Hari Raya Aidilfitri is fast approaching! Slated to fall on 31 March 2025, the festive season is set to see family and friends come together to celebrate with each other. There will be lots of joy and love as well as delicious treats, be it Beef Rendang, Lemang or traditional treats such as Kuih Bangkit and Biskut Makmur.
During the Raya holidays, there will also be a lot of excitement in the air as Malaysians balik kampung — making their respective ways back to their hometowns. Don’t want to go empty handed especially when going to visits and Raya open house? We have curated a list of last-minute edible gifts you can choose from.
The delectable options range from chocolates and cakes to dates and condiments. Think delicious chocolates from Venchi and ROYCE’, dates from Bateel and artisanal treats from some of the most popular hotel establishments in town.
Selamat Hari Raya!
