Happy Ramadan 2015 & Yummy Lasagna Recipe for Iftar

Salam Ramadan everybody ! How's you Ramadan so far ? It's the 6th day of fasting and my body and mind is still getting used to the whole routine. Fasting is actually more of a mind over matter, psychological and spiritual. For me the non eating or drinking is not so much the issue because if your mind is set to it, you will do it.

For me, Ramadan is similar to New Year because i often reflect, reset and re strategise life outlook and plans. There's a lot more time during this month to do so, because there's extra time during lunch breaks for pondering, some gap time during sahoor and sunrise plus Terawikh prayers are great time for Dua and seeking his blessings. I hope you've adjusted to the timings and change of routine, it's only the first week, but i'm telling you time will fly and soon it will be Eid. So let's make the best and optimise the month.

Over the last weekend, I had an opportunity to Emcee the opening of Mother Care 13th Outlet in Atria, Petaling Jaya. Wow, this is rezeki Ramadan, and i am so ever grateful that i was invited to host it. On top of all the nice presents, i met so many other Moms and Dads who shares the same interests.

It was a great start to Ramadan, i wasn't planning to shop for Raya for Kaseh and Kefli , but couldn't resist browsing thru their latest collections.


Ok, take a breather , I don't have a specific Shopping day for Raya, and to be honest we have purchased our traditional attire well in advance, but yes might KIV these cute baby tees!

Another headache that Moms get during this Ramadan is - nak machine papa ? Preparing the anticipated Iftar meals for the family. It must be something that everyone would agree too. And Mom don't have much time and energy to spend long hours in the kitchen .

So what's cooking ? How about this 80 kg Grouper i found at Village Grocer will grocery shopping ?

Check it out! You can feed the whole family for year with this 80kg beauty.

Curry ? Steam ? Masak Lemak Cili Padi. I'm kind off afraid to cook this fish, not so sure who will purchase this, or perhaps it will remain as attraction to shoppers. What would be more practical is Yummy Lasagna that's absolutely easy to make ? So here's what we had for our Father's Day Iftar Session. The recipe is below, be sure to try !
