Lingzie's Food & Fashion

For Ramadhan 2018, the halal certified all-day dining outlet – nada lama, presents a scrumptious Iftar feast themed “Marhaban Ya Ramadhan” that offers an exciting array of dishes to whet one’s appetite. The theme this year means – welcome the holy month of Ramadhan – a month full of blessings, mercy and forgiveness.

At the official launch of the Ramadhan Open House, the General Manager of Hotel Equatorial Penang, Mr Andreas Knüssi welcomed guests with his opening speech which was followed by the lighting up of a 18 feet giant lamp centerpiece alongside with decorative cut-out motives and LED fairy lights hanging from the hotel’s signature atrium.
