RAMADAN BAZAAR

Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting in which all Muslims do not eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset. This year, Ramadan started on 01 September and is expected to be over at the end of this month. Hari Raya Aidil Fitri or Hari Raya Puasa will be celebrated to mark the end of Ramadan most likely on 01 October.During the month of Ramadan, food bazaar is set up to cater for Muslims to buy food to break their fast. It is also the time for non-Muslims to join in to savour the freshly prepared Malay cuisine like ,rendang, satay, curry, BBQ chicken, fish and dessert .
This evening, I visited a Ramadan bazaar in the city and took these pictures.
An array of colourful and interesting Malay cakes
