Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!

I love puasa(fasting) month… last time during school, it’s because.. my school released their students one period earlier… haha… so balik awal (go home early) is something I get to enjoy too…

Another thing is also the pasar/bazaar Ramadan.. with lots of local Malay delicacies sold… from different types of rice like, nasi ayam (chicken rice), nasi tomato (tomato rice), nasi kerabu (don’t know what it’s called in english but it’s famous in the east coast), nasi lemak or course (coconut rice with sambal), fried vermicelli (i love malay fried vermicelli… the orangy colour ones), fried noodles & koey teow, malay kuih-s, murtabak, ayam percik and many many other things more! So I’m lucky to be able to savour these yummy delicacies having to stay here in Malaysia.

This year I only manage to step my foot once! With hectic schedule, i took an effort to drive to the nearby pasar ramadan at USM’s (University Science of Malaysia) new hostel(Tekun as they call it) side…

With only one tummy, I had to make a choice wisely of what to buy… so I went to the stall with most people… hahahaha.. Nasi Kerabu!!!! I love malay rice.. nasi kerabu, nasi ulam, nasi lemak, nasi lemuni, you name it… I’ll surely like it.. because they have the rich flavour with the sambal and spicy touch.. so sedap!

Nasi Kerabu with the essential ulam and keropok….

With several items to pick, i go for the fish and chicken… MYR 4.00

Mix everything up and dig in! Yum!

These are few of the huge selection of savouries…  popiah, roti jala roll, baby burger, curry puff and lepat pisang….3 pieces for MYR1.00

Now that the fasting month has ended, and today is the first day of Aidilfitri, I’m taking this opportunity to wish all my Muslim friends and all Malaysian, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, and happy holidays! May this time of the year spent happily with family, relatives and close friends… and remember my share of ketupat, rendang, lemang and kuih raya!!! :D
