Have your iftar in style at Harummanis at Sultan Gate, where acclaimed chef and restaurateur Akmal Anuar has curated a sharing menu this Ramadan from March 10 to April 9.

Expect traditional Malay and Indonesian dishes with a creative twist like the Indonesian ketoprak salad, this time dressed in a Japanese white sesame sauce, before indulging in mains like the lamb shank that comes with spiced basmati rice, acar vegetables, and pineapple and almond chutney.
