In many Muslim households in Malaysia, dates are a must-have during Ramadan as they are often the first foods consumed upon the breaking of the fast.

One of the reasons that many Malaysian Muslims have remained steadfast in keeping up with the tradition of breaking fast with dates is that a pack of dates can start from RM6, making it an affordable option for all income levels.
