How is the food at 21 On Rajah?
I was delighted by the array of options available for iftar or breaking fast. The Ramadan Buffet menus feature an assortment of dishes that were specially curated for the holy month, but there are still items from their regular menu that's available too. I'll let the pictures do the talking here!
The traditional iftar rice porridge, Bubur Lambuk, was also served at the buffet, adding a touch of nostalgia for those who grew up with this dish during Ramadan. My mum enjoyed this dish the most because it was so well balanced and flavourful. This dish comes either with chicken or beef, but with all of the spices that Bubur Lambuk is known for.
We were also served the Pengat Durian and Mango Sticky rice for desserts. If you're not a fan of durian like me, don't worry! There's still a wide selection of desserts that includes Chocolate Fondue and Churros, fresh fruits, ice cream, pancakes, waffles and local desserts like Kuih Lapis or Bubur Hitam.
For those who prefer Mediterranean cuisine, 21 On Rajah also has an impressive selection of dishes such as Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Lamb Moussaka, Moroccan Chicken Rabat Tagine with Lemon, Spanish Seafood Paella, and more. The Belado Paru with Long Bean (beef lung) was also a unique and flavorful dish that we thoroughly enjoyed.
The Ramadan and Hari Raya Buffets offer a wide range of options that will satisfy any palate. The prices are reasonable, with the Iftar weekday dinner buffet and Hari Raya brunch buffet priced at $62++ per adult and $31++ per child, and the Iftar and Hari Raya weekend dinner buffets priced at $72++ per adult and $36++ per child.
I highly recommend you to make a reservation beforehand to ensure a smooth and hassle-free dining experience. Specially for all our explorers, quote "exploretomakan20" when making your booking to get 20% off your dining experience at 21 on Rajah.
