Took a flight from Penang to Kuala Lumpur last Wednesday (Sept 24); almost made a costly hoo-hah… as I somehow managed to mistaken the arrival time in KL as the departure time from Penang. Luckily it’s a short (50 mins) domestic flight, thus still managed to check in just 10 minutes before the check-in counter was closed.
Life is colourful with these silly moments once in a while… hope that these stupidity won’t occur too often though lol.
Ramadan is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, in which the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting… Muslims would not eat or drink anything from true dawn until sunset [more on Wiki]
Ramadan is huge in Malaysia with Islam being the predominant religion; temporarily food markets (pasar ramadan) would be set up in various places during the month for the convenience of the Muslims to buy their food for breaking of fasts.
As for non-Muslim, it’s a month to sample a great varieties of dishes and cuisines from the Ramadan markets; it’s also quite a popular season for foreign travellers to visit Malaysia for the traditional food and cultural experience.
Sharing some photos from a Ramadan bazaar in Seberang Jaya, Penang…
