THIS Ramadan, Wild Rice Restaurant at The Boulevard-St Giles Premier Hotel, Kuala Lumpur is offering prime cuisine at a reasonable price.

The menu features the favourite local dishes of Malaysia’s first four prime ministers – Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Several main dishes which capture the taste buds of the former leaders are traditional and all-time favourites, many of which originated from their respective hometowns.

Among Tunku’s favourites are Ayam Kuzi Kismis, Perut Lembu Masak Lemak Cili, Daging Kandar Mamak and Ikan Keli Goreng Berlada.

Dr Mahathir’s top choices are Daging Kicap Rempah Hitam, Kambing Dalca, Siput Sedut Cili Berserai and Kari Ketam Kampung Utara.

There is also a wide range of appetisers, salads and soups.

Pecal is a a mix of vegetables eaten with a spicy peanut dip.
