2. Murtabak and other Roti

Cr: @jolleenc

What is Ramadan Bazaar 2019 without murtabak? They’re often one of the stalls with the longest queue. People would just buy 10 or 20 pieces at once to be shared among the family members, that’s how good murtabak is. They’re filled with either chicken or beef minced meat and onions, some even come with special menu like cheese. Not a fan of murtabak? Roti John and roti canai are popular must-eat at a bazaar as well.

4. Nasi Kerabu & Nasi Kukus

Cr: @hazel_lisa

We Asians cannot ditch the carbs, especially during the month of puasa. We just love the welcoming vibe of bazaars, everyone is so nice. The blue color of nasi kerabu comes from the natural hue of butterfly-pea flowers, and they’re often paired with tons of vegetables and side of protein (chicken or fish). Nasi kukus on the other hand, is less of vegetables and more meat. Fluffy steamed rice paired with curry and marinated chicken, it’s best to eat while it’s still hot, hence the name kukus (steamed).

Another crowd’s favorite at Ramadan Bazaar 2019, ayam penyet. Chicken thigh or meats are smashed with the back of the knife or pestle to soften them, hence the name penyet (smashed). It is then marinated and fried till golden brown, paired with steamed rice and a side of sambal. Some say it’s an Indonesian delicacy (here we go again), but you know what? Ayam penyet is just a warm, fuzzy food embraced by every culture.

6. Sup Tulang/ Daging

Cr: @panzywrites

There are those days where you just want to wrap yourself in a blanket, cuddle in sofa with warm food. Sup tulang checks every box of comfort food. They’re nutritious, filling, and warms your body up. They’re infused with so much flavor from the spices, bone marrows and beef or mutton meats. It’s basically a stew, but better and best served with a slice of bread.

7. Lemang

Cr: @why.rest

One of the traditional food for Raya, how can we miss out lemang at Ramadan Bazaar 2019? It’s made of glutinous rice, coconut milk and salt. They’re then cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaves. Though it looks pale and typical, the aroma of coconut and sticky texture of the rice is impeccable. Have it on its own or dip them in gravy or even curry, so delicious.

What’s better than marinated, roasted meats, especially on skewers. People at Ramadan Bazaar 2019 knows how to make the best kebab at an affordable price. They’re so generous with spices their meats turned out tender and extremely flavorful. Our next favourite would be kambing golek aka roasted lamb. Some bazaars roast the whole lamb on the spot, so it’s quite a scene.
