Malay Food

It is Ramadhan, and Muslims all over the world are fasting for a month. I am not a Muslim and honestly, I don't know much about the occasion.

During this month, my neighbourhood will have a super big bazzar (pasar malam) with lots of interesting things to see and buy, and of course delicious food. I often visit the bazaar for food. There are Ramly burgers, bbq chicken wings, chips, kuehs.... and lots of authentic malay food! I love them all, except beef and mutton of course. The food are not cheap though but I think it's understandable since the rental of the stalls are expensive. Just yesterday, hubby and I bought 3 Roti Boyan for $9. I don't know what you called Roti Boyan in english but it's a very nice crispy tart with mashed potatoes inside to be dipped in a special chilli sauce. Mmmmm.. simply delicious! Then we also bought Putu Piring. A sort of rice cake with fragrant coconut sugar inside. My helpers and us have a feast, and we had ice-kachang and ice-jelly cocktail too. I try to pamper Pony alittle since I reckon that it's hard for her to be away from home during this joyous occasion.

Today, I bought lots of kuehs home. I guess I am going to put on weight during this festive season! Now, I am hoping that Aishah will invite me (and hubby, and Jin and Justin, and Joel, and Boo and Miracle) over for another feast during Hari Raya. LOL!
