Buka puasa with loved ones at SANTAI, where Chef Mohammad Rizuwan, Chef de Cuisine of Production Kitchen at The RuMa Hotel and Residences, draws from the flavours of his childhood as he recalls the experiences that have shaped his palate and culinary abilities. 

“Ramadan is a time for connection with all that we hold dear: our values, our community, our  family and our roots,” he shares. 

“I learned to cook from my mother and to me, the festive season  will always bring back the flavours of ulam-ulaman kampung – herbs like pucuk paku, daun selom  and jantung pisang grown in our own backyard that my mother and I would pick and prepare for  buka. 

“These traditional preparations will always take me back to my childhood – a reminder of the  importance of family and of sharing during this special time.”

The Ramadan buffet at SANTAI will feature a glorious spread of crowd pleasers such as lemang, daging serunding, satay and ayam rendang complemented by a large variety of ulam-ulaman, and  kerabu for a burst of vibrancy and freshness.
