Birkin International Hotel is welcoming 2026 with a dining experience that places cultural celebration and shared meals at the heart of its festive offerings. From the vibrant energy of Chinese New Year to the soulful warmth of Ramadan evenings, the Klebang-based hotel is positioning itself as a gathering place where traditions are represented through food.

Birkin International Hotel General Manager Kevin Lee stated that the festive offerings emphasise the hotel’s commitment to celebrating Malaysia’s rich cultural diversity through food.

He added, “Whether celebrating the beginning of the lunar year with prosperity and joy or breaking fast together during Ramadan, we strive to create lasting memories for our guests.”

Chinese New Year Buffet Dinner

The celebrations begin with the arrival of the Lunar New Year, marked by a Chinese New Year Buffet Dinner designed to reflect themes of reunion, prosperity, and abundance.

Hosted at Birkin Kitchen on Feb 16-18, from 6.30pm to 10.0pm, the buffet brings together festive favourites commonly associated with family banquets and celebratory toasts.

Adding to the experience is the hotel’s range of Yee Sang offerings, which are available throughout the season from Jan 26 to Mar 3 2026 and would allow the guests to incorporate the symbolic prosperity toss into their celebrations, whether dining casually or hosting more formal gatherings.

Not only that, for those seeking a quieter setting, Birkin International Hotel also offers Chinese Set Menus in private dining rooms, available until Mar 3 2026, from 6.30pm to 10.0pm. The private rooms cater to families, corporate groups, and intimate celebrations that prefer a more refined atmosphere while still embracing traditional flavours.

Priced at MYR180+ per adult and MYR126+ for kids and senior citizens, it’s a great choice for business celebrations, families, and corporations seeking a vibrant and joyous setting.

Gulai Kawah Tradisi Ramadan Buffet

As the calendar turns to Ramadan, the hotel shifts focus to communal dining rooted in Malaysian heritage. The “Gulai Kawah Tradisi” Ramadan Buffet returns as a signature highlight, running from Feb 27 to Mar 19, 2026, daily from 6.30pm to 10.0pm.

Centred on rich, slow-cooked flavours, the buffet features a wide spread of local favourites, with Kambing Gulai Kawah taking pride of place alongside aromatic dishes such as Rusa Golek, Kambing Golek, Nasi Arab, Ayam Bakar Tandoori, Ayam Panggang Maharani, Ketam Bunga Masak Lemak, Murtabak Tomahawk, Ekor Asam Pedas, Sup Sum-sum, and a more designed to be enjoyed together at the breaking of fast.

Beyond the variety of dishes, the Ramadan offering emphasises generosity. Promotions from early-bird pricing to group-friendly offers make it well-suited for family iftars, reunions, and corporate gatherings throughout the fasting month.

Together, these two festive dining experiences reflect Birkin International Hotel’s commitment to celebrating Malaysia’s multicultural identity. The hotel creates more than just meals by centring its seasonal offerings on well-known cuisines and local customs. It also provides opportunities for introspection, celebration, and connection by the Melaka coast.
