The holy month of Ramadan is here again and the faithful will be fasting for the whole month. Fasting started on May 6 and from then on, they will abstain from food from dawn to dusk.
This is a time when families dine together, giving thanks to the food and the fact that they managed to fast for the day. This is also the time when mothers, wives and caregivers or maids cook for the whole family. Home cooked meals are of course commendable and healthy.
However there may be a time when one gets too tired to cook,or be late from the office or just caught up in traffic when breaking of fast nears. This is the time when one wish for a nice, cosy place to break the fast and eat at leisure without having to slave in the kitchen before hand.
