RAMADAN is well underway, and a big positive of this festive season is the seeming torrent of promotions and special offers by various brands and restaurants aimed at the deal-hunting customer. As is fitting for the month of fasting many of the deals involve food, given that families big and small might want to indulge in a feast on occasion.

Here are seven deals that might strike your fancy:

McDonald’s Malaysia offers more menu item choices and best value Duo Set meal

McDonald’s Malaysia is offering customers more menu item choices at great value, as an alternative to their popular french fries until the global supply chain situation normalises. Customers have the option to choose either a sundae or a warm apple pie instead of french fries with every order of a Medium McValue Meal.

They can also opt for the Duo Set, a two-piece set meal comprising any food item with a drink, starting from RM7.90.

Currently, customers are still able to purchase french fries with their Medium McValue, based on the current remaining supply.

Subway unites Malaysians this Ramadan with Satu Kaki Lebih Mesra festive campaign

Subway Malaysia is celebrating family and togetherness this Ramadan with the launch of its one-foot closer or Satu Kaki Lebih Mesra campaign.

Beginning at the end of March, Subway restaurants in Malaysia introduced seasonal offerings for the whole family, including the Italian BMT, Roasted Chicken, Steak & Cheese, Chicken Teriyaki, and Chicken Slice at only RM19 for a footlong.

Enhance the festive season with "Raya Serba Baharu", says MR D.I.Y

From April 1 to May 8, shoppers around the country can find more than 200 Hari Raya essentials at selected MR. D.I.Y. stores nationwide. The ‘MR D.I.Y. Raya Serba Baharu’ range includes beautiful hanging ornaments, a myriad of decor items like wall stickers, pelita lamps for the more traditionally inclined, and LED lights for those looking for a modern twist. 

There are also home furnishings, with new designs in cushions, floor mats, table runners, tissue boxes, prayer mats, and vases, as well as new types of tableware to enhance every meal. One of the main highlights is special offers on curtains and floor mats, with discounts of more than 30%.

In addition to its ‘MR D.I.Y Raya Serba Baharu’ promotion, customers who spend a minimum of RM40 at MR. D.I.Y., RM50 at MR. TOY, or RM30 at MR. DOLLAR stores nationwide will receive complimentary Duit Raya packets (four pcs), while stocks last. 

The Baker’s Cottage introduces latest value-for-money offerings with RM39.99 Combo Set and more

Fast-restaurant chain, The Baker’s Cottage (TBC) recently rolled out its latest value-for-money combo packs. The new combo includes 1x Whole Roast Chicken, 2x bowl of rice, 4x Macau Egg Tarts, 2x Sliced Cakes and a 1x 1.5L Coke Bottle is priced at RM39.99 and can serve up to 3-4 pax. 

TBC’s other favourites, such as roasted chicken, are currently priced at RM14.99 per bird.

Costa Coffee launches exclusively designed Ramadan themed cups and seasonal beverages

Malaysians can enjoy the all-new seasonal beverage, Rasa Raya Vanilla Frappe from Costa Smart Café and returning favourites Bandung Oat Bandung, Chicken Rendang Wrap and Pandan Crunch Cake from Costa Coffee Stores. 

For those taking a trip back to their loved ones this festive season, the seasonal menu from Costa Coffee at the Kuala Lumpur International and Langkawi airports includes Salted Caramel Cappuccino and Pandan Crunch Cake. 

The limited-edition Costa Ramadan cups will be available at all Costa Coffee Stores and Costa Smart Café nationwide. 

Costa Coffee Sampul Raya, available in three colours (red, cream and green) will be redeemable with the purchase of Bandung Oat Bandung from Costa Coffee Stores or the new limited-time offer drink, Rasa Raya Vanilla Frappe from Costa Smart Café beginning April 7, while stocks last. 

Baking supplies chain Bake With Yen launches promotions for the festive season

In conjunction with the opening of its new superstore in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, baking supplies chain store Bake With Yen (BWY) rolled out a new program for Malaysian bakers, with the slogan ‘Raya Penu-Penuh’, that brings low prices for popular baking essentials. 

Brands participating in the BWY price initiative include Lurpak, Anchor, Oreo and Nutella, amongst many others. There is also a price lock on over 100 items from BWY’s in-house products throughout Ramadan and going into May.

Some of BWY’s in-house products that they are highlighting include the ‘Nasi Lemak Crunchy Cookie’ premix.

Seemingly counterintuitive, the savoury cookie, though it obviously lacks a lot of the textural variety of nasi lemak – the fluffy rice, spicy sambal, crunchy anchovies and peanuts, refreshing cucumber – does recall some aspects of the dish. 

In addition to price promotions, the ‘Raya Penuh-Penuh’ initiative also includes a trade-in partnership with kitchen equipment provider Innofood. Bakers can upgrade their mixers by bringing in their current ones for an upgrade. 

Dignity for Children: the gift of tradition and sustainability this Hari Raya

Lovingly-curated by sew X dignity and bake X dignity, transformational enterprises under Dignity for Children Foundation (Dignity), these Raya Gift Boxes.

A basic Gift Box of two jars of cookies with a set of three fabric sampul raya is available at RM110 per box.

For the cookies, the flavours available are Signature Chocolate Chip Cookies, Honey Cornflake Clusters, Pineapple Jam Tarts or Butternut Cookies. All cookies are made by the young apprentices of bake X dignity.

Dignity is also partnering with Asli Co. and OiLilin offering their special Malaysian Kuih soap and jasmine-scented recycled cooking oil candle. Either one of these extras can be added to a basic Raya Gift Box for RM155 per box. 

bake X dignity is also offering special onde-onde biscuits made out of butterscotch chips, gula Melaka and desiccated coconut served on a pandan butter crust, priced at RM38 per jar. – The Vibes, April 11, 2022
