If you’re looking to break fast in a setting that truly captures the spirit of kampung life, Selera Desa 2026 at Rumah Kayu 1928 might just be the perfect escape this Ramadan.
Set within a beautifully preserved traditional Malay wooden house in Kuang, Selangor, Selera Desa returns with a heartfelt celebration of heritage flavours, culture and togetherness. Organised by Doplohtiga, the weekend-only Ramadan buffet runs from 27 February to 15 March 2026, offering a more curated and comfortable dining experience for guests who want something beyond the usual hotel spread.
A Feast of Authentic Malay Flavours
True to its name, Selera Desa (Village Flavours) highlights time-honoured Malay recipes prepared in generous kawah-style portions. Among the standout dishes are:
- Gulai Kawah Kambing Gurun
- Daging Dendeng Ketumbar Tumbuk
- Asam Pedas Tetel
- Ayam Goreng Rempah Kak Wok
- Nasi Minyak Abang Jedi
- Nasi Kuning Pak Dak
The menu pays tribute to traditional favourites that evoke memories of balik kampung gatherings and festive family feasts.
Themed Stalls That Bring the Village to Life
What makes Selera Desa special is its immersive layout. Instead of a standard buffet line, guests can explore themed food stalls designed to recreate a lively village atmosphere:
- Pablo Korner (Pasta Stall)
- Belanga Hangat (Noodles Stall)
- Hirup Hirup (Soup Stall)
- Gulung Mencicah (Lempeng Stall)
- Salji Sagat (ABC Stall)
- Kuih Kak Kiah (Sweet & Savoury Stall)
- Moreh Bersila (Hot Beverages & Snacks)
The experience goes beyond food, with live elements and a full rumah kayu ambience that transports diners back in time. Families with children can also look forward to a special fireworks moment — a festive highlight that adds extra excitement to the evening.
Affordable Pricing for Families & Groups
Despite its premium heritage setting, Selera Desa remains accessible:
- RM75 per adult
- RM55 per child (below 12 years old)
- RM70 per pax for group bookings (minimum 60 guests)
For corporate clients, weekday Private Ramadan Buffet packages are also available with advance booking, offering a more exclusive and tailored experience.
According to Mr Zaidi Masri, owner of Doplohtiga and Rumah Kayu 1928, Selera Desa is designed to be more than just a buffet.
“Selera Desa is more than just a Ramadan buffet — it is an experience that revives the warmth of kampung life, tradition and togetherness. We want our guests to not only enjoy the food, but to leave with meaningful memories.”
A Living Heritage Venue
Originally built in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, Rumah Kayu 1928 was carefully relocated to Kuang for preservation. Constructed using the traditional tanggam joinery technique — a nail-less woodworking method — the house stands as a testament to classic Malay craftsmanship and architecture.
Today, it functions as a heritage event venue and gallery, hosting weddings, private functions, corporate events and festive celebrations, while welcoming visitors who wish to experience an authentic traditional Malay wooden house setting.
With limited seating to ensure comfort, early reservations are highly recommended. For bookings and enquiries, guests may contact +6019-625 9370.
For those seeking a Ramadan buffet that feels personal, nostalgic and rooted in heritage, Selera Desa 2026 offers a meaningful alternative to the typical city dining experience.
