    Fancy an iftar dinner with your loved ones in an elegant glasshouse overlooking a picturesque lake? Drenched in natural sunlight and surrounded by lush greenery, Boathouse feels worlds apart from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur despite being located just a 15-minute drive from the KL city centre.
    We've seen pictures of weddings being held at the dreamy venue, and were excited when we found out that they're opening it up for Ramadan buffets by the lake in the evenings this month. If you're looking for a cosy and spacious spot to berbuka with your friends and family, Boathouse is a great spot to add to your list. Keep reading for our review of the Ramadan buffet here!

    We arrived when it was still bright, and managed to catch the glasshouse being brightly lit before the sky outside transformed into a glittering backdrop after sunset. With a spacious interior, wide floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, classic heritage tiles, a tranquil outdoor garden, and a rustic deck that leads out to the water, it's just a really beautiful place to have an iftar dinner at. ✨ We can imagine why the captivating space is such a popular venue for dreamy weddings, intimate private gatherings, and sophisticated events.

    The Ramadan buffet spread at Boathouse Ampang

    Let us give you a sneak peek of the food! 😋 There are three main sections to the Boathouse's Ramadan buffet spread - a generous selection of dishes lined up indoors, a dessert corner, as well as lovely Ramadan bazaar-style stalls outdoors facing the lake. We head straight to the outdoor section first and got our servings of satay, kambing bakar (our favourite dish for the night!), and ikan bakar, all freshly prepared on the spot.

    There's also a live cooking station opposite - an Italian section with chefs that can whip up plates of made-to-order pasta for you if you're up for something Western 🍝 (take your pick from bolognese, carbonara, or napolitana, and choose your own toppings, whether you'd like some chicken slices, mushrooms, or heaps of parmesan cheese 🧀).

    The main section of the Ramadan buffet is located indoors along the back of the spacious dining hall. From refreshing salads to ulam-ulam, rojak buah, and mains such as ayam masak merah, sotong paprik, mutton curry, ayam percik, and redang daging, there are plenty of dishes for you to heap onto your plate. If you're coming over with children, there's also a selection of kid-friendly bites such as chicken nuggets, french fries, and cocktail sausages for your little ones! You can also get yourself a bowl of tom yum noodles or mee kari on certain nights (they alternate between two menus).

    We ended our night on a sweet note and had so much fun contemplating what to choose from the assortment of sweets at the dessert section. Take your pick from a spread of puddings, mini cakes, mango sago, cookies, agar-agar, and kuih muih. There's also fruit cocktail, bubur chacha, ice cream, cendol, and fresh fruits!

    Our verdict of the Ramadan Buffet at Boathouse

    We'll be honest that the buffet selection at Boathouse isn't the most extensive in town, but we can tell that they've put care into curating the menu, and everything we tried tasted fresh and great. ✨
    Overall we think that the buffet is good value for money, and we'd definitely add lots of brownie points for the dreamy location! We especially loved the views and how spacious it is - you won't have to worry about rubbing shoulders with strangers or fighting for food with crowds. It's also really easy to get here and there's ample parking for the guests. ✨
    If you're planning an iftar meal with your friends, family, or colleagues, definitely consider checking Boathouse out - you can book your buffet at 15% off (and an additional 10% off with promo code <MEMBERBARU10> if you're a new user) on Klook.
