Limbang's Ramadhan Stalls
By Dwi Abdullah

Bandar Seri Begawan - For Muslims, Ramadhan is a significant period for spiritual reflection, prayers, doing good deeds and spending more time with family and friends.

It is also a time for bazaars and stalls that offer all kinds of traditional Malay fare, some of which are only available during the fasting month.

In Limbang, makeshift stalls mushroom at nooks and corners offering food and beverages for the "berbuka puasa" needs of Muslims. Bruneians who go for shopping trips in Limbang are seen frequenting the stalls and looking for food and beverages.

The stalls, set up as early as 4pm, are packed with people of all races, and attract Muslims and non Muslims to their special delicacies.

Working city dwellers who do not have time to cook, rush to the bazaars to buy pre-cooked dishes to enjoy with their families at home.

Customers throng the bazaars as early as 5pm to buy local kuih, cakes and drinks or traditional dishes like rendang tok and gulai lemak cili padi ikan.

Aroma from stalls selling freshly grilled ayam percik, ayam golek and ikan bakar draw buyers and are usually a hit during the buka puasa.

For traders, it is a chance to earn some extra income in time for Hari Raya celebrations. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
