Celebrations

28th of July 2014, a day where all muslims celebrates after one month of fasting. Which was also a day where my mother would prepare a table full of traditional Hari Raya dishes such as 'sayur lodeh' (vegetable curry) , ketupat (rice cake) , satay goreng (grilled meat) and many more to bloat my stomach. Apparently I was too busy consuming to take photographs of all the dishes that were prepared for the special occasion. Hari Raya is also a day whereby people ask for forgiveness from the elders which is mandatory!

Personally I think that the buttery, 'melt once you consume' pineapple tarts are one of those festive cookies that is essential during Hari Raya. Unlike those past years, I did managed to help out in baking those cookies. Instead of making our own pineapple filling we bought those pre-made ones for a quicker result, with such busy schedule and loads of spring cleaning to be done for the Hari Raya preparation..why not right? Depending on the individual, some like their pineapple filling soft, some like it chewy or maybe even caramelized.

If you are wondering,  this is what I wore for Hari Raya 

Back in school my group did a brainstorm on how to kill a cockroach. It was interesting to think of appalling ways to destroy them. For example, Wen Xin and Jennifer decided to get a sadistic child to enter a ball pit who was predicted to kill the cockroach haha! Also another idea was to blend it with a drink, any drink of your choice, making it into velvety-cockroachy smoothie, what a great thirst quencher especially on a humid day!

Mini celebration combination of Hari Raya and Birthday food party. Happy Birthday Claris the coconut princess!
