Ramadhan is Coming!

Welcome Ramadhan!

In welcoming the holy month of Moslem, here I wanna share about some menu of traditional foods and drinks that suitable for your sahur and fastbreaking. Fasting is abstaining from eating and drinking during daylight hours(from subuh to maghrib prayer). Sahur is the earlier breakfast which roles as a supply of energy to run our fasting all day long. During fasting, thristy and hungry are the most we feel, so when the time goes to breakfasting, we usually want to consume fresh beverages and delicious food to pay the struggle when we do fasting.

What I want to share is the menu that usually used by my family during Ramadhan.
