Resorts World Awana’s “Iftar Pahang Timur-Barat”: A taste of tradition

Resorts World Awana in Genting Highlands, Pahang welcomes the holy month with “Iftar Pahang Timur-Barat”, a Ramadan dining experience inspired by the flavours and local food traditions of Pahang.

Designed to bring families, friends and communities together, the dining experience reflects the warmth, generosity and togetherness that defines the season.

Guests begin their iftar with a dedicated kurma counter featuring both imported and local dates, followed by a selection of traditional heritage sweets under the theme “Semanis Tradisi, Selembut Dirasa”.

The dessert spread celebrates heritage kuih such as kuih lapis, onde-onde, seri muka, akok, bingka, tepung pelita and badak berendam, complemented by fresh local fruits and Nyonya-style pickles, alongside comforting bowls from the Bubur Warisan Pahang station.

The culinary stations showcase influences drawn from Pahang, reflecting the character of towns, coastlines and everyday street-style dining to offer a rich, varied gastronomic landscape.

Guests can savour signature roasted meats from the Champion Kambing Golek station, freshly fried seafood at the Celup Tepung Beserah counter, and aromatic soups accompanied by Benggali bread.

Weekend diners are treated to grilled seafood inspired by Tanjung Lumpur while other stations present street-inspired favourites such as satay, otak-otak, murtabak, roti john, shawarma, nasi kandar selections, fried snacks, noodle dishes and laksa.

At the heart of the buffet, rotating main-course selections present comforting dishes rooted in local cooking traditions.

Diners can enjoy comforting staples including rendang tok, ayam masak merah, ayam kerutuk, gulai kawah daging, patin masak tempoyak, singgang daging and curry favourites, complemented by fragrant rice selections and classic vegetable dishes that round out the meal.

Finish the evening in style with cooling desserts such as ice cream, ais batu campur and cendol, alongside a range of beverages such as sirap bandung, teh tarik, fruit-based drinks and local thirst quenchers.

Altogether, the dining experience embodies the spirit of abundance, gratitude and togetherness while celebrating Malaysia’s culinary diversity.
