Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), which opened its doors for the first time on August 8, is preparing for a wholesome Ramadhan experience covering a sumptuous buffet selection which changes daily.

The month of Ramadhan is a one that is reserved for reflection, devotion to God and self control. It is said, that only through fasting, can man understand the sufferings of others around the globe, and be enlightened with a new found appreciation of what they have. Through this, believers are reminded of their social responsibility to share and give to those who are in need.

Many look forward to Ramadhan because of what it represents, and also because of the food bazaar, where local and festive delicacies are sold under the same roof. In multi ethnic Sarawak, for the Muslims non Muslims alike, the latter is an annually anticipated event.

Over the years, Ramadhan has been marketed as a food fest, with the promise of break fasting to a varied spread. At the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), they are offering a truly fulfilling berbuka puasa experience. BCCK’s team of chefs has in store, Ramadhan menus and which provide for a balanced dietary intake.

Their chefs will prepare all dishes with the freshest ingredients, adhering to stringent HACCP and Halal guidelines. Your family’s most memorable buka puasa will just happen in BCCK.

According to health tips from dieticians and doctors in general, refined carbohydrates or fast-digesting foods such as dates may be better taken at Iftar to rapidly restore blood glucose levels, after a long day of fasting.

Dates are an excellent source of sugar, fibre, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium and have been recommended since the days of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) as a good way of breaking the fast.

Taken from a sample menu of what their chefs have in store, imagine breaking fast with Tunisian, Egyptian and Saudi dates, followed by a refreshing serving of Air Kelapa Muda or Apricot Juice. A selection of assorted nuts, dried fruits and local kuihs will also be served.

In nourishing the mind and body throughout the month of Ramadhan, normal quantities of food from the major food groups: bread and cereal, milk and dairy product, fish, meat and poultry, bean, vegetable and fruit should be consumed.

In line with this, the Main Course in BCCK’s Ramadhan buffet (which changes daily) serves items such as Nasi Tomato, Kari Ayam Madras, Daging Rendang Tok, Ikan Goreng Masak Acar, Udang Goreng Cili Kering dan Gajus, Sotong Goreng Berlada, Gulai Lemak Sayuran, Tofu Sen Gen Masak Sayuran, Itik Panggang, Satays and Kambing Panggang.

BCCK’s Ramadhan buffet menu also includes Appetisers, Fruit Pickles, Side Dishes, Local Greens and Sambal, Soups, Desserts and a selection of Assorted Thirst Quenchers. Menu for BCCK’s Ramadhan Buffet changes daily.

As this is BCCK’s first Ramadhan, this one-of-a-kind experience can be enjoyed at just RM55++ for adults, and RM25++ for children between four to 12 years old. BCCK’s Ramadhan Buffet starts on August 22 to September 15, 2009 and vouchers are now on sale at BCCK.
