Ramadan 2026 : Air Tangan Bonda at Mercure Living Putrajaya : A Heartwarming Ramadan Buffet That Tastes Like Home (With Shabu-Shabu Too!)

If there’s one thing Malaysians can agree on, it’s this: Ramadan food hits different. The aroma of gulai simmering, grilled fish sizzling, and desserts lined up like a sweet dream—this is the season where iftar becomes a whole experience.


And this year, Mercure Living Putrajaya is turning the nostalgia dial all the way up with a Ramadan buffet theme that feels like a warm hug from mum.

In celebration of the upcoming holy month, Mercure Living Putrajaya invites everyone to enjoy a rustic-meets-modern culinary journey led by Executive Chef Zaidi Mohammad, featuring a special Ramadan theme:

“Air Tangan Bonda”

A heartfelt tribute to a mother’s village-style home-cooked dishes—the kind we all miss and remember fondly.


A Buffet Preview Filled With Warm Vibes & Ramadan Spirit


The buffet preview event held today was truly wholesome—warm, harmonious, and buzzing with excitement. The dining hall was made even livelier with the presence of media representatives, social media influencers, foodies, and Mercure Living Putrajaya’s valued business partners who have continuously supported the brand.

It wasn’t just about eating (though yes, the food was a major highlight)—it was also a celebration of Mercure Living Putrajaya’s dedication to delivering an exceptional iftar experience.


To set the mood, guests were treated to live vocal and instrumental performances by Cili Padi Muzik, making the whole breaking fast buffet feel festive, elegant, and extra special.


A Captivating Symphony of Flavours (AKA: Come Hungry!)

Now let’s talk about the star of the show: the food.

Guests had the chance to savour the creations of Chef Zaidi Mohammad and the Mercure Living Putrajaya culinary team—many of whom have internationally recognised culinary award backgrounds.

The menu was curated with a smart balance: classic Ramadan must-haves + signature dishes that feel exciting and elevated.

Here are some of the crowd favourites you’ll want to zoom straight towards:

⭐ Must-Try Highlights at Air Tangan Bonda Buffet


  • Kambing Golek Madu Mama
    Slow-roasted lamb marinated with honey—tender, juicy, and packed with flavour.
  • Gulai 10 Kawah Bonda
    Rich, hearty curry made using a closely guarded family recipe (yes, that kind of secret recipe).
  • Roasted Beef Ribs
    Slow-cooked beef ribs served with aromatic spiced Kuah Unkep—deep flavours, pure comfort.
  • Nasi Kandar Anak Mami
    Fragrant rice with rich gravies that instantly transport you to Penang.
  • Grilled Fish Station
    Fresh fish grilled to perfection, best enjoyed with tangy, spicy air asam dipping sauce.

Shabu-Shabu at a Ramadan Buffet? Yes, Please!

Here’s what makes Mercure Living Putrajaya’s buffet extra unique: it breaks tradition in the best way.

Instead of sticking only to heavy dishes, this buffet includes a dedicated Shabu-Shabu station—a lighter, refreshing option where guests can choose fresh ingredients and blanch them in hot broth.

It’s interactive, comforting, and honestly… kind of addictive. Perfect for those who want to balance rich gulai with something clean and warm.


Dessert Heaven: Welcome to Taman Manisan Bonda


If you’re the type who saves space for dessert (as you should), you’re going to love this.

The dessert section—aptly named “Taman Manisan Bonda”—features 101 varieties of sweet treats.

And the one dessert that stole the spotlight?

🍧 Cendol Durian Santan Sawit

Creamy, indulgent, and absolutely unforgettable.

Plus, there are more than 28 food stalls located both indoors and outdoors throughout the restaurant, giving it that fun Ramadan bazaar vibe—only cleaner, air-conditioned, and way more comfortable.


Chef Zaidi Mohammad Shares the Heart Behind the Theme


Chef Zaidi’s message beautifully captures the spirit of the buffet:

“Ramadan is a time to strengthen bonds and togetherness. We are truly honoured by the overwhelming support from our media friends and business partners today. Through Air Tangan Bonda, we aim to revive the comforting aromas of a mother’s kitchen in the village, enhanced with the unique addition of Shabu-Shabu and prepared to halal standards, to deliver a truly distinctive experience for all our guests.”


Honestly, that’s exactly what this buffet feels like—kampung comfort food with a modern Mercure twist.
