The holy Islamic month of Ramadan 1428 is here beginning 13 September 2007. Many Ramadan bazaars woo the crowd with their buka puasa (breaking fast) spread. While some families cook their meals for breaking fast, it has become the norm for people to buy meals offered at various Ramadan food outlets. With the endless variety of main and desserts, it is not surprising that many non-Muslims also make a beeline for the Ramadan delicacies for their dinner.
Other than the vast array of delicious dishes, some of which are only offered during the fasting month, the atmosphere unique to Ramadan are also a pulling factor. I opt for traditional, healthy, home-cooked dishes such as ayam percik (spicy chicken), murtabak (thin dough filled with minced meat), laksa penang (noodles), ikan bakar (grilled fish), rojak mamak (Indian salad) and kepala ikan asam pedas (hot spicy fish head). The bazaar i went the first day of Ramadan in Kluang, Johor offered more than 1,000 dishes. The sky and the depth of your pocket are your limits to savour the gastronomic feast. We are spoilt for choice and free to change the menu daily. Besides local delicacies, international dishes such as kebab, sushi nagiri, mini pizza, burgers and hotdogs are also sold. I will definetly savour the Ramadan Bazaar food today and try a new menu.
