The Global Suhoor Treat: Bubur Pulut Hitam

The Global Suhoor Treat: Bubur Pulut Hitam~

In Malaysia, making and distributing ‘buburlambuk’, a creamy rice porridge made of meat pieces, coconut milk, spices and other savory condiments is customary. This is also done at many local mosques :)

Another aspect is the Ramadan bazaar that spring up at almost every corner of the country. This offers an array of delicacies for iftar and suhoor. Local Eid songs are also played on the radio and in shopping malls, adding to the festive mood :)

Explore with me the pre-dawn meal served around the world :D :D
