Ramadan Bazaar 2016


It's almost the end of the Ramadan month which means that Muslims all over the world have been  fasting from sunrise to sunset. In Malaysia, Ramadan bazaars have been mushrooming all over the towns and cities. Essentially, they're like our pasar malam (night markets), except that mostly food and beverages are sold. Muslims (and non-Muslims) get to pick from a smorgasbord of snacks on their way home from work for breaking their fast just before dusk.

Sharing these photos I've captured when I was at the bazaar to pick up some apam balik.

Otak-otak - a fish cake wrapped in banana leaves and grilled over a charcoal fire

Apam balik - Turnover pancake


Cucur Udang (Prawn fritters)

Kebab

Barbequed chicken wings

Sugar Cane Juice. The contraption you see in the pic is used to extract the juice from the sugar canes

Roti Jala - a lacy and net-like bread/crepe/pancake


Satay - skewered meat grilled over a charcoal fire


A variety of desserts


Drinks. 'Air' pronounced as ai-yer is a Malay word for water


Cookies I made for Father's Day

Keep Calm and Carry On Linking Sunday

  7. We went to an Indonesian place for Fathers Day this year and (among other things) had some of that yummy lacy like bread. Although everything was delicious, that was one of my favorite parts.
