Food Preparations for Raya

Prior to the start of Hari Raya, women (and men alike) will busy themselves with the preparation of various Raya delicacies such as Ketupat, Rendang, Lemang, Kuih Raya and more. It is also customary for many Malay Muslim households to procure agar-agar in all imaginable colours, bottled carbonated drinks such as F&N Orange, Strawberry, Grape and Coca-Cola. We bet you're guilty of this too!

Bright Shining Pelitas

The arrival of Hari Raya will see many houses lit up with colourful pelitas. Ever wondered why this practice is performed? Well, during the early days of the arrival of Islam among Malays, lighting oil lamps were thought to attract spirits of deceased relatives and angels to their homes during Lailatul Qadar. With the realisation that it's purely a fallacy, pelitas today are ignited for their aesthetic and cultural purposes only.
