The month of Ramadan has always been the pinnacle of social gatherings here in Malaysia. For Muslims, it is a month of repentance, self-reflection, self-control, and self-improvement. However Ramadan is actually so much more than that. In this multicultural piece of land we call Malaysia, we gather almost everyday around 5 or 6 pm to grab ourselves some grub be it to break our fast, or simply to sample street foods that would otherwise be hard to come by. Malays, Chinese, and Indians all partake in the event.
Ramadan bazaars is a place where we can set aside our differences and just be overwhelmed by the Malaysian cuisine. It is a yearly event, and it is that time of year where we prepare ourselves to eat delicious food.

Kampung Baru is nothing short of good stalls and restaurants all year round. However, it transcends its reputation even greater during Ramadan with its enormous bazaar. Anything from Cempedak Goreng to the humorously named Roti Goreng MacGyver can be found here. The narrow walkway and the teeming crowd can sometimes be a bit overwhelming.
