Hilton Kuala Lumpur unveils a culinary journey of unity and tradition through the ‘Merentasi Tradisi, Sajian Dulu dan Kini’ Ramadan campaign, coupled with the Green Ramadan Initiative 2024.
This is a worthwhile collaboration that combines Hilton’s Travel with Purpose strategy, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) West Asia’s ‘Recipe of Change’ Sustainable Ramadan Campaign, and Winnow’s AI technology for digital waste tracking from production to plate.
Hilton Kuala Lumpur’s renowned dining destination, Vasco’s, is proud to unveil its much-anticipated Ramadan buffet under the theme “Merentasi Tradisi, Sajian Dulu dan Kini”. The halal-certified outlet is set to welcome guests to enjoy the Ramadan buffet from 11 March – 9 April 2024.

Designed to foster a sense of unity and connection across generations, and with a strong ESG commitment, the campaign celebrates the diverse culinary traditions within the community while being kind to the environment.
Campaign Objectives:

ESG Commitment:
At the core of this initiative is a steadfast commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values, achieved through the responsible sourcing of ingredients, dedicated support for local businesses, and a comprehensive waste management strategy. Sustainable practices are prioritized throughout hotel operations in ensuring that waste is minimized, and actively seek eco-friendly solutions to contribute to a healthier planet and community.
“We are thrilled to present the Merentasi Tradisi, Sajian Dulu dan Kini Ramadan Buffet at Vasco’s. This culinary journey is not just about indulging in a variety of flavors; it’s a celebration of our shared heritage and the evolving tapestry of Ramadan cuisine from our generation to the Gen Z who are passionate about food cultures and trends,” said Linda Pecoraro, General Manager, Hilton Kuala Lumpur. “Moreover, in alignment with our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values, this Ramadan, we are proud to introduce a Green Ramadan initiative. Our commitment goes beyond responsible sourcing of ingredients and supporting local businesses. We have implemented the Winnow system to measure and manage food waste. Our chefs will faithfully record daily data into LightStay, a system developed to calculate and analyze sustainability performance throughout our hotel operations. Our Ramadan buffet features 70% locally sourced ingredients, with a commitment to minimizing single-use plastic throughout the production and buffet line. Additionally, we work with Vision Waste Disposal Sdn Bhd to ensure that our biodegradable waste is collected and produced into biogas to generate renewable energy. Behavioral interventions with our team members and suppliers further enhance our dedication to sustainability. This comprehensive approach reflects our dedication to a sustainable and mindful celebration for the present and generations to come” she added.
