For the specialties, I would recommend the Nasi Kandar and Nasi Beriyani Gam with all its accompanying condiments. The Lamb Kuzi is another popular must-try. Sometimes on a busy day, two whole lambs are used”, explains Chef Samsuddin Ahmad, Sunway Putra Hotel’s Executive Sous Chef when asked on the theme for this year’s Ramadhan Promotion.

“A total of seven different menus will be rotated throughout the fasting month, offering variety and to suit all palates. Of course, the emphasis will be on action stalls and Coffee House’s signature offerings. Indeed, with such a wide selection, it is no wonder that some of our regular diners drop by for berbuka puasa with either their family or friends every week”, added Chef Samsuddin.
