Iftar 20: Ramadhan Buffet at Pyramid Tower Hotel

This is my second visit, the first one was last year, facilities are fine here, just next to shopping complex, therefore we don't have to rush. The setting and arrangement of the tables and buffet counter are considerably okay compared to other places, but the lightlibg are not enough. It was too dimmed for a big space like that. When having dinner it is best to have some light so that we could enjoy the food by looking at the shapes and colour. The ambience of the buffet area changed almost after 40 minutes, maybe due to complaint or the setting or the lighting system..

Food wise, I would say they have quite variety range : the traditional kuih are nice as is should be and I like their 'air asam boi' as well..

Iftar 18 : @ the office

We are having 'Majlis Berbuka Puasa' today at the office, but since I have to control, nurse and running around with two babies, I decided not to join this office event.
Anyway the chicken curry smells good, that will be servd with 'roti jala'. Normally when we have a meeting, it is hard to control the portion of this roti jala, because it's so tasty and the curry is perfect, everybody will take more that what were allowed. So whoever came late will just smell the curry without having to taste it :0

Preparation in progress..hot stuff !!


Plate to be stuffed with good food..buffet ettiquete - one plate for one type of food but people tend to mixed everything in...I do sometimes..brake all the rules :-@


These remind me of my small project..


Buffet table

Iftar 18:update @Syed Bistro, South City Plaza

Nasi Bukhara @ Syed Bistro:

The chicken bukhara came in BIG portion with well cook and tender chicken plus one boiled egg. Side dishes are papadom and acar.
The rice could be eaten without any gravy because it's been cooked with spices that gives extra flavour, tumeric powder,milk , corriander leaves,etc.


Acar is a must-have side dish, as it act just like salad. The taste of sweet and sour of acar will open up our taste bud as it made of pickled manggo, fresh carrot, cucumber, chilli powder and some spices.


Extra gravy for my partner (Beef curry)


'Food Critic' ..she loves papadom so much :-)

Iftar 18: Nasi Bukhara

We'll be going to Syed Bistro for Iftar today, maybe in Puchong or South City..that will be another portion of curry and spices.

Spices like fenugreek is good as milk booster for breastfeeding woman.

Will update after Iftar..

Iftar : 17

I like anything grilled, be it beef, lamb, chicken or fish, bought marinated lamb shoulder at Cold storage Alamanda last two day for yesterday Iftar along with fresh salad.


Mixed fruit : apple, red plum and pineapple..combination of sweet and sour, a perfect combination after a hearty meal


Salad : need some fibre after eating all those lamb



Starter or can be served as dessert : South Indian type of pudding called 'Keseri', made of sago mixed with raisin. This is a complimentary dessert from mamak restaurant that we bought other dishes (kurma, curry and sambal)



Baulu rendang with chillie sauce. The shape looks kinda weird in this photo :-)

This is the best thing about being in Malaysia, we have everything to try out..

Gulai Nangka

Its been 17 days of fasting...i miss my mom's good food like this Gulai Nangka :-



This version of gulai nangka is easy to cook, just put everything (jackfruit,spices,sour slice,shrimp) together in a pot, add water, cook until boil, add some coconut milk, let it simmer, add some salt.

Then fried some slice onion,curry leaves, corriander and star anise until brown, pour into the pot and let it boil for few minutes..and done..

Iftar : dishes from Pasar Ramadhan Putrajaya

I did not have enough time to cook yesterday, so we just cook rice and bought other dishes and kuih from Pasar Ramadhan not far from MOF (Ministry if Finance) Putrajaya. There are quite variety of food, all you got to do is walk, survey all the food and the price and of coz we can't tell whether the taste is as good as the presentation. So far we have marked few stall that could satisfy our taste :-)



Starter : Tepung pelita (RM2.00) Smooth and sweet, it comes with white (coconut base)top with green bottom.


Green : buah melaka - made of flour with stuff 'gula melaka' inside and garnished with fresh grated coconut (RM1.00). Brown : kuih kosui- I was looking for 'kuih lompang' but could not find one, found this revised version instead..ok la (RM1.00)


Kebab : bread stuffed with minced meat, onion, cucumber, chillie sauce and mayo (RM2.00)


Popia basah : this is my favourite especially when it comes with dried shrimp and lavish toppings...


Popia goreng : hubby's favourite,the ingredients are the same except for the sauce


Daging salai masak lemak , it looks like siput sedut in this photo :-)


Pucuk paku masak lemak : another traditional dish, this is his choice, he's more Malay than me :)


Laici-kang : dried dates, longan, dried nutmeg,sago...etc
