'Hectic' would be an understatement.
Juadah pagi raya, ketupat, ayam masak merah, kuah kacang, serunding daging, serunding ikan. Nostalgia betul
I made a list of my raya itinerary:-
First raya (Dhahran):
Abg Zaki & Kak Siti (laksa kelantan, nasi briyani)
Abg Azizi & Kak Ita (spaghetti, mee kari, home made banana chips)
Abg Riz & Kak Aida (nasi dagang, satay and ketupat)
Abg Ma'il & Kak Khamsiah (miscellaneous kuih raya and I got to bring home some ketupat bawang that Abg Ma'il woved with his own bare hands)
Abg Mat Shah & Kak Ana (nasi briyani johore, ubi rebus with sambal tumis ikan bilis, pizza)
Abg Affendy & Kak Zaleha (ketupat pulut just like cikgu munah makes, rendang ayam, mee udang power giler)
The only kuih raya I made - rice krispy treats (chocolate and peanut butter) and easy peasy kuih gunting from leftover samosa leaves
Second Raya (Ras Tanura):
Abg Harun & Kak Su (nasi minyak, lontong)
Abg Razali & kak Sue (er.. makan apa ya? i remember very nice kuih raya..)
Abg Zul & Kak Izah (ketupat, rendang, kuah kacang)
Azmi & Gee (mee rebus)
Samsudin & Jo (entah apa I makan pun dah tak ingat .. oh yes, Laksa Johor!)
Third Raya (home & Dhahran):
6 cars from riyadh came to my house for lunch (white rice, fish head curry, fried chicken and assortment of other lauk brought from riyadh)
Abg Bakar & Kak Faridah (nasi goreng kampung, laksa sudan)
Raja Azlan & Kak Zie (I ate tooo much!)
Abg Khairy & Kak Nas (I was so full, I only ate tit bits and kuih raya)
Fourth Raya (today):
Ashok & Kak Aida (yummeh mee bandung and I brought white rice, fish head curry, sambal tumis udang and omelletes as 'support dishes')
I have a dinner invitation from Haji Nawawi and kak Azizah, but I dont think I'll be able to make it.. :P
my tit-bit station - store bought banana chips and mixed nuts
It is no wonder that my tummy hurts.
Looking at the decreasing trend in invitations, I am expecting to do nothing tomorrow. :)
yum... yum... yum...
ReplyDeleteSelamat Hari Raya. Ramdhan 1429 membawa salam perkenalan. Mudah2an Syawal menjelang beterusan...
Kullu Am Wa Antum Bikhair
Selamat Hari raya. Maaf zahir batin sekiranya ada terkasar bahasa, terkecil hati.

Komen Pak Malim, kucing ray yang alim.
ReplyDeleteAssalamualaikum, kata Pak Malim sambil memegang talian Telekom. Selamat Hari Raya, kata Pak Malim sambil memakai baju kebaya. Terima kasih kerana sudi bertanya khabar saya di blog Lollies tempoh hari, kata Pak Malim sambil naik lori. Ya, tuan saya masih kerja di stesen televisyen, kata Pak Malim sambil menyapu losyen. Muka dia jarang keluar, kata kelawar, sebab selalu tersepit di celah kekacauan dan orang ramai, kata Pak Malim sambil bermain Pok Amai Amai. Elisa, awak dah balik Malaysia? kata Pak Malim sambil memeluk bohsia.
pak malim never fails to tickle my funny bone!

Pak Malim,
Wa-'alaikumsalam, kata Elisa sambil menyelam.
Alhamdulillah, semoga karier tuan pak malim semakin maju, kata elisa sambil gosok baju.
Saya masih di saudi, kata elisa sambil minum todi.
Eh todi itu haram, kata elisa, geram.
Tahun depan mungkin balik tanah melayu, kata elisa sambil termenung sayu.
Boleh lah kita jumpa, elisa beredar menaiki unta.
*lol*
You're very contagious, she says, being outrageous.
