iLotus Restaurant continues to be a hot favorite among locals for breaking fast. Last year, when we were there, it was really packed, and this year, even with added capacity, the place felt really packed as well. Thankfully we were seated alfresco and it did feel a bit less claustrophobic I must say!

Overall a great value deal with many different dishes to choose from, plus a mongolian barbeque and a noodle station. A variety of freeflow drinks like bandung, fresh soyabean, and teh tarik are also included, which I think is great for a thirsty faster!

The Mongolian Barbeque. Look at all the plates stacked up! The plates have a clever identification system using these little numbered clips that are put on each table.

Noodle station. The Tomyam soup was SUPERB with the flat rice noodles!

The Ramadhan stalls are a great place for a photo outing and yesterday was no different. Well, the difference was that the weather was quite grey and made for an interesting backdrop to all the activities at the stadium gerais.

Sugarcane juice or Aying Galagah is a staple favorite for thirsty fasters

Many non-muslims also visit the ramadhan gerai to avail of the delicious fare, including this chap whom I bumped into... Yo AL!

On a photo outing you come across all sorts... including poseurs

It's been quite awhile since I last posted anything on that breakfast institution called Jing Chew heheh! So here for your enjoyment are pics from the last JC session before the fasting month which took place last weekend. Not as big a turn out, but still it was great to catch up with some of the lads from the BFF.
