LIKE every other year, the Ramadan buffet at Paya Serai in Petaling Jaya Hilton is the most talked about.
It tantalises the taste buds with local delights and more.

Fresh: Steamed Putu Piring is part of the array. |
Abdul Aziz said there were about 800 people who came for the Ramadan buffet last year.
“We expect the crowd to increase in the second and third week of Ramadan. During the first week, many Muslims will break fast with their family members at home,” he said.
