The cheese selection ranged from mild to stronger cow’s and goat’s milk varieties.
Our Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara buffet review takes us back to C’est La Vie Sunday Brunch at Kwee Zeen. We began at the seafood counter, then made our way through warm dishes, desserts, and a bread and cheese selection that became the highlight of our visit. We had enjoyed the Mosaic buffet at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur and wondered how Kwee Zeen would compare, though we were just as interested in what made this brunch memorable on its own.

Is Kwee Zeen’s Sunday brunch worth booking?
Best for: Diners who enjoy a broad Sunday buffet, particularly seafood, cheese, bread, and desserts.
Kwee Zeen is the all-day dining restaurant at Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara. On our brunch visit, black metal shelving, large spotlights, leather-covered seating, and generous space between tables gave the room a relaxed character. Even with several buffet sections to explore, we could move around without feeling crowded.
The seafood, dessert, and cheese counters occupied different parts of the room, which gave us plenty of reasons to take another lap. Small design touches also connected this meal to our earlier afternoon tea at the hotel.
The Kwee Zeen buffet we tried combined Asian dishes, Western cooking, and a noticeable French accent. Its range was impressive, especially because diners with different preferences could make very different meals from the same room. We also appreciated the dedicated gluten-free corner.
At the time, Kwee Zeen also had an à la carte menu with a De-Light section listing calories. Our focus here is the C’est La Vie Sunday Brunch we ate, since weekday menus and promotions should be checked afresh with the restaurant.
The Sunday spread moved from chilled seafood and salads to dim sum, carved meat, cheese, bread, and an extensive dessert counter. We found plenty to like across the room, though the bread station and cheese selection are what we still remember most clearly.
The cold counter had seafood on ice, including crabs, clams, prawns, and oysters, alongside vegetable dishes and salads. It was easy to build a plate to your own taste. We particularly liked prawn guacamole with roasted green asparagus, and the staff kept the seafood area tidy through the meal.
For a warm start, both the roasted pumpkin soup and double-boiled old cucumber soup made an impression. Caprese salad and cold cuts offered another route before the larger hot dishes.
Soft drinks, beer, and wine were included in the brunch package we encountered; Champagne was separate. That distinction belongs to our old visit and should be confirmed when booking a current package.
The cow’s and goat’s milk cheeses ranged from mild to strong, with nuts, dried fruit, and grissini close by. We kept coming back to the bread counter: sourdough, multigrain loaves, baguettes, buns, and gluten-free bread made it one of the most varied we had encountered at a hotel buffet. The black olive tapenade was a welcome addition.
Warm options crossed cuisines without making the room difficult to navigate. We saw freshly steamed dim sum and a carving station where slow-roasted Angus striploin came with potato gratin and roasted vegetables. Meat-free choices were present too, though the exact dishes will vary by service.
The sweet counter leaned toward Western cakes and pastries while leaving room for fruit and other lighter choices. There was a chocolate fountain with fruit and marshmallows, and we tried crème brûlée, tiramisu, and chocolate cake. The mousse-filled chocolate cake was especially rich.
Berry choux, strawberry mousse, and fruit tart rounded out the display. By then, it was the bread and cheese we were still talking about, which says something considering the size of the dessert spread.
Kwee Zeen delivered one of our more memorable Kuala Lumpur hotel brunches. Fresh seafood, attentive station upkeep, and the Angus carving counter gave the meal breadth; the gluten-free choices and unusually good bread and cheese made it stand apart. A few presentation details did not quite match the best counters, but we left very happy with the overall experience. For anyone booking today, we would first check which buffet is running and what the package includes.
