THE “do it yourself” (DIY) concept appears to be a common feature in the Ramadan spread at Tropicana Golf and Country Resort, with several sections offering diners the option of customising their meals.
For example, the stock and ingredients for the Ekor Lembu Duda, Urat Keting Sekuat Badang and Gear Box Kambing soups are served separately.
That allows adventurous diners to have the lamb marrow with oxtail soup.

Straws are also provided for diners to better relish the marrow.
Other stalls that feature the DIY concept include the Nasi Kerabu Ulam Setaman, Rojak Kelantan with Thai Sauce and Ice-Cream Goyang, where diners can choose their own condiments and “shake” their own ice-cream.
The Nasi Kerabu Ulam Setaman is ideal for those who want a healthier option, as they can heap on the finely shredded herbs and vegetables such as bean sprouts, torch ginger flower, long beans and cashew leaves for this dish.
