Ramadan Bazaar @ TTDI

When I was small, the only thing that mattered to me during the Puasa month was that we all get to come home from school early. This is because once the Muslim students and workers have left early, by the time it was our turn, there was no traffic jam. It was the same for me when I started working too. After one month of bliss, its a small wonder that I find myself celebrating too. The only difference now, I guess, is that its all about food. Most of them does not "exist" except for this one special month. And all of a sudden, Hotels are advertising sumptuos buffets and treats too. But all in all, I have never been to a Ramadan Bazaar.

All my life, I would have seen them on the roadside, near my office, near my customer's offices and so on. But never in it. Until today, because of my Wife's wish for "Jagung bakar" (BBQ corn with butter), I decided to look for it since I was passing through TTDI. And at this time of the day, there were already a lot of people queuing up for their food.

Trust me, its almost five in the evening and people
are already lining up to buy things.

And I mean everyone.

There are some delicacies to be had but
I passed on this one since we make our
own at least once a month

Boss, what you want?
I want fish
What type of fish, Boss?
Dunno, just fish
OK how about this one?
OK, looks like fish, I'll take it
OK, Boss. RM12

And during dinner, it was delicious!

And its also a good time to do help others


At the end of the day, I've spent RM20 for some small tid-bits for the family:
Grilled Fish (RM12)
2 big bags of coconut juice (RM6)
1 small packet of lekor (RM2)

Wow. This is expensive, man.
