Don't know what to cook for Iftar?

It’s the time of the month where “I don’t know what to cook!!” is something we hear almost every day for 30 days – Ramadan. Sure, there are other options such as bazaars. Who doesn’t like bazaars, right? But let’s be real, nothing beats home-cooked meals. No queuing up, no crowds (hello, COVID), less money spent and 100% delicious.

Ramadan meal preps may be a little (very…) challenging but with planning, a few creative ideas and the help of food influencers, you can easily make amazing healthy and enjoyable Iftar meals throughout the Holy month!

Good thing Instagram is filled with local food influencers who shares various food recipes. Insta-life savers. Most of them have a series where they cook Iftar dishes for 30 days. To make your life even easier, here are our favourites.
