Selamat Hari Raya!

Today, Muslims around the world celebrate Eid ul-Fitr which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan. In South East Asia, this holiday is celebrated for a month with family and friends over lots of delicious cookies and food.

Festival likes this makes me miss South East Asia. Oh, how I crave for rendang, sate, kue lapis, pineapple tarts and many more mouth-watering yummies. Yeah, I'm greedy!


Of course, I could cook up a feast here in Germany, but that would miss the whole point of getting together with friends of different cultures and joining them in their celebrations.

Living harmoniously in a multi-cultural society is both enriching and delicious!


Wishing all Muslims around the world a wonderful Eid ul-Fitr!


PS: Selamat Hari Raya to my dearest friend X and her family! X, loosen your belt and feast!
