The simplest iftar

Alhamdulilah, I completed my 2 days fasting for Asyura last Wednesday and Thursday. It was qite tiring though, just started working and started working with fasting. However, I decided to proceed, yelah, Hari Asyura is just once a year. Don't want to wait for another year before getting the chance to fast during Hari Asyura.

What is Hari Asyura?

Got this info while doing some googling.

10 Muharram - Dinamakan juga Hari Asyura. Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran. Barangsiapa yang berpuasa pada hari Assyuuraa' yakni 10 Muharram, maka Allah akan memberikan kepadanya pahala 10,000 malaikat; dan barangsiapa yang puasa padahari Assyuuraa', maka akan diberikan pahala 10,000 orang Haji dan Umrah, dan 10,000 orang mati syahid; dan siapa yang mengusap kepala anak yatim pada hari Assyuuraa', maka Allah akan menaikkan dengan rambut satu darjat. Dan barang siapayang memberi buka puasa orang mukmin yang berpuasa pada hari Assyuuraa', maka seolah-olah memberi buka puasa semua umat Muhammad SAW. dan mengenyangkan perut mereka.

There you go!

And for the first day of fasting, my better half suggested for us to have dinner outside, he said I will be too tired to cook. But, I don't like having dinner outside. I would prefer once we reach home I can cook then I can bath and just have a drink after azan, perform my prayer and then have dinner with the cuties. I think it's more relaxing that way.

So, wanted to make it simple and at the same time, eating what I love.

This is sambal ikan bilis with cilipadi. All the ingredients are grind with lesung batu. Once that is done, must tumbuk hancuq2 no...Then, fry and ready to be eaten.

This goes very well with telur mata kerbau with kicap and chopped onions. Eaten with hot rice, memang terangkat.

My mom knew I was fasting so she also cooked masak lemak ayam for me to bring home. Jangan lupa goreng ikan masin yer puan2...Very the delicious one!

This is much better than eating out, jimat pun jimat kan!
