A delayed entry-HARI RAYA in KL

Ok. i know everyone must be wondering why has this blog come to a standstill...here are 5 reasons why-

1.i had to work till the eve of raya
2.three days of raya at home was like hosting somebody's wedding
3.back to work on 4th day of raya -hmmmcud have updated the blog then as i had the office all to myself then, but then again, haha...the more work there is, and no one to delegate it to
4.rushed back to penang on 6th Raya for about 4-5 days (didn't even have much opportunity to have my favourite foods...semuanya makan ketika menziarahi sanak saudara sahaja.oh wait...but we did have good Thai food at Siriwan one of the nights there)
5. upon returning to kl, the office open house was due in three days...press kits, RSVPs, itinerary, task delegation list...sigh. really, if i were obscenely rich, i would ..i would...just walk out.


Last year's raya was a blast coz it was shortly after my two months maternity leave and we spent almost a week in Penang! This year's not too bad as well.

Well, at least I had the privilege of enjoying these few things during the eve of and Hari Raya Aidilfitri:-

2 Days to Hari Raya....could not sleep until 1:00a.m. so went to damansara uptown with alfy and had kerang goreng chilli.

yummy.

Eve of Hari Raya.....dammit the obsession towards kerang kicked in again-no i am not pregnant, it's normal for me to have sudden urge over certain foods. so this time dragged Abg Ebi, Kak Ana, & Effie to Jalan Alor. Savoured some awesomely gewd siput sedut & fried oyster.

1st day Hari Raya.....late as usual, so Alfy dropped us off at the kubur and headed for his Raya prayers at the mosque nearby. Spent almost 1 1/2 hrs there before making it home to have the first nasi impit & kuah kacang of the day. By now Ebi & Shuriana were frantically aksing us why were we taking hours to get to Nirwana from Melawati. Made it to Ebi's parents place filled with all sorts of good food. Lontong was fantastic. Rendang paru sedap gila. Trying hard to save some space for later. At kg.pandan, mama's lamb kuzi was unforgettable. and of course the not-to-be-missed soto was the perfect indulgence. Before balik rumah singgah at Pak Akob's place but he was not around. His daughters served us another round of shall we say 4th round of nasi impit & rendang of the day? Home was so near yet so far. Made another quick stop at Aunty Zain's house. Another bite I will explode to pieces. But hey, that's unlikely to happen right? right?...next thing i knew i was having satay & sup ekor. ok. time to go home now coz apparently Aunty Yam & family had made their way there. Sembang punya sembang, nyanyi punya nyanyi, tau-tau dah nak dekat malam. so that was the first day. filled with lovely food & people.
