As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, many Malaysians are eager to break fast with their loved ones and friends, savoring the joyous atmosphere and delicious meals that come with the occasion.
However, with varying budgets and preferences, choosing the right venue or dining experience can be a challenge. To cater to the diverse needs of fellow Malaysians, we’ve curated a list of affordable and luxurious options for breaking fast in Kuala Lumpur.
Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly street food or indulgent fine dining, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this Ramadan.
Explore Bazaar Ramadan for affordable delights
Ramadan bazaars are a treasure trove of affordable and delicious street food, making them a favorite among locals. Though the prices have risen at this year’s bazaar, it’s still bearable.
Head to bazaars like TTDI Ramadan Bazaar or Stadium Shah Alam Ramadan Bazaar to sample a wide variety of Malay, Indian, and Chinese delicacies at wallet-friendly prices. From savory satay, roti john to sweet delights like cendol and kuih, these bazaars offer a feast for the senses without breaking the bank.
But make sure to check your food before buying, as there are too many food fails this year in Bazaar Ramadan. So, by checking your food, you can avoid falling victim to it.
