Raya experience

As usual, every Raya I'll get to eat a lot of malay food such as lemang, rendang, tempoyak, nasi lemak etc. This year it's also the same but with something extra. Previous years, we either have BBQ or steamboat with the whole family. This year, we did BBQ again and I'm one of the the chef to get things cooked with charcoal :p It was fun. Anyway, that's still normal for an annual event. So I'll go straight to something new this year :)

We went visiting to my aunt's father in-law place. It's about 3o mins away from my aunt's place. Oh fyi, I normally stay in my aunts place for Hari Raya ever since my Wan (late grandma) left us. Okay, back to my aunt's father in-law place, we are excited seeing mangosteen on the trees once we reached there.

My dad start plucking and eating the mangosteen...and when we got into the house, there's so many fruits available for feasting. Rambutans, duku langsat, mangosteen, buah lembe & buah kelekuk (not too sure on the spelling though). Luckily I snapped the photo of the fruits, because I dont even have idea on how to explain what fruit it is.

This is buah lembe. Looks like garlic shape. Just bite and eat without the skin. It tastes a bit like salak, but this is juicy instead of dry and the seeds are like sugar in texture. It has the sweet after taste too. I like this interesting fruit :p


Well, the next is buah kelekuk. It's like malaysian version of the grape. It's hard when you hold the fruit, just press with a bit of pressure on the fruit till it's a bit soft, then bite and eat without the skin. It really taste a bit like grapes too.


So this are some new experience I had and it definitely is a good one. Oh ya, and if you ask me which one I like the most, it's the buah lembe :) I should have asked them to provide me the seed and see if i can plant buah lembe at home. Hahah

That's all for now. I would like to wish all Selamat Hari Raya and a happy festive season to All~!!!

"Wish you were here..."
