Sungkey, or break-of-fast, is synonymous with the month of Ramadan. I believe Kuchingites are eager to eat (and break their fast) at their preferred restaurants and indulge in their favourite foods.
Muslims around the world have just a few days left to enjoy the month of Ramadan.
What’s interesting is that many renowned restaurants and food outlets, particularly in Kuching, will offer a variety of break-of-fast packages to their patrons during the fasting month, which will undoubtedly make us all drool!
