The holy month of Ramadan is upon us again and during this time, Ramadan Bazaars are set up in various locations offering buka puasa (breaking of fast) fare. Since moving to KL, we have without fail visited the Ramadan Bazaar at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn in Selangor (next to Carrefour).
The Ramadan Bazaars officially started their business today, and we were more impressed than ever at the quality and vast variety of food on offer there. It is indeed lovely walking around, soaking up the smells and sight of local, traditional Malaysian food.
Deep fried quail... finger licking good!
There are more stalls set up this year, and the crowd on the first day was crazy! Since we were slightly early, we managed to snap photos easily but come 6pm, it was hard to move around the place. The vendors this year are super friendly, all posing for photos for me. My favorite stalls were those with on-site cooking such as ayam percik, ayam golek (those chicken on rotisseries), satay, kuay teow goreng, ikan bakar, murtabak, roti john and chicken wings!
We were also happy to see lemang on sale (just one stall) here this year, finally! I see that most stalls still don't put up a sign with prices, but good job to those who do. Just a rough guide, ayam percik/golek usually costs RM18 each, satay RM0.60 per stick, chicken wings RM1.80 each and kuih-muih is 40sen each.
Anyway, here are the photos I snapped at the Ramadan Bazaar, do visit it if you get a chance - it's a great way of sampling lots of different Malaysian food under one carpark. ;)

ReplyDeletefood certainly looks delicious . I love the burung puyuh goreng
Was impressed with the offerings this year, hope they maintain the standard cos im going back for more :)
DeleteThe lemang and beef rendang get a big thumbs up from me !!
ReplyDeleteNext week we can go buy again!
DeleteI love Ramadan Bazaars ;D Those roast chickens are awesome! I am going to the one in JB on coming monday. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteFound anything interesting / unique at the bazaar today?
DeleteI thought of going today but in the end, my laziness got the better of me. Wow!!! So many stalls!!! I do wish they would make an effort to cover the food though...
ReplyDeleteI saw most of them got use covers but when it's busy, the customers will keep taking off the covers to get the food.
DeleteAll the foods look delicious. Sure can't decide what to choose :) thanks for all the photos.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. Am planning to visit more soon!
DeleteOmG!! I need to visit this place but I guess it is only for during Ramadhan?
ReplyDeleteThis year the Ramadan Bazaars will be on til 19 August.
DeleteAll the vendors look so happy.
ReplyDeleteYea they were all very happy to be photographed!
Deletegosh, i think it's been three or four years since my last visit to a ramadan bazaar. i guess i'm usually just too lazy, but let's see if this will be the year that i'll break that streak :D
ReplyDeleteI think it's fun to do at least one per year. Where's the nearest one to you?
Deleteseriously huge amount of things to choose from. Looks like they added on more stalls from last year! would love to have a try at the quail and the lemang+rendang combo :)
ReplyDeleteYea there are about 2 more extra rows of stalls this year. But less kuih and drinks shop compared to last yr.
DeleteI always wonder ... these stall owners, don't they feel like they're torturing themselves? I mean, already puasa 12+ hours no food no drink still need to cook and some more be around heavenly food aroma's but cannot eat until sundown ...
ReplyDeleteIt's very good business for them. It's not easy to get license at the popular bazaars
DeleteWow, it's a feast!! :D
ReplyDeleteOne whole month of feasting :D
DeleteYeah...the most anticipated month. I visited one yesterday in Seremban 2. I went at 4pm already quite jam. So much of food. Will go again this coming weekend!! :-D
ReplyDeleteNormally weekend very busy. This one also got busy by 5.30pm
DeleteI want the ayam bakar & chicken wings!
ReplyDeleteRamadhan Bazaar these days are getting more and more creative with the choices of yummies available. This one looks really good and since its quite near my place, I m going to have to visit this soon!
