Jongbyuk, Payletuk, Hale!

Mama had iftar away from home again. No, not at an over-priced Ramadan Buffet eatery! She and a few of her fellow Board of Trustees had iftar with the Myanmar refugee community in a suburb called Selayang, about 15-minute drive from home. It was part of the Fast2Feed programme we talked about in the previous entry (the RM30 question). The iftar spread was simple but delicious...and we learned a few Myanmarese words as well. Yeah...food names but that's what felines think of most times anyway.






This is jongbyuk, basically wheat cooked with sugar and garnished with grated coconut. Served as dessert.
This is payletuk, mainly chickpeas and cabbage stirfried with spices and curry leaves.
Hale - a type of rice and vegetable porridge in the bowls on either side of this child.
