It’s a place where children can stay active, build confidence, enhance motor skills, and make new friends — all while having a blast.

While some visitors may find the prices slightly higher compared to neighbourhood bazaars, this could be attributed to operational and rental costs within a mall setting. That said, the variety, presentation, and overall experience add value to your visit. It’s a great spot for those who prefer comfort, accessibility, and a well-organised layout.

What makes this bazaar stand out is that it goes beyond just culinary offerings. As you walk through the space, you’ll also find clothing stalls selling Raya outfits for adults and children.

Ramadan is always a special time for gathering, reflection, and of course, meaningful iftar moments shared over good food. This year, Ramada by Wyndham Meridin Johor Bahru presents its 2026 Ramadan buffet themed Citra Warisan, a culinary tribute to Malaysia’s rich and diverse heritage.

Located at Delish Restaurant on Level 5 of the hotel, their buffet invites diners to experience flavours inspired by all 14 states of Malaysia bringing together traditional recipes, nostalgic kampung-style dishes, and a touch of international variety.

The highlight of Citra Warisan lies in its strong focus on authentic Malaysian cuisine. Guests can savour an impressive lineup of hot dishes such as:

• Ayam Bawang
• Gulai Daging Batang Pisang
• Kambing Masak Hitam
• Kari Kepala Ikan
• Deep-Fried Crispy Fish with Nyonya Sauce
• Crispy Butter Prawns with Chili Curry Leaves
• Hot Fried Chili Crab
• Mapo Tofu
• Sayur Goreng Jawa
• Braised Green Vegetables

Each dish reflects flavours sourced and inspired from different regions from the northern states like Kedah and Perlis to the east coast favourites of Pahang and beyond. It’s truly a feast that represents Malaysia on one dining table.

Seafood lovers will appreciate the fresh seafood-on-ice section, followed by sushi and sashimi selections that add a refined international touch to the buffet lineup.

Another exciting feature is the Seafood Shellout, perfect for those who enjoy bold flavours and a more hands-on dining experience.

The Ramadan-style Lok-Lok station also stands out, complete with dedicated staff assisting diners in preparing their selections — making it both interactive and family-friendly.

One of the most unique offerings this year is the Roasted Deer or locally known here in Malaysia as Rusa. It is available during weekends and it is a rare highlight not commonly found at Ramadan buffets in Johor Bahru. On weekdays, guests can enjoy Kambing Kuzi, slow-cooked to tender perfection.

The alfresco barbecue area adds to the vibrant atmosphere, where diners can witness live grilling sessions that enhance the Ramadan dining experience.

 

No Ramadan buffet is complete without refreshing drinks and indulgent desserts. Guests can enjoy freshly prepared Coconut Shake and Mango Shake, alongside a DIY Ice Kacang station.

The Citra Warisan Ramadan Buffet 2026 at Ramada by Wyndham Meridin Johor Bahru successfully delivers a dining experience rooted in Malaysian heritage while incorporating interactive live stations and unique highlights like Roasted Rusa and Seafood Shellout.

From the moment we stepped into Makan Kitchen, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Smiles were everywhere, the energy was lively, and you could truly feel the excitement from the entire food & beverage team as they prepared to welcome guests for the upcoming Ramadan season.

We began our food journey with a refreshing selection of ulam-ulaman, paired with popiah basah, condiments, and even fried fish. Simple yet satisfying, this section set a great tone for what was to come.

At the Malay Kitchen, we enjoyed watching the live preparation of beef and chicken satay, freshly grilled on the spot. The aroma alone was enough to draw a crowd. This section also featured comforting Ramadan favourites such as ketupat palas, nasi lemang, and flavourful soups filled with assorted short ribs and lamb — dishes that truly reflect the essence of traditional Ramadan dining.

At the Chinese Kitchen, Chef Hashrul introduced us to beautifully displayed Peking Duck, classic Chicken Rice, and steamed fish served alongside assorted dumplings and pau. It’s also worth noting that many dishes are served on an alternating basis, ensuring diners get to enjoy different selections throughout the Ramadan period.

To balance out the indulgence, the buffet also offers a good range of fresh fruits and beverages, perfect for refreshing the palate after a hearty meal.

Adding to the overall experience was a dedicated live band, which enhanced the festive atmosphere and made the entire evening feel even more memorable.

With such a packed buffet lineup across three kitchens, I personally selected a few dishes to try — and I must say, I was very satisfied with the overall quality and variety. I especially enjoyed pairing the fresh ulam-ulaman with some of the Malay main dishes, and yes, the fresh oysters are definitely worth trying.

From the extensive variety to the authentic flavours and warm hospitality, the Warisan Minang Ramadan Buffet 2026 at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru is truly a Ramadan dining experience to look forward to.
