Hari Raya Aidilfitri is one of the biggest celebrations in Malaysia. During this time, majority of our Muslim friends will hold open houses and invite their friends, family and relatives to their houses.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is known to be the time you can find various type of food from mostly the Malay community. However, since Malaysia is a multi-racial country, you can also find various food from other races being served to the guests too. That’s the beauty of living in Malaysia. We celebrate each other celebrations. various races and religions will come together under one roof to celebrate an occasion.

Managed to pay a visit to a Muslim friend’s house yesterday. Here are some of the food found at my friend’s house. Mind you, these are just a fraction only! There’s still more and if you manage to visit more houses, you will be greeted with various kind of food.

Usually on their first day, they will serve various main courses to their guests. Food are served buffet-style. After the first day, some will not be serving all these food anymore, some will. It’s all up to the tradition of each family.

Besides the main courses, there are also tidbits served.

There are also various cookies and biscuits available.

The following will be something you will surely see in every open house. The famous kuih/kek lapis.




They are very colourful and come in various designs. Not only that, there are many types of flavours available too.

Those colourful kuih/kek lapis with various patterns or motifs are known as kuih/kek lapis Sarawak or kuih/kek batik Sarawak.

Hope you enjoy the food.

To our Muslims readers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
