Ouh a blessed Ramadhan so far.......

The fruits of our labourIt's the 8th of Ramadhan today and so far our fasting month has been really great. The fact that we are all guys and that we live in UK, doesn't hinder our ability to produce some very savoury Malaysian dish and delicacies. We missed Malaysian food so much (particularly those sold at Pasar Ramadhan) that we worked hard to find the ingredients needed for our daily "buka puasa" meals. Some of the stuff that we've cooked so far:

1. Main dish- Ayam masak black pepper, Ikan bakar chilli asam, Nasi beriani johor, Mee Bandung Muar, Mee hoon and keuy teow goreng, Top-side Steak, Nasi Paprik, Telur bungkus patani and the list goes on....
2. Side dish and desserts - Jemput2 pisang, Po Piah, Manggo Lassi, Puddings and jellies, pengat pisang, bubur jagung, bubur pulut hitam, etc etc.........

But,...........

Food for the soul

Although it is true that during Ramadhan we are all blessed with rezeki, there are still some muslims in other parts of the world that are less fortunate than us. Almost every year, when Ramadhan comes, some groups of muslims suffer from war, natural disaster and starvation. So it is a test for us to take appropriate actions as muslims to help the less fortunate by offering sadakah and doa. Let us not be carried away by the wealth and well being that God has given us, but to use it for the benefit and well being of the whole muslim community and human race.
