| TOP SEVEN RAMADHAN BUFFETS IN KUALA LUMPUR |
Traditionally, the month of
Ramadhan has been associated with several communal values, including empathy,
forgiveness, charity, steadfastness and patience. This time marks the perfect
opportunity for Malaysians from all walks of life to celebrate togetherness in
a true spirit of unity and concord. It is a time where family, friends and
loved ones gather together to strengthen family ties, develop lasting bonds and
encourage comradery and goodwill among themselves.
And what better way to do
this over a Buka Puasa buffet session while enjoying the diverse range of
cuisines that Malaysia is known for. If you’re wondering where to dine this
