2011 Ramadan Bazaar @ Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur

kuih seri ayu, a steamed pandan flavoured sponge cake topped alongside freshly grated coconut


Sharing experiences are ever agency to a greater extent than fun I reckon. Especially when it is alongside people who convey never been to Ramadan Bazaars.



            vadai, a deep-fried Indian snack made from gram flour as well as spices


Apologies for the super long absence but as commons I got tangled upwardly alongside operate (the nemesis of my life!!). It's slow getting dorsum to normal this week. While whatever normal mortal would rejoice on that thought, I am secretly dreading it (shock, horrors those are the niggling signs of a workaholic).



                             grilled bishop's olfactory organ (tongkeng inwards Malay)


Back to the bazaar, I've been promising my friend J to innovate him to the joys of trawling through these month-long-only "eat streets" for some time. I finally managed to fulfill the hope in conclusion Sunday. Together alongside 2 swain Ramadan Bazaar novices, nosotros tackled the Taman Melawati bazaar inwards total force.



                                  lempeng, banana pancake alongside coconut


I estimate they all got carried away....the 3 of them went forth into bazaar field as well as grabbed everything that took their fancy. I was but happy to stroll unopen to snapping pictures.



                                           lobster at the ikan bakar stall


I've ever loved returning to a familiar bazaar - yous location people yous recognise from by years similar the tempoyak guy alongside his lonely pot doling out the durian scented kokosnoot milk broth, the multiple nasi lemak bungkus varieties as well as the Indian household unit of measurement selling vadai as well as putu mayam.



              akok, a Kelantanese delicacy made from eggs as well as kokosnoot milk


Balancing the tension of the one-time are novel as well as fascinating stalls similar the akok seller who uses the traditional charcoal burn downward to fix the East Coast egg-and-coconut-milk delicacy. Usually a gas burn downward is used to fix this sweetness process since it is less tedious. The charcoal burn downward method produces a soft wobbly custard infused alongside a slight smoky flavor that makes it ane of the ameliorate akoks I convey tasted.



kuih cara berlauk, savoury Malay kueh alongside minced meat, deep fried shallots chopped saltation onions


I was as fascinated alongside some other rarity, the lempeng stall. The pancake similar dessert is made alongside freshly grated kokosnoot as well as chopped bananas that is wrapped inwards banana foliage to grill. While I don't run into this often, it seems this delicacy is also offered at the Taman Greenwood Ramadan Bazaar, a house I visited quite a few years back.



                                             ayam percik, grilled chicken


With the traditional, there'll ever live stalls selling whatever is trending, similar Angry Bird fondant topped cupcakes. I estimate these volition appeal to the younger set.



                                 ikan kembung bakar alongside sambal


Since nosotros were a fiddling late, the bazaar was inwards total swing, chicken existence grilled inwards diverse ways - over charcoal fires - inwards specially made rotisserie cabinets. The whole chicken stall nigh to the highway seemed to live doing roaring concern alongside a huge queue but nosotros did grade some aromatic ayam bakar that didn't take away much wait.



                                           deep fried cempedak fritters


The traders appear to convey upped their game here. Spotted ane ikan bakar stall touting deluxe lobster! I nearly missed it until they kept pointing it out. There's a sign on it which says it has been sold, wonder who scored the crustacean for buka puasa that night.



                                                     rendang daging


Instead nosotros settled for the to a greater extent than humble ikan kembung bakar topped alongside lots of sambal. It lacked much punch though. Would convey preferred the stuffed cencaru diversity commonly institute inwards Kelana Jaya.



                                                angry aeroplane fondant cupcakes


A must-have for Raya would live lemang, the sticky rice cooked as well as grilled inwards bamboo tubes. Accompanying it would live rendang, tiresome cooked beef inwards a rich kokosnoot milk spiced gravy. One of my all fourth dimension favourites is the drier but super aromatic rendang tok from Perak.



                                          the agency to shell the raindrops



                                                          creme caramel



                                    ayam golek, rotisserie whole chicken



                                                    petai, stinky beans


We made a hasty retreat from the bazaar alongside the raindrops falling, a prevailing gamble exhibit peculiarly since the monsoon rains beckon circular the corner. Tasting the whole haul (imagine ane tabular array total of plastic bags alongside diverse items) was a mix of hits alongside some mediocre as well as ane super neglect item (the tofu bakar).


I'm non as good certain if this could live the in conclusion bazaar posting but I definitely volition campaign as well as slot inwards the Kelana Jaya ane this calendar week since I convey ever loved the laksam from a item stall there. Hopefully they convey non packed upwardly as well as gone dorsum to kampung as I convey heard that most people are instantly making their agency domicile for the celebrations already. Fingers as well as toes crossed I larn to consume my favourite laksam this year.
