The most wonderful time of the year is upon us again – Ramadan! We all know the holiest month in Islam as a time of spiritual reflection, but Ramadan is also the time where we count our blessings and be grateful for the things that we have in life.

More than that, it’s a time where we spend precious time with our family and loved ones – especially during sahur and iftar. Thanks to a variety of food delivery options, like foodpanda, you can easily settle your meals with a simple booking and enjoy a feast at home. So, here’s the only guide you’ll need for 10 awesome eateries which deliver mouth-watering dishes for the perfect iftar gathering ?

1. Arnold’s Fried Chicken

We’re sure by now you’d be very familiar with Arnold’s Fried Chicken. Their perfectly battered deep fried chicken is a crowd pleaser and what’s better than savouring it yourself?  Sharing it with your loved ones of course!

Alternatively, you can also get their Arnold’s Spring Chicken Meal for ONLY $12.80. This is the best excuse for sharing as you won’t want to eat a whole chicken alone. The spring chicken is also a great option if you don’t feel like eating a lot, and this is totally relatable during Ramadan. Well, breaking fast with Arnold’s Fried Chicken is one sure way to keep you excited throughout the day!

2. Coba-Coba

This next eatery on our list serves you good ‘ol nasi ambeng and the best part about this traditional Malay dish is that you need to sit down and share a tray of rice with your loved ones. And you’ll be pleased to know that Coba-Coba delivers trays of nasi ambeng right to your doorstep!
