Yup, most of you will probably ask what the hell am I thinking, putting orders on kuih raya in the first week and receiving it even before the second week of Ramadhan.

My intention is clear. The kuih raya samples cannot be tested during the fasting month. Even if you can, the suppliers won’t let you taste it. You can have a good look at it, but not eat it to taste, which is why I bought a few types earlier than supposed to, to have a good tasting feast with my wife at home. Then we will decide whether those cookies worth the value. If it’s good, we’ll place the real order. If it’s not, we’ll just finish up what we had bought. All the ordered cookies are chocolate-based, so I believe, no matter how terrible the cookies are, it won’t be too bad to be able to finish it up in few days =). A funny way of advertising, indeed. But, what the hell. Helping my office mate selling the cookies for his duit raya is another intention of mine.

Happy ordering!

p/s: My sister will be helping to make cookies at my house prior to Aidilfitri, so I guess this year I’ll be venturing in cookies business. LOL!

The crave for pizza has been rapidly increasing within all three of us, especially during Ramadhan.

We decided to get a fresh buka puasa after a week of only-inside-the-house Ramadhan. Pizzas  sound nice compared to a bowl of whatever at Secret Recipe or a Mushroom Swiss at Burger King (unlike in KLCC, here you have to pay to top up your drinks, or else, it would’ve been our first choice). Starbucks and Big Apple are out of the list, completely. Who would want to break their fast with flavoured doughnuts or with a cup of RM15 bitter macchiato plus the ridiculously priced cookies?

At 1644hrs, I went to make reservation and straight away ordered the meal (we had, in previous Ramadhans, experienced unnecessary effects of sudden decision to have our breakfast away from home), including regular-sized Pepperoni, large plate of Platter, sweet and spicy chicken wings and of course, the compulsory value meal extras like Pepsi, breadsticks and mushroom soups.

It was slightly raining as we reached Mesra Mall around 1900hrs and managed to have a good browse of baju raya (2 females with me, surely), before we head to Pizza Hut few moments later. Imran had his meal 10 minutes before Maghrib, but of course, nobody cares. He’s 2 months old today, so he will not be going around the town in the white van as a result of fast-skipping in this holy Ramadhan.

Next weekend, we’ll probably be in KL for a quick raya shopping at IKEA, and have our sahur and buka puasa around there.
