Breaking fast with family (edited)

I always look forward to the first Saturday of Ramadhan :) Many people took this opportunity to go back to their hometown to break fast with their parents. I remembered my 'zaman2 bujang' when I really looked forward to go back to Kuala Pilah to break fast with my parents and the rest of my siblings... Seronok berebut lauk masa berbuka! :) Those were wonderful memories that I will never forget :)

This year, alhamdulillah, we got the chance to organize another majlis berbuka puasa for both side of the family - my side and hubby's. And again alhamdulillah... most of them managed to make it except hubby's brothers, Hamzah (& his family) and Zali.. and my nephew, Johan who's now studying in MRSM Merbok. As usual, my mom was so excited! Pagi2 lagi sudah sibuk di dapur dengan bibik(dia pesan kat bibik, 'arini tak yah sapu rumah la bik... kita ke dapur terus!' Hah?? Nasib baik la bibik pandai curi masa mengemas rumah lepas sahur.. kalau tak... aduss... segan le makcik rumah berhabuk! :P).

The menu? Hmm.... the usual Roti Jala (ni permintaan ramai okay! Almost every year majlis berbuka puasa with family members kena ada roti jala! Dah jadi tradition gitu... it's everyone's favourite!), Kari Ayam (to eat with the roti jala of course!), ikan masak lomak cili padi with mangga (ahhh... my stomach is making funny noise right now by just talking about food!! :P), Sambal Udang (fresh udang imported from Selayang... bought by Dik Ma... thanks sis!), Sayur Campur (Wan's evergreen favourite!)... ada lagi ke?? tak ingat lagi ahh! But there was 'menu tambahan' - Laksa Johor (especially made by my sis, Dr Na), Rendang Daging (prepared by mother in law... love you mak!), Kuih Tako (sponsored by Dik Ma) and Kuih Tepung Pelita (sponsored by my bro, Angah). Lots of mouth-watering food... I tell you!!! And not to forget my famous punch and bibik's teh panas! :) Another special menu prepared by Bibik was Sambal Ikan Bilis Kacang tapi tak keluar pun masa buka puasa tu - this one special 'lauk tapau'... atas permintaan ramai!!! Huhu... :D

After stuffing those yummy food in our hungry stomach, kami solat Maghrib berjemaah... diimamkan oleh my bro-in-law, Bang Long Azhar :) Syukur alhamdulillah... Seronok berkumpul sebegini... mengeratkan lagi silaturahim sesama kami... especially between the 2 families :) Moga tahun depan dipanjangkan umur dan dimurahkan rezeki lagi untuk meng'organize' majlis2 sebegini! Amiin :)

Photos? A lot!! But bulan Ramadhan ni time is so precious! Tak berkesempatan nak upload gambar lagi... may be later okay :).

Adiel, Ilhan (both from hubby's side), Harith and Aiman (from my side) chose to berbuka sambil tenguk TV. Seronok tenguk both families 'blend' together :)
