I attended the media preview of the Ramadan bazaar buffet at Thistle Johor Bahru which will be hosted during the coming Ramadan holy month from 6 Jun to 4 Jul.

Thistle Johor Bahru's Executive Chef Huzaidy has planned a bazaar themed buffet of over 80 dishes with live cooking stations and hawker stalls.

The bazaar buffet will be held at the spacious Orchid Ballroom and also at Thistle's poolside area which will be dressed with traditional oil lamps and decorations. I think it will have the great balik kampung feel - the perfect setting for get togethers with families and friends.

Executive Head Chef Mahmood and his team will bring back many traditional dishes, the kind that nenek (grandma) cooks during the holy month of Ramadan.
