Seeking a more intimate Ramadan buka puasa experience, cosier and calmer than the conventional buffet bustle? Check out Shiso Dining at MiCasa All Suite Hotel, which will serve traditional Ramadan sets crafted for two persons, conveniently set in the city centre.


Shiso Dining's Selera Warisan - Ramadan Special Hidang Set Dinner is available at RM148 nett for two persons, 6:30pm to 9:30pm, 23 March to 21 April 2023. Reservations are required at least one day in advance. The set is also offered for takeaway, with a RM10 surcharge. 

Guests have two different sets to select from, each with a bounty of temptations that comprehensively sum up the full buka puasa experience - starters to refresh the palate after a day of fasting, hearty main courses to satiate hungry tummies, and desserts to soothe the spirit.

Explore traditional favourites that evoke nostalgic flavours, featuring kampung-style classics handed down through generations, reminding us of cherished meals with our grandparents.

For table reservations and enquiries, please call 03-2178-8000, WhatsApp 017-219-6126 or email fnbkul@micasahotel.com

Set A comprises:
Dates & Pickled Fruit
Ulam-ulam with Sambal
Chicken Soup
Fish Head Curry
Spicy & Sour Oxtail
Beef / Chicken Satay
Roasted Chicken with Percik Sauce
Steamed Rice
Kuih & Ice Cream
Sirap Bandung & Teh Tarik

The stars of this set include the Fish Head Curry, a firm favourite at private functions held MiCasa All Suite Hotel. This is a rich, creamy curry that relies on premium fresh salmon, terrifically moist, fleshy and tender, balanced with a bright tang in the curry.

The Oxtail also deserves a shout-out, prepared Asam Pedas style, slow-cooked for three hours until the meat nearly melts in the mouth. The flavours are fantastic - spicy and sourish, but not too fiery, thankfully!

The Prawn Sambal showcases plump, full-bodied crustaceans in a sumptuously sweetish sambal, while the Beef Rendang is one of MiCasa's perennial bestsellers, simmered with more than 10 herbs and spices, resulting in a robust, addictively nuanced rendang.

A meal at Samo's Kitchen strives to channel the comforting flavours of a Middle Eastern home, embracing a Turkish twist and North African influences: Nutty salads tossed in pomegranate dressing, chicken shawarma wraps, falafel platters, and our favourite, the hearty vegetable tagine, washed down with grapefruit honey fizzy coolers and minty ayran beverages.

Perched beside Sanctuary Mall's spectacular Tree House in Bandar Rimbayu, Kishi Yakiniku Bar offers a striking space for sumptuous Japanese sensations - it's a wide-open, breezy sanctuary with a one-of-a-kind view, for a gorgeous getaway from the crowded city, an easy half-hour's drive from, say, Bandar Sunway or Bukit Jalil.

True to its name, yakiniku is the name of the game here, with top-notch cuts of Miyazaki A5 beef, iberico pork and Australian lamb for the grilling. But the kitchen succeeds in surprising with playful modern pleasures like sliders stuffed with unagi and foie gras.

While the great outdoors are the ideal way to savour the Kishi experience, the restaurant also promises a comfortable, karaoke-equipped private room for intimate special occasions.

Order from Kishi's wide range of protein to BBQ to your heart's content.


The premium beef selection comprises cuts of Japanese Miyazaki A5 wagyu sirloin, ichibo (sirloin cap) and rump, Australian wagyu MB6-MB9 sirloin, zabuton and misuji, U.S. Black Angus sirloin and karubi.

Pork is also a standout, including kurobuta cheek and ribeye and iberico belly and ribeye. Lamb rack, smoked duck and chicken thigh are also available, bolstered by seafood such as Hokkaido scallops, octopus tentacles, white sea prawns and big hard clams.

The Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Sirloin (RM188 for 80 grams) is the pinnacle of taste and texture here, with its high degree of marbling yielding a delicious depth of flavour and tenderness. Choose this one for the ultimate Kishi indulgence, smoky on the charcoal-fuelled barbecue.

Kishi Yakiniku-21.jpgKishi Yakiniku-22.jpg
The Australian Wagyu MB6 Karubi represents one of the iconic cuts of the yakiniku genre - short ribs with a satisfying juiciness that's addictive for the palate, needing only a few short seconds of searing on each side.

Kishi Yakiniku-19.jpgKishi Yakiniku-20.jpg
The Iberico Ribeye (RM34 for 100 grams) is the porcine equivalent of wagyu - this is lip-smacking pork, with a distinctive balance of robust flavour and rich succulence. We could happily order two or three platters of this to share.

To complete your red meat encounter at Kishi, check out the Aussie Lamb Rack (RM58 for 180 grams), one of the coveted parts of the lamb, chunky and fleshy with a confident chew.

Beyond yakiniku, Kishi's kitchen is capable of whipping up a full meal even without the grill. 

The Ichi (RM48) is our No. 1 choice for a starter or snack - these charming sliders are layered with a dynamic duo of teriyaki eel and pan-fried duck liver, a delightfully decadent pairing of Japanese and French influences.

Kishi Yakiniku-17.jpgKishi Yakiniku-18.jpg
For more fusion fun, munch on the moreish, marvellous Hachi (RM26), Kishi's flagship fries, heaped with fish roe, bonito flakes and golden-hued mayo, hearty with unlimited umami in each crispy-creamy bite.

Kishi Yakiniku-43.jpg
The Roku (RM26) is a simple, soothing classic of salmon carpaccio, with fresh slices of the fish buoyed by a bright, plant-powered tang. An uplifting counterpoint to many of the meaty temptations here.

Kishi Yakiniku-27.jpg
Also for traditionalists, the Sake Clam Soup (RM38) merits a strong recommendation, potent with sake that permeates the briny broth, brimming with a bounty of mouthwatering molluscs.

Kishi Yakiniku-15.jpg
For a single-serving lunch or dinner, the Salmon Aburi Tobiko Don (RM34) is a rice bowl to remember, with firm Japanese rice blanketed with torched salmon and roe in a sweetish sauce.

Kishi Yakiniku-35.jpg
Health-conscious customers aren't left out - the Fuji Apple & Mango Wafu Salad (RM18) is a nutrient-loaded harvest of fruity flavours, rounded out with a zingy, zesty Japanese dressing.
