Buka Puasa Venues

As non muslim, me and my colleagues are equally excited to try the Buka Puasa buffet and set menus offered by the local restaurants and hotelier.  

This morning, one of my colleague brought in a leaflet from a restaurant at Suria Sabah Shopping Mall which she took yesterday.  She was excited with the varieties of dishes and desserts she saw on display at the restaurant.  The price per adult is RM29.90++, while for the kids age 5-12 years old is RM20.90++. 

There is another place serving Buka Puasa set menu. It is a short drive away from the city with a nice view and cool breeze.  

 If you are around Kota Kinabalu, check out these 2 places for your choice of Buka Puasa venues.

More Spicy food during Ramadhan month

We do not cook spicy food at home because our girls do not like any hot and spicy stuff.  During the month of Ramadhan, Clet and myself are having more spicy food than any other months in the year.  Recently we have been visiting the Bazaar Ramadhan stalls, and take away food for meals at home.   Since our girls do not take spicy food, I will have to cook something else for them. Just like this Amaranth / Red Spinach Soup which they like it very much.

While we are having hot & spicy food like Nasi Kerabu [which is something new to me], Nasi Kuning, soto and Nenas Paceri as side dish.  

Nasi Kuning with Beef Rendang, the beef is a bit tough

Nasi Kuning with fried fish

side dish Nenas Paceri, Clet's favourite

After having spicy food for a few days, I can feel a little ulcer in my mouth, probably because I am not used to having spicy food and I got "heated up" with the spices :D will have to find some cooling tea..

Nasi Kerabu

After so many years of visiting the food stalls during Puasa months, this is the first time I came across Nasi Kerabu.

We went to Indah Permai stalls with SIL yesterday afternoon, as it was only about 3pm, most of the stalls are still not in business yet but we still managed to buy more than a handful of food, among them are soto, porridge, nasi ayam, jellies which are very common food found in any buka puasa stalls.  But it is the first time I see the Nasi Kerabu, the rice is blue in colour.  Kerabu is a type of flower, it is the main recipe  in making the rice blue.

 Fried fish 

Shredded coconut with salted egg 

 Stuffed chili

 A complete serving of Nasi Kerabu 

This is Nasi Kerabu that my SIL bought.  The colour of the rice in blue looks strange to my girls that they wouldn't want to try it.  I polished up the whole serving by myself at dinner. 

together with Bitter gourd, one of my favourite dish my the stall. 

Buka Puasa stalls

We were in darkness when the power cut at around 4pm on Tuesday. Couldn't stand the stuffiness and darkness in the office anymore, we thought of a place to go, that's the nearby buka puasa stalls. The sun was so bright and very smokey. After a walk around the stalls, bought what we wanted, we couldn't stand that heat any longer.

the stalls, very smokey, I find myself smell of babeque chicken wings when I got back to the office. gosh...

A big tong of Nasi Briyani. RM2.90 nasi briyani is considered quite cheap. But I did not buy...not into it that day.
