Rendezvous

On the second day of raya, my mom decided to cook 'laksa kedah'. So, being the only child at home, mom asked me to go out and buy the ingredients. Loyally, hubby drove me to the shops.

Well since it was still hari raya, most shops were closed. We had to go to several shops to buy the needed ingredients We managed to get all except the 'daun kesom' and the 'mee laksa'. We went to almost every opened shop. To no avail there were no 'mee laksa' and 'daun kesom. Finally, abah suggested a supermarket in Bukit Indah. With almost no hope at all, we drove to the supermarket. And...yippee!!!!! the things searched for, were there and I took them quickly and paid for them before thy're taken.

Before Raya

The day before raya, early in the morning, mother woke all of us up early and ordered my sister and I to help her 'balut ketupat daun palas'.

The day before raya, we were all ordered by mon to help her 'buka daun ketupat' and balut ketupat daun palas'

Curry Puffs

Here are the pictorial steps in making curry puff aka karipap.

First, prepare the dough of flour, margarine, water and a pinch of salt.

Next, roll the dough and cut into small pieces

Then, flatten the small pieces of the cut dough by rolling them
using a roller or a steel flask...: P

This is how it looks like

Next, prepare, the filling; minced chicken with potato cooked in curry powder

After that, fill the centre part of the flattened dough with the curry filling

Close the dough by folding the sides.

These are the end product before the next important step.

Fry the curry puffs in oil

....until it they turn golden brown.

Wallah....here are the delicious curry puffs you've ever tasted....`. D

Iftar

Last night or should I say yesterday evening, we had iftar at the school. Those invited were the forms five and three students together with their parents. But then, the attendance was an upsetting one. Not many turned up. Still, the function went on smoothly.
For the break fasting, we were served with ayam beriani, nasik minyak hujan panas, acar buah, dalca and various types of 'kuih'. They were all cooked by a group of teachers and staffs heade by the principal herself. (pictures of the food weren't captured due to my stomach was already screaming for food at the time of iftar)
After iftar, we performed prayers at the school hall. We were also given 'tazkirah' by our own PK HEM who led the prayers for the night.

Raya Shopping

During the 3-day holiday recently, we brought the kids (minus the baby, of course!) shopping for their 'baju raya'. They were very excited even though they had to wear masks. Dilligently, they got up early, bathed and dressed. The two younger ones were ordered to take their late 'sahur'. Excitedly they did as they're told without hesitation.
Well, on the first day, we only managed to buy clothes for the younger ones and shoes for everyone. On the second day, after hours of walking around Plaza Alam Sentral, finally we managed to get 2 pairs of baju kurung for Alya and a pair of gown each for Aina and Auni. Then, we headed home. It was terribly exhausting...and yet satisfying.
