Bazaar Ramadan at EQ
Iftar at Nipah has been a long-standing tradition at EQ. The breaking of fast provides the perfect opportunity for families, friends and work associates to gather to enjoy the authentic Malay delights.
This year, EQ will present two different ways to enjoy the good food offered here. Citarasa Nipah offers the classic Iftar experience with a buffet spread encompassing the best of Malay flavours, curated by Chef Zaini.
“A good Malay meal is like a good story. There needs to be a variety of elements to make everything work. The sour components need a sweet opposite, rich tastes will need some sharp flavours to offset it. My goal this year is to present a complete experience of Malay food for all to enjoy,” says Zaini.
Start with traditional salads ranging from fiddlehead fern (pucuk paku) to fresh raw crudites (ulam-ulaman) like pennywort (pegaga), winged beans and dips such as sambal belacan, air asam and budu.
The highlight of every Iftar buffet, the whole roast lamb, is grilled to perfection. The kambing golek is best savoured with fluffy beriani rice. Other classic dishes on the buffet include seabass, sliced beef (daging dendeng berlada) and bubur lambuk.
The Nipah Shell Out will feature a delectable assortment of fresh seafood, perfectly marinated and lightly cooked to ensure retention of flavours. Featured in the mix will be prawns, lala, mussels, bamboo clams and crabs in 3 flavours: kam heong/sweet and sour/salted egg.
Citarasa Nipah will be from March 12 to April 9 from 6.30PM to 10.30PM daily, priced at RM238+/adult and RM114+/child (age 6-12). Early Bird promotion from March 12-17, and April 7-9 is priced at RM198+/adult.
The all new EQ Bazaar, seeks to recreate the street Ramadan bazaar common in suburban neighbourhoods. Malay street food usually available here include rotisserie chicken (ayam golek), roti John and a variety of sweet treats and small bites.
EQ Bazaar will be held at Level 1 from March 12 to April 19 from 6.30PM to 10.30PM daily, priced at RM148+/adult and RM74+/child (age 6-12), from 12 to 17 March 2024. From March 18 to April 9, charges will be RM168+/adult and RM84+/per child. Group dining is at RM148+ for adults, with a min of 10 diners.
“Ramadan is a beautiful time of the year characterised by an emphasis on community and relationship-building. EQ is honoured to host many gatherings of fraternity and good-will, and will always ensure our guests enjoy food that transports them back to the old days, even as they work on building future relations,” said General Manager, Gerard Walker.
