Hari Raya

Hari Raya is the Malaysian common terminology for Eid, the month after Ramadan. In Malaysia, and throughout the Muslim world it's a pretty big party. I'm not Muslim so I really don't know all the reasoning for the holiness of this. BUT, I do know the food! Especially in Malaysia. Oh the food! And new clothes, and going to friends houses, and relatives, and.... so much fun!

Anyway, It's coming on Monday. My host mom in KL is getting ready to go to my "little" brother's house, my aunt has arrived in in KL to spend time with the family there. I'm sure they've made all the biscuits, and are getting ready to make all the ketupat
 

and rendang
 

and all the other incredibly yummy foods for Hari Raya.



I wish I was there. Well, sort of, I can't eat sugar or carbs right now,

 

so I don't want to be there and not be able to eat all the raya yummies. But I miss the family. So, here's a Hari Raya card image for everyone!
