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.

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.
