Ramadan Bazaar (Manglish Post)
Jessie: Helo? Kak Z! Puasa ke tidak?
Kak Z: Ish, tentulah puasa.
Jessie: Ah lah, manalah tau, mungkin datang period.
Teheehee… the above is my usual opening conversation during the fasting month whenever I called to check chat with the gahment (spelling mistake on purpose!) bodies. I even use the opening line for a male! Anyway, it is good karma to make someone laugh especially early in the morning.
As usual, Hari Raya is not complete without a visit to the Ramadan Bazaar.
What is the food you must get? For those tengah puasa, proceed at your own risk ya 😉
- Buah Melaka aka Onde Onde – I love those with generous stuffing of gula melaka (palm sugar) and the almost unforgotten heavenly feeling of lava exploded in your mouth.
- Roti Jala – Can never go wrong with curry chicken. This is something that I must have. Have you tried the one with potatoes wrapped in it? Those are good too. Something like curry puff.
- Kuih Bakar Berlauk – I love this and I have the recipe too. But you know me la, L.A.Z.Y!
- Drinks – Someone have to educate them on food colourings. I think the blue ones is champagne flavour. *yikes*
- Popcorn chicken (spelled as C.H.I.C.K.E.N. B.A.C.K.S.I.D.E!) – I tried to stay away from those if possible. They are too good to be true. Fried chicken backside is sold at RM1 for 10pcs. But my sis got hers at RM1 for 11pcs because…………….. because of me! *ahem* I was busy snapping pic at the stall. The makcik probably thought that I’m a Journalist and gave my sis an extra piece. rofl….
- BBQ chicken giblet – … sehingga menjilat jari *smack lips*
- Roti Boom – Made from roti canai with inner fillings of sugar and lots of margarine which makes them very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Ayam Percik and Nasi Tomato – BBQ skewed chicken with kuah kacang (peanut sauce). HEAVENLY!
- Satay – My son’s favourite.
- Lemang – Rumah siapa ada open house????!!! Nak makan!!!!
So, puasa ke tidak, Sila?
Me? i asyik buka saja. 😳

I have tried Roti Jala with kuah durian; heaven. Only if you like durians of course.
The Queen says: Ah, yes! I’ve tried that too. Not bad. Something like tempoyak (sambal + durian)Â

Had the same thought of blogging about it but in the haste of leaving home, terlupa camera pulak! Really nice pics you’ve got…very the professional leh…
