Raya @ Izah's

While attending a wedding in Kota Belud on Sunday, we got a call from Izah inviting us for lunch on the 3rd day of Hari Raya. So together with hubby's parents in his dad's car, we went over to Kinarut on Monday for another Hari Raya visiting. As we arrived at Izah's, her cute daughter Fara was already waiting and looking for her grandma (hubby's mum). She kept on asking my FIL, "Where's grandma? Where's grandma?". She must have missed her grandma very much, so cute hehe...Anyway, we were greeted by Izah and her family and soon after that, drinks and wonderful Raya cookies were served!! The thing about Hari Raya that I always look forward to each year is the cookies and delicious dishes that are normally being prepared and served. My all time favourite Raya cookies is of coz the famous Kuih Makmur that melt in your mouth while my favourite Raya dish is no other than the beef rendang!! So, when Izah and her mom were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, I happily and shamelessly devoured the Kuih Makmur... mmmmm...so yummy!!

When lunch was ready and served, we moved to the dining area and oh boy, I can tell you that not only did the food looked delicious, they taste wonderful too! Besides the kismis mixed with cashew nuts rice (which I transferred all kismis to hubby's plate coz kismis or raisins is a BIG NO NO for me hehe), there were beef rendang (yay!!), chicken curry, chicken in black soya sauce, sticks of chicken and beef satay, ikan masak merah, nasi impit and ketupat. We, especially me and hubby really enjoyed the sumptious dishes coz they were indeed very tasteful!! I Like!! Even hubby commented that the dishes were better than Sempelang's!

We left Izah's around 3pm and lil' Fara followed us to our apartment and played with her fav uncle. I could hear her laughter even from the apartment when she and hubby were playing at the playground. I bet she must have slept early that evening hehe...
