PETALING JAYA: Ice-cold drinks brimming with condensed milk and sweet traditional kuih are commonly found at many Ramadan bazaars, and for many, they are a popular choice when breaking their fast.

"I can't resist breaking my fast with a sweet treat; it’s my favourite part of the evening,” says 32-year-old writer Kamal Hassan, who frequents Ramadan bazaars daily to buy food and drinks for iftar.
