This year’s Ramadan is certainly looking more festive than the last two, now that families and friends can celebrate the joyous occasion with fewer restrictions as Malaysia transitions to the endemic phase.

With the easing of Covid-19 measures, Muslims who observe this fasting month, or anyone who indulges in a wide array of delicacies, now have various options to dine at hotels and savour all-you-can-eat buffets. Think of the succulent roasted mutton, chicken rendang, fish head curry, satay, and the delightful spread of mouth-watering desserts that perfectly complements your feast.

In this special month, various banks are rewarding their credit and debit cardholders with a host of discounts on Ramadan buffets. Available at renowned hotels and restaurants across Malaysia, here’s a round-up of banks that offer Ramadan buffet discounts that you can take advantage of.
