Hello and a blessed Ramadhan month.
Ramadhan is a month long practice of blessings and thanks givings. In Malaysia, irregardless of our religion background, we respect and embraces each others differences. We come together in gesturing this differences where everyone understands and observe the meaning behind this holy practice.
During this period, temporary bazaar stalls are set up in many designated areas. You will get the chance to taste the array of food unique to the muslims. Not wanting to miss showcasing themselves, our local hotels are joining the bandwagon preparing their own specialties and promotions. I am very fortunate to get to taste from one of our local boys, the Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, on the very first day of this meaningful month.
