Hari Raya is just a few days away which mean the balik kampung exodus will begin probably as early as today. This year Hari Raya clashes with Merdeka Day and Malaysians; Muslim and non-Muslim alike are welcoming the week long holidays with anticipation.
What are your plans? I’ll probably chill at home and sneak in some shopping spree but the boyfriend will be working the entire public holidays. Never mind, that means extra moolahs for shopping haha. I’m joking. He bestowed upon me the responsibility of planning a road trip for after Raya. I’ll have to remember to do that.
You know i’m really missing homemade kuih raya and cookies and rendangs and ketupats and all the other gastronomic food associated with Hari Raya. That’s the disadvantage of not having a regular 9 to 5 job. Gone are the days when you get to sample all the mouthwatering food brought to office by the Malay colleagues. Darn i miss the homemade pineapple tart they use to sell at HLB during raya.
Any kind soul willing to satisfy my rendang and lemang craving?
To everyone out there “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Happy Merdeka Day and Happy Holidays!”.
Oh, do drive safely and look out for speed traps!
