Ramadan bazaars are a beloved tradition in Malaysia. The sights, the smells, and the lively crowds before Iftar are part of the experience. But this year, Putrajaya’s iconic bazaar is getting a digital upgrade.
The Online Ramadan Bazaar is now live through the foodpanda app, allowing Malaysians to enjoy their favourite dishes without navigating heavy traffic or long queues.
Running from 19 February to 20 March 2026, the initiative brings the vibrant Presint 3 Ramadan Bazaar directly to customers’ phones.
A Digital Step Forward For A Timeless Tradition
In collaboration with Perbadanan Putrajaya, foodpanda Malaysia has launched a pilot programme that places more than 200 bazaar stalls online.
Through a dedicated Ramadan Bazaar section on the app, users can browse classic Iftar favourites such as nasi lemak, nasi dagang, fried chicken, and colourful kuih.
The move is part of a trend that is growing in Malaysia’s digital economy. E-commerce platforms are making it easier for vendors to reach customers beyond foot traffic in seasonal markets and during the holidays.
The Online Ramadan Bazaar is a good mix of tradition and convenience for families.
From Stall to Door
To keep the bazaar feeling real, foodpanda introduced on site pickers. Once an order comes in, they go straight to the stall and buy the meal on the spot.
This means the food is prepared fresh. Most orders arrive within 40 to 50 minutes.
The system benefits everyone involved.
Customers receive fresh meals without standing in long lines. Stall owners can get to connect with more buyers and increase their daily sales. Delivery riders also can get to see higher order volumes during the Ramadan period.
By combining digital tools with traditional bazaar culture, the initiative creates more earning opportunities for small businesses during the festive season.
Expanding Access Across Malaysia
The Online Ramadan Bazaar does more than make it easier to plan Iftar. It makes things easier to get to.
People who are busy, parents, or older customers who can’t go to crowded bazaars can now take part in the experience.
As more people in Malaysia use the internet and more people order food online, digital holiday events like this one may become more common in the future.
For Putrajaya, the move shows that local customs can change while still keeping their cultural spirit.
