By Azlan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan - A prize war to attract people breaking the fast with buffet promotions has started and food outlets have come up with irresistible offers like airline tickets and Umrah packaged to lure customers.

From local to continental, to even Japanese and Italian cuisines, restaurants are offering a wide array of mouthwatering dishes.

And most of them offer prayer rooms for those wishing to perform the obligatory and highly recommended 'Terawikh' and 'Witir' prayers.

An Orchid Garden Hotel food and beverage manager said they are doing very well with an average of 150 customers dining daily and they expect the figure to reach 250 as days go by. Yesterday, bookings for 200 patrons were made.

He said they offer 20 types of appetisers, 12 main courses as well as stalls for 'Roti', 'Murtabak' and the local 'Ambuyat' as well. The restaurant can accommodate up to 300 patrons.

The hotel also offers vouchers for complimentary dim sum buffet and a chance to win two Umrah packages for every individual receipt above $70 spent on either sungkai or sahur buffet.

A restaurant supervisor of The Rizqun International Hotel said since the beginning - of the fasting month, the response has been good with an average of over 40 customers for the Sungkai buffet daily.

The restaurant, which is open from 6pm till 10.3Opm for Sungkai, is also expecting to attract more patrons as the days go by based on word of mouth from patrons who have dined at the restaurant, he said.

Meanwhile, RBC offers Ramadhan and sahur buffet dim sum at four of their restaurants. There is a special offer for Standard Chartered credit card members and patrons also stand a chance to win the grand draw, a return ticket to Jeddah for one.
