Once a year, the blessed month of Ramadan is observed by Muslims through the act of fasting from dawn to sunset. Iftar, or breaking fast begins with a couple of dates and water as per the sunnah of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). The act of having Iftar with friends and family is an affair to celebrate the communal spirit of Ramadan, sharing food together and spending time together.
This year, we went down to try out some of the Ramadan buffets to give you the 10 Best Ramadan Buffets in Singapore. Spend this Ramadan with your family and friends at the ideal Ramadan Buffet that suits your own personal style!
