Quoted from a Muslim friend of mine who’s fasting right now, “A full day of hunger is intense enough for a buffet”. True enough, nothing is more satisfying than ending a day of fasting with a sumptuous spread for buka puasa that you can enjoy with your friends and family. 

With that said, here’s a compilation of halal buffet dinners in Singapore at $35/pax and under, which you can break fast with, or feast on after Ramadan.

Note: Prices are subject to GST and service charge. 

 

1. Rhombus Pizza – DIY your own mini pizzas (from $18.90/pax)

Keep it on the savoury side with the classic pepperoni and cheese pairing, or get creative with chocolate chips, marshmallows and Nutella sauce.

The cheese trend certainly isn’t dying anytime soon and the highlight of the pagoda is no doubt the nacho cheese fondue. Coat your grilled meat with a thick and creamy layer of cheese for an added dimension of flavour.

At just 50 cents more for $35.50/pax on weekdays, it’d be a shame if we didn’t mention Chef Wan’s Kitchen’s Ramadan Buffet at all. Though their weekend prices are slightly higher at $40.50/pax on weekends, you can expect a generous selection of Malay dishes from Laksa to Kambing Soup that’ll make for a sumptuous feast for Iftar.

Make sure to try Chef Wan’s specialties such as this Oxtail Soup that has been simmered for hours in spices, promising to be rich and gelatinous with a full bodied flavour. Another signature dish would be the aromatic and creamy Selangor Beef Rendang
