Working or living in the city can sometimes make us crave for simple kampung food.

This Ramadan, if you are among those who want to break fast with kampung dishes, then head to Ramada Plaza Kuala Lumpur’s La Brasserie restaurant.

Dishes such as rendang tok, opor ayam, Minangstyle dishes and various types of kerabu will be the highlight there.

Restaurant executive chef Fadzil Arshad said those who loved kerabu or Malay salad would be excited with his menu.

“We have a wide range of kerabu such as kerabu ikan masin, kerabu pucuk pakuand kerabu bunga betik.

“Some of the raw ingredients can only be found in areas with Malay community such as Kampung Baru. However, we will serve them at the hotel,” he said.
