Eat your way through these bazaars
Nothing screams Ramadan season more than taking a trip down to your local bazaar and exploring all the different food stalls. Most of these Ramadan bazaars will open till the end of May / early June, so you still have plenty of time to go to one near you and embark on a glorious food journey.
Must-eat food in Ramadan bazaar:
Before going to the bazaar, make sure you have a game plan on what you must absolutely get. With a seemingly endless street of stalls, it can get pretty overwhelming. So here are the top 5 food to look out for in the bazaar.
1. Roti John

An omelette sandwich made with a long, soft rolled split and fried on a flat skillet with minced meat and eggs, you can easily easily find Roti John in a Ramadan bazaar. Sometimes topped liberally with chili sauce and mayo, Roti John is typically cut into several portions so it’s perfect for sharing!
2. Murtabak

Spiced minced meat and onions stuffed into a roti, murtabak is best enjoyed immediately when it’s still warm and crusty. Conventionally in chicken or lamb variations, vendors have been more adventurous with new flavour combinations like murtabak Maggi, murtabak cheese and more!
3. Fried snacks

Let’s be honest, anything fried is bound to be delicious. It’s hard to resist the fried snacks in the bazaar like samosa, keropok lekor, pisang goreng, cucur udang, and the list goes on!
4. Kuih-muih

Nothing gets more intense than squeezing to the front of the stall and having to pick just a few from the endless choices amongst the trays of colourful kuih-muih. From classic favourites like kuih talam and onde-onde to specialty ones, it’s tempting to just get one of each!
5. Ayam percik
You can spot ayam percik in the making from miles away from the clouds of smoke coming from the BBQ! The chicken is marinated in a spicy-sweet sauce, then grilled for a smoky, caramelised finish. Good to eat on its own but it’s best accompanied with nasi campur!
