Many of you know Veronica Lee from the blog
OF MICE AND raMEN. She puts up some of
the coolest posts over at her place, and she is a master cookie maker too. On a whim I asked her if she would like to guest post here. To my delight, she said yes!
Ramadan Bazaar
It's the Ramadan month which means that Muslims all over the world are fasting from sunrise to sunset. In Malaysia, Ramadan bazaars are mushrooming all over the towns and cities. Essentially, they're like our
pasar malam (night markets), except that mostly food and beverages are sold. Muslims (and non-Muslims) get to pick from a smorgasbord of snacks on their way home from work for breaking their fast just before dusk.

| Sharing these photos I've captured when I was at the bazaar to pick up some apam balik. |

| Apam-balik-Turnover Pancake |
 |
| Cucur Udang (Prawn Fritters) |
 |
| Kebab |
 |
| Barbequed Chicken Wings |
 |
Sugar Cane Juice. The contraption you see in the pic is used
to extract the juice from sugar canes. |
 |
| Roti Jala- A lacy and net-like bread/crepe/pancake |
 |
| Satay-Skewered meat grilled over a charcoal fire |
 |
| A variety of desserts |
 |
| Drinks. 'Air' pronounced as ai-yer is a Malay word for water. |

Look at all that yummy food! I'm with Alissa, sitting hungry now lol.
We have a somewhat large Muslim community here in Trinidad, so a similar thing is taking place. The food is delicious...I've tried several different dishes and they are all mouthwatering. I'm definitely with Alissa and Theresa...the pictures make me hungry. LOL
This place looks rich in culture which I love. All that food must be incredibly delicious. I would want to try everything!
The pleasure is all mine, Rosey! So glad we connected. And thank you for having me over!

Yum. And it would smell mouth-wateringly delicious too. Though my heart goes out to the people who put so much effort into making it - and cannot so much as taste test it until after sundown.

My son is in the Navy & after 100+ days they finally got a port visit and they stopped in Bahrain! They said they were celebrating Ramadan so they had to wear long sleeves and it was super hot and that they had lots of shops. Too cool that I got to read an article about it so I could kinda see what he is seeing.. Thanks.
Interesting choices. I bet everything sells around sundown.
