Ramadan is all about togetherness and special moments, especially during iftar! After a full day of fasting, there’s nothing better than enjoying delicious food with family and friends. If you’re unsure what to prepare, here are 10 most popular iftar dishes you should definitely try: 

1. Kolak Pisang (Banana in Sweet Coconut Sauce) 

Kolak Pisang is a true iftar classic! The sweet, warm coconut-based sauce instantly refreshes and re-energizes you. Want to make it even more exciting? Add sweet potatoes, palm fruit, cassava, or jackfruit for extra flavor and texture. But even on its own, it’s already perfect! It’s super easy to make, especially with FiberCreme, which gives you that creamy coconut milk taste without the hassle. 

2. Es Buah (Fruit Ice) 

Nothing beats a refreshing bowl of Es Buah after a long day of fasting! Packed with fresh fruits like watermelon, melon, cantaloupe, strawberries, and avocado, this drink not only tastes amazing but also gives your body the vitamins and minerals it needs. 

Want to make it even better? Try adding a creamy touch! If you’re cutting back on sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk, FiberCreme is the perfect alternative—it’s just as delicious but with high fiber, low sugar, and 0mg cholesterol. 

3. Gorengan (Fried Snacks) 

Crunchy and savory snacks like bakwan (vegetable fritters), risoles, stuffed tofu, pastel, and fried bananas are a staple on the iftar table. Pair them with chili sauce or fresh chilies for an extra kick! But remember, they’re super tempting, so try not to overeat! 

4. Dates 

What’s Ramadan without dates? These energy-packed, nutrient-rich fruits are a must-have for breaking your fast. You can eat them as they are or get creative—blend them into smoothies, make date cakes, or even date pudding. They’re also great in oatmeal for a healthy breakfast! 

5. Fried Chicken 

Who doesn’t love crispy fried chicken? It’s a quick and easy dish that everyone enjoys. Choose from classic, spicy, or sweet flavors, and serve it with warm rice and sambal for a satisfying iftar meal. Add fresh cucumber and lettuce for a refreshing side! 

6. Martabak 

Martabak is the ultimate post-iftar treat! The sweet version, loaded with toppings like cheese, chocolate, peanuts, and bananas, is always a hit. But let’s not forget the savory Martabak Telur (stuffed omelet pancake), which pairs perfectly with pickles and dipping sauce. 

7. Chicken Noodles (Mie Ayam) 

A warm bowl of flavorful chicken noodles? Yes, please! If you’re more into soupy dishes rather than sweet snacks, this one’s for you. Top it with crispy fried wontons, meatballs, or chicken feet for extra yumminess. A bowl of Mie Ayam after fasting? Guaranteed to hit the spot! 

8. Fried Rice 

Fried rice is a go-to meal for iftar because it’s quick, versatile, and super satisfying. You can mix in chicken, sausages, shrimp, or vegetables—whatever you like! Make it spicy or keep it mild, depending on your taste. Plus, it’s budget-friendly and easy to whip up! 

9. Chicken/Lamb Satay 

If you’re looking for something special, satay is the way to go! These flavorful skewers are grilled to perfection and served with peanut sauce or sweet soy sauce, plus rice cakes or plain rice. Whether it’s chicken or lamb, satay is a protein-packed iftar favorite. 

10. Bubur Sumsum (Rice Flour Porridge with Palm Sugar Syrup) 

Soft, creamy, and comforting—Bubur Sumsum is the perfect iftar dish! The silky porridge, combined with rich, sweet palm sugar syrup and coconut milk, makes every bite a delight. It’s a great option if you want something light yet filling after a whole day of fasting.
