Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral has recently introduced its own food truck to cater to its own private outdoor events, as well as to the corporate crowd in the vicinity.
Called Re:Fuel On Wheels, this is the first food truck to be offered by a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Greg Gubiani, general manager of Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral, said the food truck and crew can be rented for outdoor catering services and private functions. He said: “We can tailor-make the menu and food, which is always served fresh as it is prepared in the truck.”
He further explained that the idea of the food truck came about as there was no such offerings from hotels in the city. He added: “It was very well received by event organisers, as they are assured that the hygiene and food standards are the same as that offered by the hotel.”
Just a day after the launch on July 18, a request came for a 1,000 pax request from a nearby mall. At press time, it was currently the truck’s largest catering event.
Within Earth Holidays’ executive director, Saini Vermeulen, shared: “The food truck gives us the flexibility to offer quick bites and lunches when we conduct outdoor events in areas where it is difficult to get good quality food. Aloft’s newest offering is very much welcomed because it brings an international branded chain’s food right to you, wherever that may be.”
Re:Fuel On Wheels is a derivation from the hotel’s 24-hour grab and go concept store, Re:Fuel, which offers self-serve gourmet eats.
Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral is also maximising its location, within the city’s transportation hub of Kuala Lumpur Sentral and surrounded by corporate offices, to draw in meetings. Its bar, W XYZ was been revamped recently to make it more comfortable for dining and discussions.
“It used to be more like a lounge in the past,” said Gubiani.
The rooftop bar area which initially had a cigar room has been turned into a multifunctional room with natural daylight, and is equipped with meeting facilities such as a projector.
