when Muslims break their fast
at the time of sunset during the
Islamic month of Ramadhan. In

done in the company of family, friends,
colleagues and associates. As Malaysia is
a melting pot of a huge variety of cuisines,
you’ll never be short of choices when it
comes to selecting the best eateries this
