Kambing Golek Beratur Panjang (Roast Whole Lamb)
Gearbox Soup (beef bone marrow soup)
Right off the bat, one would notice the sheer variety of food being offered at Eastin’s ramadhan buffet. The star of the show would definitely be the impressive Roasted Whole lamb as most diners immediately made a beeline for this dish. I enjoyed the roasted lamb with some nasi briyani with a touch of Kerabu Telur Masin.
The Gearbox Soup was hearty and satisfying, as were most of the mains which include dishes like Ikan Tenggiri Gulai Kampung, sweet sour flower crab, ayam masak merah and more.

Ramadan doesn’t only reminds us of hospitality but also the care for the people around us and one quickly realizes the need of the people that he/she has been forgotten for a long time.
