KOTA KINABALU: The arrival of Ramadan is much anticipated as it brings with it a unique and exhilarating thrill, being a time of heightened spirituality, self-reflection, and immense devotion for Muslims.
With it comes the test of faith especially for the fasting populace. When the breaking of fast arrive in the evenings, many anticipate to dine in comfort and savour the food. Most will go home and cook for their loved ones, enjoying the togetherness that comes with dining with one’s family.
Not everyone can go home and cook though, or go home and eat with their family. There are those who work until late in the evenings, travelers on business trips, families on vacations and other members of the mobile community. There are also those who wish to treat their family to an evening out and break their fast outside. Of course, some of us just want to sample the various types of food being offered and sold in the various outlets and food stalls that mushroom around the city at that time.
