Hari Raya@the Sengari's

Shan and I arrived a bit too early at the Sengari household. Syereen was in the kitchen preparing vegetables for sayur lodeh whilst Syareena was vacuming. Their mum immediately delegated the role of begerdil maker to moi

Shan joined me a while later and we then squabbled over the size of our balls....

.....while Mrs Ibu fussed above the stove.


Syareena's mum bought some "ketupat". The girls tell me that they look a bit like a certain variety of feminine hygene products. Apparently you just boil the the packs in water and voila....



Their dad made lepat that is made with glutinous rice, peanuts, black eye peas and grated coconut wrapped in a coconut leaf. Good with serunding and sambal goreng satay(below).


Herda and Rehan arrived a bit later and we sat down to the spread that was finally ready...


Quail egg sambal, sambal goreng, sayur lodeh, sambal satay...mmmmmm

Begerdil and paru!

Ayam Masak Merah!

We realised that lepat really sticks to the plate

and Rehan had a bite of our electric blue murukku... it looks more like electricial wiring.


The right way to drink berry flavoured tea. Note the extended pinky.

Shan made this brilliant observaton.....this is a bar of chocolate? Scroll down and find out.



Hansel and Gretal would break their pretty little teeth if they attempted to eat through this...
