Celebrated @yasminhani’s birthday last night with a bunch of intimate friends at the @hotelstripeskl.
.
Alvin (bless you) arranged for the special long marble table for us and the specially designed birthday cake for our gal!
.
In the twist of events, Sazzy and I who are both helper-less, brought our kids at the 11th hour and again, Stripes KL were so accommodating in getting a separate table for them despite the heavily booked Ramadan buffet dilemma.
.
Farhan (who amongst some of Hani’s other closest pals, couldn’t make it last night) decorated our table with balloons galore! And if you look at our IG stories, you can tell it was a hit with other children in the restaurant too when Hani started sharing the ❤️ with the little ones!
.
It is my first time here and I can see why Sazzy and her family are hooked to this hotel! Their service? Tip top! They go all out to make their guests feel special and loved.
.
Their Ramadan buffet is a traditional Malay spread. What I like about it is that they have the typical dishes we ALL love and expect from a Malay buffet spread, and the layout is cozy - using authentic dulangs and clay pots to serve their dishes - unlike the average rectangular steel serving trays we are accustomed to. This way, they need to top up fresh, piping hot food when the food runs out. A bit more tedious, but
I heard much later, that they are one of the hotels in KL who participates in the Zero Food Waste Program.
.
Extra food is distributed to a reputable soup kitchen to help feed the urban poor. Definitely a thumbs up on that brave initiative as many hotels don’t want to take that “risk” and prefer to dispose their extra food in the bin. Sadly.
.
Happy birthday my darling Celepet. We’ve been friends longer than when this special sisterhood of friends took place and I’m so glad we have each other’s back when shit hits the fans. Love you. Hope you had a wonderful time.
