inferiority complex thy suffer…

How can one not love this country?

Their love affair with everything food and cuisine is like a blessing from God. Previous post echoes how easily enticed I am with food even on normal days.One of the main reason I always look forward towards the end of english class( No, its not because of you Mr Tan ) is because lunch time is after english.A routine excercise being observed religiously untill now was Dennis and I will head to the cafeteria and secured a seat.Here,the fun begins.

What to eat? What to eat? What to eat?

Now, its that time of the  the month again where  glucose deficiency and dehydration is deliberate.Cafeteria frequenting was temporarily stopped making way for a more exciting food browsing experience.

The Bazaar.

I couldnt even start about how exciting the whole experience of going to a Bazaar Ramadhan. Especially the big ones in Melawati.My only complain is the wallet-hurting price.People are taking advantage since it is only a once in a year affair,( now even more with sugar and chilli price going up).

Apart from a thick wallet, one must be armed with a certain knowledge before flexing into a full fledge buying spree at the Bazaar to prevent dissapointment.

Resourcefullness is the key.Which has the best ayam percik? Which makcik sells the most succulent kuih seri muka? Which nasi kerabu seller offer value for money? Roti John abang mane  whips out a mean sauce for them?.Be forewarned though, a long waiting line is expected.

Wait, dont get discouraged just yet.

Weigh the calculations,better to wait and taste heaven rather than rush and regret it when it dawned to you later that what you ate for berbuka was crap.Opportunists feed on festive seasons. Do not be surprised to find the mechanic shop around your neigborhood was closed and found the owner opening a tau-foo-fa stall in Bazaars.Patience is indeed virtue here.Puasa,puasa..

Oho. One vital strategy. Early birds gets the most worms.latecomers, dont come and complain to me  that u came across a makcik that say to you with a genuine kesian look,

" Alamak adik, tinggal ekor je ikan bakar nih. Amik je lah, sedekah puasa.."

I’ve imposed a warning.Unless, you want free stuff ( albeit the leftovers )

Bon appetit’
