colorful drinks galore
This week will be the last week of fasting before our Muslim brothers & sisters celebrate their Eid El Fitr. It will also mark the end of the Ramadhan bazaar which only comes out like mushrooms once a year. I've always enjoyed the trip to one of these bazaars as there will be stalls upon stalls selling almost anything from the infamous "popiah basah" right down to the humble "kueh muehs".
my favorite kueh- onde ondeThe one that I usually hang out will be the one at Section 14, PJ-next to the Alpha Angle Building. Its one of the most concentrated of the lot for the PJ area and the number of customers seen is a sign that good food is being sold here. Yes, good food as in their Murtabaks, Satay, Roti John, Nasi Kerabu, Ikan Bakar and even the various Laksam. I've always taken a fancy to unusual Malays food and am not afraid to try out new dishes. Hence, this year, I was clearly a bit disappointed as the variety this time was not that many. There were many other stalls selling the same stuff. Example will be the murtabak stall, there are a few of them all placed in one row and I really wonder how they will actually fight this out?
nasi beryani GAM
But, the popiah basah is still the best bet. Lines fill up come rain or shine and frankly speaking, I'm really amazed at the crowd. There is a whole lot of them and they will all line up patiently waiting in line to get their orders. The uncle who runs this stall is always seen to be busy and he is indeed laughing his way all to the bank! I've tried it once and have also given some to my Muslim friends, and they commented nothing special actually. To me, it taste like popiah and not being a fan of it, I didn't think much of it.
sate anyone........?
Anyway, as this is the last week before Eid begans, I feel a tinge of sadness that I have to wait until next year for the next Ramadhan before all this little stalls start to mushroom out again!
my other favorite dish, rendang!
delicious ikan bakar....
