Iftaar at Square House UNSW Australia
This was how we did our iftaar. We sat facing one another--tamr and bottles of mineral water were well-served before us.
__We made dua when a call to prayer (adzan) was calling, drinking and eating up the tamr, we then did jamaah before finally having a heavy meal for the day.
__
The meal was served in turn by a different country every day. Arab Saudi was the very loyal one. The Arabs took charge more than eight times serving the meal for us, while other countries like India, Bangladesh, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Iran, etc were only able to do it for once, Masha Allah.

Indeed, the Arabs are very knowledgeable about the virtuous of giving iftaar to other Muslims. I personally give my respect to the Arabs. Baarakallahu fiikum.
Allahumma ath'im man ath'amanii wa asqi man asqoonii
Ya Allah berilah ganti makanan kepada orang yang memberi makanan kepadaku dan berilah minuman kepada orang yang memberi minuman kepadaku.
