Happy Fasting To All My Muslim Friends!

Fasting is another unique moral and spiritual characteristic of Islam. Literally defined, fasting means to abstain "completely" from foods, drinks, intimate intercourse and smoking, before the break of the dawn till sunset, during the entire month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year.

I'm not Muslim but I'm the one who will be so excited during this fasting season because it'll be lasting for a month! As we know, lots of variety foods and drinks will be sold. Most of the hotels in Sabah also will be starting their Ramadan Buffet but of course, the price will be quite expensive!

Everytime I go to the Pasar/Bazaar Ramadan, I'll be looking for ABC and Penang Assam Laksa. Not forgetting the Popiah, Karipap, Murtabak Sayur, etc. Unfortunately, the stalls here in Keningau is not quite 'happening' compare to Lahad Datu and Kota Kinabalu. That's why I only went to Pasar Ramadan once a week during fasting season last year! I really hope it'll be more 'happening' this year.

To all my Muslim friends, Happy Fasting and to those non-Muslim, enjoy your trip to Pasar Ramadan starting tomorrow, 22nd Aug 09. My friend, John Bakar reminds me not to eat too much, otherwise...thanks for the advice John...LOL
