Going to a nearby Ramadan bazaar

Wew! Another busy week...I guess everyone guessed it looking at the recent activity on my blog, but I will still dig time out to write things as well as do things to relax myself :) Here, take a rare daily life blog from me.

Malaysians will know what's the time of the year again...yes, the Ramadan month is here! Due to being sick of the horrible food in the school canteens, my friends decided to visit the nearby Ramadan bazaar and see if there are amazing things there. I just tagged along, because why not?

We hopped in the car immediately right after class ends and I guess we arrived a little too early (4pm) ...not all stalls are there yet and the street is pretty much empty!

Yes...we're the only crazy ones to walk under the sun hunting for food at 4pm.

Despite being a Malaysian for that long, I actually never went to a Ramadan bazaar before so it's a first-time experience for me. Part of that is because I grew up in a place with majority of the population as Chinese, and my grandparents aren't really fond of non-Chinese cuisine...so it's a whole lot of TILs for me!

Lots of cakes (which a majority of them I never knew what they were called...), and Penang laksa in bags. Gotta say that it's quite an interesting way to sell them in this packaging, never saw them sold like this :)

Spicy stuff. Curry fish. I can't tell when's the last time I had fish ever since coming back to campus so I can't help myself but just got them here. No disappoints though, they taste amazing. Especially the anchovies with rempah and petai. Too bad I actually finished them before taking any photos, hehe.

Then we have this...

Dear friends, it's called samosa, not "curry puff prototypes". Some genius friend came up with this temporary name when we realized that no one remembers what it is called, and for some reason we all started using calling them as "prototypes"...heck, it's not even close to a curry puff. Featuring a more crispy skin, a bigger size, more meat inside them (and removing the potatoes), my friends loved it. I didn't try it though, but hearing the sound of their teeth crushing the thing, I guess it's good!

It's pretty enjoyable, reminding me of the super days of going to the night market, except that it isn't night this time :) We actually went for a second run just two days ago and I tried the murtabak (stuffed pancake) with cheese and chicken, which managed to blow my mind on how tasty something can be...really, I ran out of words on it but you know, good food is everywhere, it's just a matter of knowing it or not.

That's all for now then! See you around.
