THIS Ramadan, Wild Rice Restaurant at The Boulevard-St Giles Premier Hotel, Kuala Lumpur is offering prime cuisine at a reasonable price.

Several main dishes which capture the taste buds of the former leaders are traditional and all-time favourites, many of which originated from their respective hometowns.
Among Tunku’s favourites are Ayam Kuzi Kismis, Perut Lembu Masak Lemak Cili, Daging Kandar Mamak and Ikan Keli Goreng Berlada.
