To delight diners further are fried or curried quail, crab curry, squid sambal, fried onion prawn and Pelita’s signature fish head curry loaded with lady’s fingers, brinjals and tomatoes.

Special Ramadan treats include chicken and mutton biryani rice complement­ed with dalca as well as nasi dalca with its robust taste of kuah campur and made-to-order fragrant fried chicken.

Regular items on the menu such as roti canai, tandoori, naan bread, fried noodles and rojak will be served as usual during Ramadan.

Thirst quenchers like creamy and foamy teh tarik and other cool beverages make for the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
