We're in the middle of Ramadan now, which is a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community observed by Muslims everywhere. During this time, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, and typically have a pre-dawn meal and a nightly feast to break their fast. The dinner meals are known as iftar, and many places offer Ramadan buffets. If you're on the hunt for some buka puasa places this Ramadan, here's a list of places in KL & Selangor where you can do so!
