Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Today is the 1st of Shawal, the 10th month of the Muslim calendar. The Muslims have fasted for a month prior to this and today they are celebrating the new year which is known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

As I am writing this blog, I can smell the rendang coming from my neighbour who lives in the same floor with me in a condominium. Soon I will be invited to savour this food item which is peculiar on this festive. It will go with lemang, a glutinous rice dumpling cooked in bamboo stems.

I take this opportunity to wish all Muslim readers of this blog a very happy 'Hari Raya Aidilfitri'.
