the feast of fasting


Beef Curry with Potatoes, on the first day of Ramadhan

Today is the 7th day of fasting and so far, we've been having our iftars at home with the children and the maid. Most times I would cook, nothing too elaborate but of course that is much better than having to buy food at those Ramadhan bazaars. I not only find the place annoyingly smoky but the quality of food has also deteriorated over the years, with the exception of a few familiar stalls.

Salmon Head Assam Pedas on the third day of Ramadhan

Spena & Komar, at one of our iftars.

Some days, we had friends over for potlucks, which is a common thing at our home every year. It's just more fun to have iftar with close friends rather than alone, well at least that's what I think.

Anyway, three more weeks to Hari Raya and I still have yet to fulfill my mission of making my own Raya cookies :(

Sometimes I think I should get myself a good mixer, like a Kenwood or KitchenAid. But then if I get me one of those and don't bake till I break mesti nanti kena kutuk dengan The Diver. Ok then I'll just settle for this brandless mixer of mine anyway.

Having said that, I am SO EXCITED that I will soon receive a premix for the Red Velvet Cake from Little Bowl Cupcakery all the way from Okayama, Japan. I got the privilege to taste them cuppies last year(thank you Sis!). Little Bowl Cupcakery is operated by Zack Abdul, a friend of my sister who is now residing in Okayama. The cakes are not only gorgeous but they taste just superbly heavenly. Am gonna make these babies for Raya, definitely!

Anyway, I will and I shall at least make ONE type of cookie for Raya. I will I will I will!!!

Well people, keep on fasting and feasting!
