Led by Head Chef, Chef Alvin, Chef Rohani, better known as Chef Y, and Pastry Chef Amber, the culinary team here have created set meals served with familiar local dishes for the breaking-of-fast meal this Ramadan month.

These set meals are provided for convenient takeaways in a choice of Family Iftar Boxes and Individual Iftar Boxes, offered in three menu options each for the Set Gembira and Set Selera Kampung to savour in the comfort of home.

This also gives an option for corporate groups to provide individual Iftar Boxes to each member of the team to conveniently enjoy either in the office or to take home.
