and the fasting month begins...

I'm still very much a traditionalist when it comes to Ramadhan.

I love having iftar at home, with the family.

I hate queuing up at long hotel buffets, and if I must have iftar outside, I'd rather it be in a small, intimate restaurant. Mamak pun mamak la, kalau mamak tu intimate I'm okay...If not, I'd rather be home, even if it means having something as simple as an egg sandwich and air sirap :)

Anyway, I thank God for again letting us spend Ramadhan together this year. Today is the first day of Ramadhan, and I made beef curry and sambal telur. Since The Diver wants to go on a no-rice diet this fasting month I had to think of dishes that can match with bread or paratha or naan or whatever.

Oh, my aim this year is to make at least 2 types of Raya cookies. Let's just see if I'm all talk and no action! Hahah!

Ramadhan Kareem everyone!

Za, they sure are. Well I don't know if Ali is, but Medina loves to wake up for sahur. It's like a license to eat at weird hours! And anything that involves eating she likes!

SD, cheh.... u ingat u sorang je ke boleh blog? :P Love you too.

I think she likes the idea of eating la more than the sahur itself tapi good la that she fasted
