A taste of Hari Raya
Every year during the ramadan Muslims in Singapore fast during the day and when the sunsets, everyone goes to bazaars to break fast. These markets cover 2 blocks and are filled with all sorts of things to buy - from household items to clothes and even cars :-\ the good thing is, they're just down the street from where we live.We had dinner there and walked around a little bit - I had an ayam ramly burger. "Ayam" means chicken. Daniel said it's classic Malay fastfood. It's a pattie wrapped in an egg - spicy and yummy.
"Welcome Hari Raya" this celebration is like Christmas. At the end of the month of fasting is the Muslim New Year - October 13. There will be a big party that night!! One of the shopkeepers said I had to come back for it :D

Hey Amy,
I was just browsing from blog to blog. and found yous through Emad. Just to clarify, celebration at the end of the fasting month is just that, not the Muslim New Year. we don't celebrate new year. Common misconception ;)
Zafirah
