The hotel team welcomed the 51 children and treated them to the delectable Gurindam Asia Buffet with over 300 items, featuring an authentic Thai Food section. The guests enjoyed the signature features, including the Harissa Marinated Whole Lamb, Kambing Gearbox, and Sweet Banana Fritters with Mozzarella Cheese and Serawa Durian.

Before breaking-fast, a hotel staff member's son, 8 year-old, Muhammad Irfan Hadif, recited the Maghrib call to prayer melodiously. The children then thoroughly enjoyed the spread and were delighted with the experience.They were also presented with 'duit raya' and festive gifts, which added to their excitement.  Since the 5-star hotel's opening in 2017, it has hosted the children every Ramadan and supported this home with donations.

Speaking about the occasion, Puan Rusida Othman, Director of Finance at the hotel said, "We are really blessed during the holy month that our staff members have the opportunity to spend time with the children.
