Buka Puasa Fiesta


Finally my crave has been fullfilled. Sat evening Boo and me went to Mak Long area for the Buka Puasa food. Boy was that place packed. Had alot of stalls and people. Take a look at the photo above.

We walked around, hunting for food. There were alot of stalls selling food. But mostly alot of repeated types. Then there were stalls selling clothes such as sarongs, Baju Kurung, Songket etc.
Armed with my camera, I took a few shots here and there. Had a few stares as to why I'm taking pictures...but who cares!


Here's a picture of a stall selling grilled chicken. We ordered 2 chickens...hahhaha....they served the grilled chicken with a sweetish, peanut gravy (see the red container). Check out the guy grilling the Chickens. The chickens are placed in a rotary thing that will spin and roast the chicken. But one thing that wasn't good, everytime the guy fans the charcoal, little bits of ashes get stuck on the chicken. Talk about getting cancer!!!


This stall sells during the night market near my area. This guy sells weird types of cakes. He has the thick types of pancake, Ban Chang Kuih too (the folded looking pancake right at the end). The second last cake is made fully from coconut grains. He places the coconut grains in the mould plate, sprinkles some sugar and cooks it. Haven't tried that though. Then the third type is a mixture of chocolate together with the original flavour. The texture of this cake is smooth and slightly on the stiff hard type. Has a strong taste of something I can't seem to get it. Then comes the first round looking cake. We bought it. It had a slight banana cake and in the middle there was Strawberry Jam or Read Bean.



Next stop was finally my Roti Jala. Bought 10 pieces of it. To some of you who may not now what it's made of....it's basically, flour mixed with santan, salt, water, kunyit and soaked with a pandan leave for smell. Why is it called Roti Jala? Jala stands for Netting. Doesn't it look like some netting? Once it's cooked you have to eat it together with Curry. It's delicious!!

During buka puasa times, the muslims would normally go for a sweet drink first before their meal. Why...I wouldn't know...anyone knows?But anyhow just look at the different coloured drinks sold.
This stall....I have no idea what they were selling.....

But I manage to get everything I was craving for except Lemang. Looks like this year not many are selling Lemang. Spent nearly RM 50 just on buka puasa food! Yummy!
