'Pasar Ramadan" or where all that food comes from.

The hardest part of the fasting during the day is the last hour or so when you have to figure out what to eat and the pangs waiting that lst few minutes. The food usually comes from the "Pasar Ramadan which sprouts all over the country practically like it is the food bazaar and you can get all you need to break your fast with. Sugar cane drinks  is one of the most popular driks during the month of Ramadan.

There is all kinds of cakes and spicy tit bits for your eyes to ponder upon and your tummy to growl for. It is interesting to note how during the fasting month your appetite is so enhance that you buy and buy whatever you see and end up throwing away ost of what you buy because you cannot finish them.

The "MUrtabak" is another very popular choice, a 'Roti" wrapped up with meat inside. 

Mostly found in Penang , The Po-piah is like your egg roll but not fried and is filled with vegetables mostly.

'Cory' my sone Katim's close buddy hs his stall selling mostly home made cookies.

'Cucor rendang' more or less like fried dumplings.

My favorite 'Buka Puasa' or break fast fruit!

The mangoes were sweet i found out later, the purple colored fruits are called mangstines and one of my most favorite fruits all time.

'Kelapa Laut' is a species of the palm fruit like the distant brother of the coconut. It is quite refreshing i found out later too.

'Roti Sorai' is a softe bread made in the form of a net and is eaten with a specially made curry.

Drinks comes in all colors and is a must during the fasting month.
