The Convenient Iftar List: 7 pre-order & pick-up options for breaking fast

Here is a list of options for easy pre-order and pick-up before Asar so you can reduce the hassle of rushing to cook or purchase food when you want to break your fast with family or for yourself at home. This article is brought to you by

Hyde & Co.

 Hyde &Co. brings to you pick-up options so that you can break your fast with ease this Ramadan.

Recently, SIFTED published an article reminiscing thewarm memories of breaking your fast with family during past Ramadans, and why, this year she’s looking forward to iftar – the meal taken for Muslims to break their fast – at home once again.On normal days, it’s naturally difficult to always have everyone gathered together for dinner but this is the one month that has always been an exception for many Muslims. This special month is when we regroup, take a pause from the rush of daily life and focus on being closer to God and re-tighten our bonds with our loved ones.

It is only apt that this is also the time when mum, dad or even yourself often prepare home-cooked meals for iftar. But at the same time, it can get quite hectic on weekdays when you’re rushing home from work, you have to pick up the kids and you need to prepare food in the kitchen.To help everyone along this Ramadan, here are alternatives that allow you to pre-order delicious, freshly cooked meals that you can pick up on your way home so you can devote more of your time to catching up with your family instead.

1. Treat your parents to luxurious take-outs from Hyde & Co.

In time for Ramadan, Hyde & Co has launched a new menu featuring a series of gourmet pizzas and designer pastas that’s ever more within reach with Take Hyde Out – Hyde & Co’s newly introduced bright and vibrant delivery takeaway box.The pastas and sauces are packaged in separate compartments so the pasta will be kept al-dente and you don’t have to break your fast with a soggy meal. Cold brews are also available for pre-orders to accompany your meal and quench your thirst.Recommended are Hyde’s signature Chilli Crab Pasta – loaded with generous chunks of blue swimmer crab meat – and our team’s favourites: the invigorating Addams Family – a turkish apple tea or Into the Woods – a berry tea. Both are non-milk options and are perfect for iftar.

3. Soothing the belly with warm ramen from The Ramen Stall

Piping hot soup is always something to look forward to when eating on an empty stomach. If you can’t stomach solid food on an aching tummy, we recommend pre-ordering nutritious, savoury ramen to soothe the tummy and coax a meal for Iftar.The soft silkiness of the noodles and flavour-some broth is sure to whet the appetite after hours on an empty stomach. It’s also easier to consume for the elderly in the family that have sensitive palates.The Ramen Stall will only be operating at 6pm so to make it in time to pick up and get back home, we suggest making your pre-orders the day before for pick-up the following day.Orders can also be made during operating hours from 6pm to 6am on weekdays and 12pm to 6am on weekends so make sure to pre-order in advance or pick it up during Sahur – pre-dawn meal. You’ll even have ample time to head to Masjid Sultan for Fajr prayers.

Here is a list of places to go for after-terawih gatherings with your close friends so that you can catch your prayers and still, squeeze in time for a quick meet up with your old time buddies. This article is brought to you by Hyde & Co. Hyde &Co. brings to you after-terawih hangouts so that you can get the best of Ramadan in both spiritual and physical relationships.

Ramadan has always been well known as a blessed month for the Muslims. Apart from developing a deeper relationship with God, Ramadan is also a time for us to improve our relationships with other people. It is the month where we seek forgiveness for past mistakes, race with one another to ensure that our neighbours and the less fortunate have food to eat and to collectively, practice more good deeds.It’s a time for not just cleansing of the spirit and the body – in terms of being more mindful of the words we speak and controlling our base desires and in terms of health, reducing the consumption of unhealthy food, it is also when we seek reconciliation and forgiveness for intentional or unintentional past hurts amongst one another.Fittingly, this is also why many Muslims also make time to iftar together with friends and other communities to help facilitate bonding and foster new relationships. It is a time where our non-Muslim friends get to share part of the experience with us and have educational discussions about Ramadan and for us to rejuvenate our existing friendships.However as we have terawih prayers, it can be tough to slot in time for gatherings so to enable you to benefit from both, we have gathered a list of places that are open until late so that you can manage it better.

1. Sweeten your gatherings with Hyde & Co’s invigorating brews and treats

For 29 May to 23 June 2017, Hyde & Co is well prepped to receive you with open arms all the way until 11pm from Monday to Saturdays! With Masjid Sultan and Masjid Malabar within walking distance, you have plenty of time to complete your prayers before making your way down to Hyde & Co. to meet up with your friends for desserts.Desserts range from cakes like Apple Crumble, Salted Caramel, Moist Chocolate Cake and more. They are also available on a daily rotational basis so you can call in to 66355785 in advance to find out what they have that day!New on their menu is the Unicorn Dreams, a whimsical creation of Buttermilk Waffles with Banana Brulee, Buttered Popcorn and Summer Berries Ice Cream. For a nostalgic finishing touch, Hyde & Co. has also brought back childhood memories with a drizzle of “Paddlepop” fondue to brighten up this beautiful dessert.If unicorn dreams are not your kind of thing, there is also the trusty Hyde’s Kaya Toast for a signature comforting dessert.

2.  Split the feast with a friend for supper at T Bob’s Corner

For those who usually can’t eat much right during Iftar, you might hear your stomach start grumbling after prayers. If you’d like to eat a bit more to calm it down a bit but would prefer to share, T Bob’s Cranberry Briyani is great for splitting between friends. The Cranberry Briyani platter for two is priced at $42 and comes with kacang pool, two katira drinks, a dessert and kunafa cheese. It is served with a choice of Lamb Shank, Beef Rib, or Chicken.The platter is recommended for those who usually break fast on dates and not much else because you’re uncomfortable eating on an empty stomach, so you can fill up on this satisfying meal after prayers. On the other hand, if you’re hungry but don’t think you can eat that much, there’s always the option to share it between a group of friends so you can chat and take your fill leisurely.On a side note, we hear they will be at Bussorah Street’s Ramadhan Bazaar this year so for those who’d like to have their infamous Beef Ribs, Lamb Shank, and Lamb Shoulder to enjoy with family, you can visit them there.

Whipping up two giant burgers fit to keep you full all through the night and even probably through Sahur, Kaw Kaw’s Ramadan Menu features the Sambal Burg and Sweet and Sour Fish Burger.

We recommend the Sambal burg for after terawih because it has quite a kick and it might be a little rough on the stomach for Sahur and right during Iftar. You can get your burger at Kaw Kaw SG at Aliwal St itself from 4.30pm onwards – last orders at 9.30pm or you can get it from Geylang Bazaar from 4pm to 11pm for takeaway if you plan to hang out at someone’s house or another place.
