W Kuala Lumpur’s FLOCK is no stranger to the spotlight. Known for its vibrant brunches and bold grill-driven flavours, the Level 8 dining space has built a name for shaking up expectations of the hotel buffet format.
On 11 April, for one night only, the effervescent all-day dining space at W Kuala Lumpur invites Bocado—the Spanish kitchen famed for its devotion to the Mediterranean sea—for an opulent, ocean-driven affair where flames, flair, and fusion take centre stage.
The premise: a collaborative seafood buffet where FLOCK’s Pan-Asian edge meets Bocado’s refined Spanish sensibilities. From classic Iberian plates to Southeast Asian spice, the event brings together two culinary styles with distinct points of view and a shared commitment to quality ingredients.
The Collaboration
FLOCK’s Chef Anas Luqman and Bocado’s Chef Victor Santos spearhead the evening’s lineup, crafting a buffet that bridges charcoal-forward Asian cooking with the soulful depth of Spanish seafood traditions.
“This collaboration is all about bringing together the best of both worlds—Bocado’s bold Spanish flavours and Flock’s vibrant Pan-Asian grill,” says Chef Anas. “Both Spanish and Pan-Asian cuisines have a deep respect for fresh, high-quality ingredients and expressive flavours.
Highlights to Sink Into
From FLOCK’s fiery grill:
- Fresh Water Prawn, Sriracha Lemongrass Butter
Think: smoky prawns drenched in a citrus-laced, spicy butter sauce that lingers with umami. - Singapore Chili Slipper Lobster, Fried Mantou
A tribute to Southeast Asia’s most beloved crab dish, reimagined with tender slipper lobster and golden mantou buns for unapologetic sauce-mopping.
From Bocado’s Iberian imagination:
- Vieiras en Crema de Puerro
Seared scallops cradle in roast leek cream, crowned with Parmesan crisps and bursts of Caviaroli. A dish that whispers, then sings. - Pulpo a la Gallega
Atlantic octopus—silken, almost smoky—resting on potato chiffon and kissed with the earthy perfume of smoked paprika.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of FLOCK, this is no ordinary seafood buffet—the finesse and thought behind each dish elevate it far beyond your typical buffet expectations.
From succulent shellfish to delicate, buttery fish, every dish is a celebration of the ocean’s bounty, elevated with bold aromatic spices and cutting-edge cooking techniques
