in order to hold a rich tapestry of oceanic flavours. As a result, the in-your-face aquatic notes may come off a little bolder and brinier than you might be used to, but it's also unapologetically underwater-themed down to the tiniest detail. The wagyu striploin has been cooked in a Josper oven and retains tender, juicy meat. — Photos: ART CHEN/The Star For something from the main meal family, go down a carnivorous path with the Tagliata Di Manzo (RM85 per 100g), which showcases wagyu striploin, served with charred broccolini and truffle sauce. The beef has been cooked in a Josper oven and retains a slight crust on the skin that yields to meat that still has a pink, tender heart and succulence coursing through its veins. The truffle sauce is a rich, nirvanic addition that adds a palatial touch to this caveman course. Luscious, creamy and coffee-tinged, the tiramisu is a sure-fire hit. End your meal on a high note with the all-star charms of the Tiramisu (RM45) – a rich, creamy, coffee-laden treat with a sponge centre and an irreverent, unpretentious charm. Guided by La Penna's able hand, a meal at Natalina takes diners on a vicarious journey through far-flung cities in Italy without losing the soul and essence of the country's culinary comforts. This is a feat that is by no means easy to accomplish when you're halfway across the world, and yet La Penna seems to have nailed it down to a science.

Look before you leap on tours
KUALA LUMPUR: From petty theft to accidents, Malaysian travellers abroad have been urged to treat safety as a top priority, with experts and seasoned travellers stressing the importance of preparation, insurance and knowing where to turn to for help in emergencies. Johor Tourism Association deputy chairman Chua Poh Kok recalled the December 2015 tragedy in Chiang Mai, Thailand, when 13 Malaysians died after their bus collided with a pickup truck and plunged off the road. 'The travel agency contacted us for help, but the local Thai agency said it would cost a huge amount to bring the deceased home,' he said. Chua sought assistance from the Transport Minister, leading to the deployment of a RMAF aircraft to repatriate the victims. 'Police cars escorted the remains to Batu Pahat. The travel agency assisted the families, checked for additional insurance, and initiated the compensation process,' he said. He advised Malaysians travelling abroad to know how to contact the nearest Malaysian embassy, which can provide critical help, as can Tourism Malaysia's offices overseas. While travellers need not always book through agencies, Chua said agencies can be vital in emergencies. 'Airlines can charge heavily to fly a coffin home, but with embassy help, costs can be reduced,' he said, urging solo travellers to always buy travel insurance. He added all licensed travel agencies must attend refresher training every two years to stay updated on emergency procedures. Recent incidents have underscored the dangers Malaysians may face abroad. On Thursday, two Malaysian tourists, Gan Xiao Zhen, 27, and her boyfriend Ong Yik Leong, 26, were critically injured in Bangkok after a local man doused them with thinner and set them on fire while they were seated outside a shopping centre on Ratchadamri Road. Malaysian Inbound Tourism Association (Mita) president Mint Leong said safety must always be a top priority, whether travelling alone or in a group. 'When travelling alone, you must know local safety measures, keep up with weather and political updates, have the nearest emergency contacts and safeguard travel documents and money – ideally stored separately,' she said. 'If you lose your passport or valuables, contact the local police and Malaysian embassy immediately. Without proper help, replacing travel documents can be a long process,' she said, adding that travel agencies often help expedite such matters. Leong also cautioned against scams involving counterfeit currency, rigged taxi fares or ride-hailing services taking longer routes. She said a Taiwanese tourist suffered a stroke in a Malaysian hotel bathroom. 'It took a month of hospital care and a week of travel arrangements, including special seating on the flight home. Such cases demand high costs and coordination with family, embassies, insurers and local authorities.' She stressed the need for travel insurance, particularly for lone travellers. 'For unfamiliar destinations, travel should never be spontaneous – preparation is key,' Leong said. About five years ago, Bashir Azwan, 38, was a victim of pickpockets overseas. He was forced to make an emergency call to his bank to deactivate his credit card and borrow money from a friend to reach the embassy for a replacement passport. 'I was grateful to have a friend with me,' said the contractor. 'Now, I stay vigilant on every trip. Avoid provoking anyone or wandering into unsafe areas. Travel with a companion where possible, dress modestly to avoid attention, and always make sure you have travel insurance.' Justin Lee, 28, a programmer, said he always keeps the Malaysian embassy's email and Wisma Putra's contact details handy before travelling, in case of emergencies. 'I also follow the news in the country I'm visiting,' he said. Lee carries a small amount of cash for convenience, stays in regular contact with his family and never travels without insurance.
