Chef Jo, a culinary maestro and former Chief Juror of MASTERCHEF MALAYSIA, has once again outdone himself.
His latest venture, Platform Nineteen, is a testament to his commitment to authentic flavours and exceptional dining experiences.
Partnering with a talented Pakistani chef, the restaurant brings together the best of modern Pakistani and Western cuisines, creating an unforgettable iftar spread that will leave you in awe.
On the 6th day of Ramadan, over 20 top chefs from the KL-Klang Valley gathered at Platform Nineteen for a special iftar. After nearly a week of fasting, the lavish buffet was nothing short of spectacular.
From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a feast fit for royalty—tantalising aromas, rich spices, and a spread that delighted both the eyes and the palate.
The starter set the tone—a rich, hearty soup served in an edible bread bowl, a creative touch that impressed even the most seasoned chefs.
The main courses were a harmonious blend of flavours, featuring succulent lamb shank, aromatic curries, and perfectly spiced dishes that transported us straight to the streets of Lahore.
Western elements, such as spaghetti interwoven with the robust flavours of Pakistani spices, added a unique twist to the feast.
Dessert was a grand finale, with gulab jamun, an assortment of sweet delights, and steaming cups of masala tea that provided the perfect balance of warmth and comfort after a fulfilling meal.
It was truly an overwhelmingly delicious experience—a showcase of authenticity, skill, and passion.
For those looking for an exceptional iftar at an unbelievably affordable rate, Platform Nineteen is the place to be.
Just one piece of advice—if you're coming from Kuala Lumpur, wait until after 6:30 PM to avoid rush hour, and you’ll be there in just 45 minutes.
And while you're there, don't forget to say hi to Chef Jo—the man behind this gastronomic marvel.
Ask him about ketupat palas. He makes special cute ketupat palas for Hari Raya.
