Pilgrims Happy With TH Cafeteria Services, Malaysian Menu, Affordable Prices
From Nurliyana Farhah Ruslan
MAKKAH, May 29 (Bernama) -- Friendly service, reasonable prices and familiar Malaysian flavours are among the main reasons pilgrims have expressed satisfaction with the cafeteria services provided by Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) at the seven Pilgrims' Accommodation Buildings (BPJH) here.
Pilgrim Muhamad Fakhri Kamarul Zaman, 34, shared his appreciation for the pricing, noting that it is much cheaper compared to eateries or supermarkets.
'The dishes served are just like what we have back in Malaysia. My favourite is the nasi lemak,' he told reporters recently.
He also welcomed the cafeteria's flexible payment system, which allows pilgrims to pay for their meals at any time, helping to reduce congestion during peak hours.
Meanwhile, Normah Mat Noor, 59, said she is happy with TH's thoughtful effort in offering familiar Malaysian dishes.
'I feel it's truly worth being able to stay here to perform the Haj. It feels like being back in Malaysia. This is an excellent initiative that caters to our tastes,' she said.
Meanwhile, TH Makkah Cafeteria operations manager, Muhammad Najib Zulkifi, said TH remains committed to ensuring pilgrims are served clean, high-quality meals at affordable prices.
'The pricing at all cafeterias follows our established guidelines to ensure it does not burden them. For example, heavier meals like nasi lemak are sold for around six to 10 riyals, depending on the choice of side dishes.

TOKYO: Several Asia-Pacific nations have shown keen interest in Malaysia's experience with the National Digital Network Plan (JENDELA) and the rollout of its 5G network, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said bilateral meetings with representatives from several countries in the region, held on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity Ministerial Meeting (APT-MM) 2025 here, also discussed efforts to combat scams and cybercrime.
