Sundays are naturally made for slowing down. They are the kind of days where time feels a little softer, conversations linger a little longer, and meals are best enjoyed without rushing. At Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, Sundays are now given a delicious new meaning with the launch of the Fin-Tastic Seafood Boil at Midtown Brasserie.
Taking place on the first Sunday of every month, this monthly dining experience brings together the best elements of a relaxed weekend feast — premium seafood, bold flavours, generous portions, interactive dining, beautiful desserts and the simple joy of sharing a meal with family and friends.
Inspired by the classic American coastal seafood boil, the experience celebrates the spirit of community dining. Traditionally, a seafood boil is all about bringing people together over freshly cooked seafood, served in a casual and hearty way. Instead of individual plated courses, an abundant selection of seafood is boiled together in a richly seasoned broth before being poured directly onto a covered table. Finished with a bright squeeze of lemon, the feast invites diners to roll up their sleeves, enjoy the moment and savour every bite with their hands.
At Midtown Brasserie, this lively coastal tradition is presented with a refined hotel dining touch. The result is an experience that feels both relaxed and elevated — casual enough to be fun, yet premium enough to feel like a special Sunday occasion.
Guests can choose from three distinctive seafood boil options, each created with its own flavour personality.
For the most indulgent experience, the King Crab Boil is the ultimate premium choice. Priced at RM538 nett per person, it features the luxurious Alaska king crab leg, making it ideal for guests who enjoy a grand and celebratory seafood feast. Sweet, meaty and naturally impressive, the king crab brings an unmistakable sense of occasion to the table.
The Lobster Boil, priced at RM432 nett per person, is another standout for seafood lovers. Featuring plump and succulent Sabah green lobsters, this option delivers both freshness and indulgence in every bite. Paired with the traditional Western-style Classic Louisiana spices, the lobster boil offers a bold, aromatic and deeply satisfying flavour profile. It is hearty, flavourful and beautifully suited for those who appreciate a classic seafood boil experience with a premium touch.
For diners who prefer something closer to home, the Classic Seafood Boil is priced at RM326 nett per person and features a delicious local Kam Heong-style interpretation. Fragrant, savoury and rich with familiar Malaysian flavours, this version offers a wonderful balance of seafood sweetness and local spice. It is a lovely choice for guests who enjoy bold, aromatic flavours with a comforting local twist.
Each seafood boil is generously loaded with a rich variety of fresh seafood, including calamari, tiger prawns, mussels, blue swimmer crab, scallops and sar pak clams. The seafood is cooked together with fresh vegetables and served with a choice of comforting carbohydrates hot from the trolley. Every element is designed to complete the experience, making the meal feel abundant, satisfying and wonderfully communal.
One of the most memorable details is the seasoned boil liquid. After absorbing the natural sweetness and briny essence of the seafood, the broth becomes intensely flavourful. Instead of letting it go to waste, it is collected into a bowl and served as a savoury dipping sauce. Guests can enjoy it with bread, steamed rice or mantau, allowing every drop of flavour to be appreciated. It is rich, aromatic and deeply comforting — a reminder that sometimes, the best part of a seafood feast lies in the broth itself.
Beyond the main seafood boil, the afternoon extends into a beautifully curated free-flow antipasti and dessert experience. Before the seafood arrives, guests can explore a generous antipasti spread designed to awaken the palate.
The selection includes Parmesan and Cheddar cheese, chicken meatloaf, cured salmon, beef salami, and a variety of refreshing starters. The Thai salad is especially enjoyable, bringing together juicy pomelo and plump mussels for a tangy, vibrant and refreshing bite. It offers a bright contrast before the richer flavours of the seafood boil take centre stage.
For those who enjoy warm and comforting starters, the tomato soup with bakery bread is a lovely choice. Smooth, hearty and satisfying, it brings a familiar sense of comfort to the beginning of the meal. Guests can also build their own warm noodle soup, complete with a colourful variety of fresh greens, making it a comforting option for diners who appreciate something nourishing and customisable.
The experience is also thoughtfully inclusive in the way it caters to different appetites and dining preferences. Whether guests are looking for premium seafood, refreshing salads, warm soups, fresh greens, comforting carbs, local flavours or sweet creations, there is something for everyone to enjoy. It is a Sunday feast that feels suitable for families, couples, groups of friends and seafood lovers who enjoy both variety and quality.
After the savoury courses, the dessert section becomes a destination of its own. Midtown Brasserie presents a beautiful spread of sweet creations, ranging from elegant French-inspired pastries to nostalgic local favourites.
Guests can indulge in berry panna cotta, chocolate mousse, pandan cake, chocolate tart, passionfruit cheesecake, lemon meringue, chocolate cake, choux pastries, local kuih-muih and fresh fruits. The variety is impressive, offering something light, rich, creamy, fruity and comforting for every kind of dessert lover.
The freshly baked chocolate chip cookies are not to be missed. Served warm from the oven, they are buttery, soft in the centre and gently crisp at the edges. They bring a sense of childhood comfort, elevated by the pleasure of enjoying them fresh and warm in a premium hotel dining setting.
Another standout is the pecan tart, a refined dessert featuring buttery shortcrust pastry filled with a rich maple filling and crowned with golden toasted pecans. It is elegant, nutty and deeply satisfying, making it one of the must-try items for those who appreciate classic desserts with a polished finish.
For a warm dessert experience, the freshly prepared French toast is a highlight. Made upon request, it is soaked in a rich egg batter, caramelised beautifully on the griddle, and finished with a gentle torching for a crisp surface. Served warm with a scoop of velvety vanilla gelato, it is indulgent, comforting and beautifully balanced.
The house-made gelato selection adds another premium touch to the dessert journey. Available in four distinct flavours — vanilla, ube, pineapple and strawberry — each flavour brings its own character. The vanilla is classic and creamy, the ube is rich and earthy, the pineapple is bright and tropical, while the strawberry offers a refreshing fruity finish.
One of the most delightful interactive highlights is the chance to craft your own mango pavlova following the chef’s guidance. Guests can layer fresh mango with a crisp yet marshmallow-soft meringue shell, drizzle it with mango passion coulis, add velvety fresh cream, and finish with a sprinkle of grated lime. The result is a tropical, refreshing and beautifully textured dessert that feels both playful and refined.
What makes the Fin-Tastic Seafood Boil truly special is the overall dining rhythm. It is not a meal that should be rushed. It is designed for guests to arrive, explore, savour, share, laugh and linger. From the first bite of antipasti to the hands-on seafood boil and the final spoonful of dessert, the experience encourages diners to enjoy Sunday the way it should be enjoyed — slowly, generously and beautifully.
There is also a wonderful sense of togetherness in the presentation. The seafood boil naturally brings people closer around the table. It is interactive, engaging and relaxed, making it ideal for a meaningful Sunday gathering. Whether diners are celebrating with loved ones, catching up with friends, planning a family meal or simply treating themselves to a premium weekend indulgence, this is the kind of dining experience that feels memorable.
