Bazaar Ramadhan @ Lintasan Deasoka Kota Kinabalu

The Islamic month of Ramadhan is known by many as the time of fasting. It is the time when Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and indulging in anything that is in excess or ill-natured for 30 days, from dawn until sunset. For food lovers, on the other hand, it is a month where they get to enjoy delicacies they normally won’t find on other days, as they are available only at Ramadhan Bazaars. For those who are staying around Kota Kinabalu City, you can find such a place at Lintasan Deasoka.
