Syawal dah sampai penghujung. I hope it's still not too late to wish you Selamat Hari Raya. Nothing much happened during Ramadan, hence my laziness to update anything. This year's Hari Raya was on a Saturday. Alhamdulillah it was not "terkejut" as last year so I had ample time to say goodbye to Ramadan. As usual mesti banyak regrets. Wished I had done this, done that...
Actually this year I didn't prepare much for Hari Raya sebab tak lah expect orang datang rumah sangat. Untuk rendang, beli daging 1kg dan ayam 1.5 ekor saja. But alhamdulillah, we had quite a bunch coming to our house. 2nd hari raya rendang habis! I was so happy. Kuih raya selalunya Hubbs yang order tapi this year dia tak dapat order pulak. On last day of puasa, anak comel pergi hunt for kuih raya dengan kawan dia kat Aeon Nilai pun tak dapat. Our rezeki (and rezeki our visitors), orang bagi kuih raya. My Abg Ben bagi kuih raya banyak siap dengan tempeyek kacang yang comel-comel tu. My SIL Angah Mas datang pun bawak kuih raya for us. Alhamdulillah...
Our Raya...
I jahit baju raya for the three of us this year. I started late. Tengah bulan puasa baru nak mula. Anak comel punya siap ngam-ngam malam Raya. Tapi budak bertuah tu pakai baju raya dia beli untuk first raya pulak.
Our feast - I made rendang ayam and rendang daging. Rendang daging dapat masak sampai kering unlike last year. I buat sekali mee kari requested by my Abg Ben. Hubbs beli rendang kerang from his friend. Punyalah sedap. Lama betul tak makan rendang kerang.
Pagi Raya only us and Abg Ben.
Lepas Zuhur, my BIL Pijal and family datang. Dah jadi tradition for them to come over on 1st Raya.
Second Hari Raya my nephew Nizam came over. Lama betul tak jumpa! Sekali datang dari pagi sampai ke petang jugak. Punya riuh rumah! Anak comel wore the baju kurung kedah I made for her.
Tengahari my nephew Izzat datang bawak my brother Angah. Lagi lah riuh the cousins lama tak jumpa berborak! Masa ni rendang ada lagi tapi I tambah buat nasi lemak dengan ayam goreng rempah. Alhamdulillah licin!
On 3rd Hari Raya my SIL Angah Mas datang. Rendang daging cuma tinggal sebekas. Since the day before I buat banyak sambal, menu repeat nasi lemak. Pagi-pagi Hubbs kena kerah pergi Lotus beli ayam lagi buat ayam goreng.
Malam 4th Hari Raya we went to Pijal's house. Siangnya berjaya berjalan ke IOI City Mall since tak ada siapa nak datang. Anak comel dah penat makan makanan raya kata dia. Di rumah Pijal ada pulak her favourite dish - udang masak buttermilk.
Almost 2 weeks after Raya my SIL Azah and kids datang rumah beraya. Anak comel dah balik hostel. Hubbs puasa requested for nasi lemak lagi! Jadinya Raya tahun ni kerja I masak nasi lemak saja.
Ada gap tu sebenarnya I tutup rumah sekejap sebab pergi jimba-jimba dengan achik-achik. Apa pun, alhamdulillah rezeki terima tetamu. Jumpa yang dah lama tak jumpa, rapatkan silaturrahim... Insyaallah rumah kecil I sentiasa alu-alukan tetamu datang tak semestinya Raya saja.
Stay safe!
