Besides jazzing up our homes, one of the things that many (if not all) of us look forward to while getting ready for Raya is the food. That's right - we're talking about your traditional favourites like rendang, satay, lemang and more! As much as we all enjoy digging into these delicious dishes, anyone who has prepared a feast for the holidays knows how much work goes into cooking it. So, if you or the 'chef' in your house are looking to take a break this year, we're here to share a list of places where you can get Raya food in KL delivered to your doorstep ?
