@auninggg Ramadhan tahun ni start dgn bazaar paling fav, 📍Bazaar Ramadhan Wangsa Maju
The Wangsa Maju Ramadan bazaar can be reached by foot from the Wangsa Maju LRT station (it’s near AEON Wangsa Maju). This bazaar will delight you with its endless rows of stalls.

Bangsar
@manamanakl Suasana di bazaar Ramadhan Bangsar KL
This famed and favoured bazaar is only 15 minutes away from the Bangsar LRT station. Most of us, being working adults, have no time to visit a bazaar because by the time we finish work, the bazaars are almost closed. So if you’re working around Bangsar or the downtown KL area, this is the bazaar for you.
Though it isn’t big like the rest, it has all the classics you can tapao without having to walk very far. A must-try are the putu piring, grilled seafood, and ayam percik. But don’t forget to grab some kuih too!
Kampung Baru

The Kampung Baru Ramadan Market is not only well known, it’s set against the Petronas Twin Towers. It would be impossible to name every vendor at the market, but some do stand out. One of these is the vendor selling bubur lambuk, which is essentially rice porridge cooked with spices and herbs and typically available at any mosque during the holy month. In addition to porridge, the bazaar also offers a wealth of Ramadan favourites. In terms of getting there, you can ride the LRT to Kampung Baru station.
