Exactly a year ago, I was on confinement period. Yes, Aleya was borned on the 1st of Ramadhan and I could not fast for the whole month of Ramadhan last year. (Yes, I almost managed to replace all the fasting days)Every afternoon, about 5.30pm, I would do my normal routine of 'bertungku' for an hour. Hubby and my sister would go to pasar ramadhan and bought a lot of 'juadah berbuka'. I would watch in agony and jealousy as the only thing I could eat was plain white rice, black pepper and fried fish, with 'air akar kayu'. I also could have snack of 'biskut mayat' with 'kopi pekat' or milk. Thats all I could eat for the whole month. Even milo was definite no-no as my mom said that the drink was 'sejuk' (cold) for me.They would buy colorful drinks, nice looking kuihs, murtabaks or sometimes, 'lauk-pauk' yang nampak menarik. I promised to myself that for this Ramadhan, I want to go pasar ramadhan to buy all the food that I couldn't get last year.The nearest pasar ramadhan that I could go to is at Jalan Kuching or Taman Ehsan. The dishes that I like to buy is rendang limpa (JK) or kuih lapis. Thats the only dishes I like as the others was not that appealing. However, murtabak has to be bought everyday as both of my brothers love it. I noticed that most pasar Ramadhan sells lauk-pauk more than kuih-muih. There is a shortage of kuih-muih.I was so lucky this year as mom cook for us. Although it will be just two simple dishes, I really love what my mom cooks. I am so lucky compared to people who come back from work, exhausted and still have to cook or people who has to buy their food at the bazar ramadhan. Thanks, mom!!Pic Courtesy of: masak-masak
