Westin Desaru Coast Resort Ramadan Buffet GANDINGAN CITARASA AIR TANGAN CHEF ADU
This is something good to share if you are planning to visit Desaru Johor. The Westin Desaru Coast Resort announces a collaboration dinner on this holy month with restauranteur and MasterChef Malaysia Judge, Chef Adu Amran. From 3 April to 2 May 2022, the resort will play host to the guest chef at their Gandingan Citarasa Air Tangan Cef Adu dinner buffet.
We were staying at Westin Desaru Coast Resort and manage to check the Ramadan Buffet GANDINGAN CITARASA AIR TANGAN CHEF ADU on their first day. To be honest, this is not the usual Ramadan Buffet you can get at hotels in Kuala Lumpur as I will explain more to it.

No stranger to the cameras, Chef Adu was a guest judge in Season 1 of MasterChef Malaysia, then became a permanent judge for Season 2.

At the Ramadan buffet dinner, I was lucky enough to meet Chef Adu. He is a very humble and knowledgeable chef and we chatted for over 20 minutes on Johor food.
The uniqueness of Westin Desaru Coast Resort Ramadan Buffet GANDINGAN CITARASA AIR TANGAN CHEF ADU is his signature Johor food that you cannot find in Kuala Lumpur. Two of his signature Johor dishes include Laksa Johor and Mee Bandung Maharani.
The Johor Laksa is rather unique. Instead of the usual laksa, it comes with thick gravy made of ‘Ikan parang, Ikan Kurau’ and Prawn flesh. According to Chef Adu, Johorians eat this with hands and hence the gravy is thick with noodles. The Johor Laksa comes with the fragrant of spices and gravy that will offers you something different than the usual laksa.
Mee Bandung Maharani also slightly different than the usual mee bandung. It comes with lots of flavours if you pick all the ingredients. This is a must try.
The boys love the desserts especially the ‘ice cream potong’ and there are dozens of local and Western desserts to choose from. For kids, there are Kids Corner and they will enjoy all the colourful snacks and sweets from there.
