Festive Food



Hi everyone! It has been 3 weeks since my last post! Sorry cause I am a bit late in updating my blog after the Hari Raya holidays. I decided to take a break from blogging for a while so that I would have more time for my son who had just finished his UPSR exam. It was my first time preparing my child for a major exam. I think I was more nervous than him!
For Muslim friends...I hope you all are enjoying your Hari Raya celebration wherever you are. Today is the 19th day of Syawal and Hari Raya is still very much celebrated everywhere. Some people are also celebrating Hari Raya Puasa 6!! I jugak lah yg tak habis puasa 6 lagi tapi dah tumpang beraya. Two days ago, we had Raya Puasa 6 celebration here in our small staffroom.

Well, this year we spent the first two days of Hari Raya at my parent's home in Shah Alam. On the third day of Hari Raya, my children begged me to bring them to the National Zoo. So, kami beraya kat Zoo Negara juga!! Next, on the fourth day of Hari Raya, we were at my husband's parents' home in Kota Bharu. Alhamdulillah, we got to meet all our family members from both sides (my side and hubby's side).

During Hari Raya, food has always been the most important thing. For me lah!.. Mesti nak makan sedap2! I am always so greedy for food during Hari Raya. So, I would make sure that I got to eat all my favourite food on the special day. Here are some photos of the festive food we had during Hari Raya



RAYA MENU IN SELANGOR

Usually on the first day of Hari Raya we would have Briyani Rice . The dishes are Acar, Kari Kambing and Ayam Masak Merah .


The making of Ketupat and Lontong for Hari Raya is something of the past. My mom doesn't make them anymore nowadays. I really wanted to have Ketupat and Lontong so I bought them..Seketul ketupat seringgit regenye..seketul lontong RM4


Ketupat which is made from rice that has been wrapped in a woven palm leaf pouch and boiled


Lontong -compressed rice which is wrapped in banana leaves and cut into small pieces


We had Ketupat and Lontong with Lodeh and Rendang.


My uncle gave us some lemang. I suka sgt lemang! Lemang is made of glutinous rice and coconut milk and cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick

Mini cup dodol from Malacca . Sedap sgt dodol Melaka ni! It is made with coconut milk, sugar, and rice flour and is sticky, thick and sweet.


Sarawak Layered cakes

Since both my sister and I sell Kek Lapis Sarawak every Hari Raya, we always have them on the table..macam org Sarawaklah pulak!


I like everything traditional..but Mr. Hubby loves cakes. So cake is a must have for him..His favourite cake is Swiss Roll

My favourite cookies this year is Semperit Telur Rebus. My friend in Kelantan made this Samperit Telur Rebus. One of the main ingredients in making the cookies is the hard boiled eggs.


The name of the cookies is Dahan Rapuh. Made in Terengganu nih. It's popular among my colleagues. It tastes like Batang Buruk . The name Dahan Rapuh sounds better than Batang Buruk, right???? I have never heard bout it before..


Next, photos of our Hari Raya Menu in KELANTAN


Nasi Dagang Kelantan.


Gulai Itik Serati..Duck curry

Fermented rice wrapped in banana leaves. I suka sangat...



Ketupat Palas- made from gutinous rice which is wrapped in the leaves of the fan palm. I suka yang ada kacang. Sedap sangat!

Eventhough I was born and raised in the West Coast, I get used to food from the East Coast and especially love the traditional food from both Kelantan and Terengganu.

  16. I am Amsterdam- Jarang dah org buat lontong tu. Cara membuatnya- rebus beras dalam daun pisang yg diikat dihujung belah atas and bwh. Kena pandai sukat beras barulah lontong jadi cantik. The last time my mom buat tu when I was 12 kot. Dah puluh tahun dia tak buat.
