The Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec) has unveiled its 2026 culinary lineup, marking a dual festive launch: Ramadan and Chinese New Year (CNY).
Headlining the season is the return of the highly anticipated “Dari Dapur KL Metropolis” Ramadan buffet, reaffirming Mitec’s position as more than a convention venue, but as the gastronomic heart of the KL Metropolis precinct, offering thoughtfully created festive dining menus.
While renowned as Malaysia’s largest trade and exhibition venue, Mitec has consistently advanced in establishing itself as a leader in large-scale banqueting, backed by formidable culinary operations.
In 2025 alone, the venue served over 60,000 meals across peak festive and corporate seasons, including CNY, Ramadan, Hari Raya Open House and annual dinners – a testament to the venue’s capacity, consistency and culinary excellence at scale.
1. Dari Dapur KL Metropolis Ramadan Buffet 2026
Available from March 4 to 15, 2026, “Dari Dapur KL Metropolis” is designed to be more than a buffet; it acts as a community gathering point for the venue.
“Mitec is more than just a venue for trade; we are the heartbeat of the KL Metropolis.
“Unlike conventional hotel settings, our expansive and welcoming spaces create a true ‘Open House’ experience,” said Mitec chief executive officer Mala Dorasamy.
She added, “This festive season, we invite our local and international communities to celebrate our diversity together and enjoy a stress-free Iftar that showcases the richness of Malaysia’s culinary heritage.”
There is ample parking for guests and a surau for their Iftar, ensuring that spiritual obligations are met with comfort and convenience amidst the feasting.
Curated by the Malay sous chef Chef Romzi, the buffet features over 120 food choices and 88 tantalising dishes. The menu balances innovation with nostalgia, featuring signatures that have become synonymous with the venue:
