This Ramadan, Grand Hyatt Singapore invites guests to break fast in a warm, communal setting with a thoughtfully curated Iftar buffet at StraitsKitchen. From 2 March to 31 March 2025, Singapore’s first Halal-certified buffet restaurant in a five-star hotel will serve an authentic spread of Singaporean and Middle Eastern delights, perfect for gathering with family and friends.

A Rich and Diverse Iftar Buffet

Led by Chef Mohamad Mohamed Abdelmoety Ahmed, Chef Khairul Akmal Bin Zakaria, and Chef de Cuisine Nelson Wong, the culinary team has created an immersive Ramadan dining experience, blending heritage-rich Malay, Peranakan, and Middle Eastern flavours.

A Lavish Spread of Iftar Specialties

The meal begins with a selection of mezze such as hummus, baba ghanoush, and warm pita bread, followed by an array of live cooking stations showcasing classic regional dishes.

• Malay Barbecue Station – Featuring grilled chicken, beef, and mutton satay, served with warm peanut sauce and rice cakes.
• Shawarma Station – Freshly carved chicken shawarma wrapped in pita with tahini sauce, onions, and crisp lettuce.
