#37. Waduh Bagas kuliah di ITB juga yah.. hehehe gw biasanya sih ngabuburit di depan gerbang aja.. biasa dengan gorengan 250 plus teh botol... Setuju dengan alaya, makanan di Bandung enak2 dan murah2.. ayo ke Bandung!!!

Anyway di kampung gw di Padang... juga ada pasar malam kayak gini. Tapi bukanya jam 11 malam setelah taraeh sampai sahur jam 3.30 malam... Rame banget hehehehe banyak yang jualan dari ikan, kue hingga motor

Oh iya bentar mau Lebaran... Aku pengen tahu lebaran di Malaysia seperti apa..? trus malam takbirannya kayak apa..? kalau di Indonesia (di Padang, Bandung or Jakarta) semua penduduk tumpah ke jalan dengan mobil, motor, atau jalan kaki meneriakkan takbir... Ramai Pisan euy

Selamat Lebaran
Mohon Maaf Lahir Batin

#31. Adh3 (salam kenal sebelumnya),... di setiap sudut kota jakarta juga ada kok..dan seperti jamur di msm hujan saat bulan ramadhan. Tapi memang tdk selengkap di taman Tun Dr. Ismail, Malaysia. Paling hanya beberapa pedagang.
Klo mau lengkap ya langsung aja ke pusatnya...psr senen, psr jatinegara, blok M, psr kramatjati (ini dr pengalaman gue selama msh suka ngubek pasar dan pusat perdagangan... ). Tidak semuanya kok pasar di jakarta jorok dan bau. Tapi memang kebanyakan pasar tradisional kondisinya seperti itu...
Kalo pusat grosir perdagangan makanan, terutama kue utk acara2 (mis.arisan, pertemuan, de el el) ada di sekitar pasar Senen dan Blok M. Mau tau gak omzet per hari para penjualnya? jutaan bahkan ada yang puluhan juta rupiah perharinya...

Fai, emangnya kenapa si Evita keluar? nggak tahan ya ama "deadline" tempat dia kerja...

Keropok lekor di Indonesia (jakarta) disebut Bakso Ikan...

#30. ROEDI: Ga lah, ga mau jadi wartawan gue. I have a job that suits my interests and life goals perfectly fine, writing is just my hobby. If I make writing into work, I don't think I'd be as committed! Evita aja udah quit jadi wartawan.

PALINGMANIS: Ga tau "kue lupis", tapi I know "kuih lapis" hehe. Di sini warnanya hijau bersalut hirisan kelapa dan dimakan dengan air gula hitam (kita panggilnya gula Melaka, kayanya di Indonesia gula itu digelar gula Jawa). Hmm. Klepon apa pula ya.

IKRAM: Can't expect prices to stay the same, inflation is inevitable as monsoon is in our region. Alah setakat seringgit je increase takde lah heboh sangat. Air tebu tu babe, I'd pay.

ISA: I was determined to pull this article through (thanks to your encouragement juga), Ramadan is just too special for me to pass it up.

ADH3: Masa sih ga ada pasar beginian di sana? Mungkin gue belom sempat explore2 ke pasar2 Indonesia, lagi ngapain jugaaaa takut ih hehe.

I love how there are a multinational of people responding to the photos from this story: Malaysians, Indonesians, Singaporeans and even a Bruneian! I guess we all feel the same pain and joy when it comes to observing Ramadan. Either that or we just have the same favorite foods!

Selamat menghabiskan puasa, tinggal beberapa hari saja lagi.

#29. Huaaa gw bukan number one post anymore.. jauh beuuttzz.. heumm koq bisa yah ada tempat yg semuanya serba ada?

#28. Yay Ferry. I'm so glad you found the time to create this story.
The apam balik look so yummy, apam tembam! My favourite buka puasa food!
And keropok lekor...mmm..dah lama tak makan.

Anyway, nice to see you find the time to take the pics, even tho' you're quite busy.
Nasib baik dah buka puasa bila read the article, kalau tak meleleh saliva kat keyboard heh heh.

Nice picture..

Yesterday I bought murtabak ayam from pasar ramadhan at Seksyen 2, Shah Alam.. unfortunately.. lupa nak makan masa buka and pagi tadi pulak miss sahur..

Sigh.. sayang betul (or.. should I say, Celaka nya.. (??) He he..

Fai, kenapa sih gak jadi wartawan aja seperti Evita? atau sudah jadi wartawan?
Fibi..duren sawitnya sebelah mana? salam kenal sebelumnya...

#16. Umar, pembaca Mahdzan.com yang setia.

Raf, apa daa... tak pasal2 kena bambu dengan Miss Singapore kita sorang nih. Maybe this is a sign that you need to pay us a visit real soon!

Anen, I compensated the lack of textual story with 34 gorgeous pictures of the pasar malam complete with blurbs for each and everyone of them, tak cukup kaaa? I've got some other Raya-themed articles coming up (trying to meet the Raya dateline!), so I'm saving my brain cells for those too.

Quite distressing to see a grown man cry eh?
Posted by Fairy on 18-Nov-2003, 22:46 MYT

#15. Woi lissa, apa punya statement ni??? "rasa2 anen kat australia sure ngidam kalau tengok gambar2 ni" I didn't realize this until I scrolled down the page. Kalau tengok makanan mesti teringat kat aku noooo....

Hang pun sama macam Fai. SLowly trying to kill me with those tempting pictures.. Waaaa... pasar ramadan section 2 & stadium Shah ALam. Waaaaaaa. Umi, Anen nak baliiiiiik!!!!!

Fai, this time more pictures but lesser story... Why, penat puasa kaaaa????
Posted by anen on 18-Nov-2003, 21:38 MYT

#14. "These pictures were taken at the Sunday pasar malam in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI) on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, guaranteed to make any Malaysian living abroad homesick!"

Yes...Fai..indeed... It goes without saying!!!!! Why you have to do this to me??? Tormenting me like this???Waaaa.... nak balik....nak balik... Ayam percik, nasik kerabu, murtabak, cendol ...waaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Posted by anen on 18-Nov-2003, 21:15 MYT

#13. a tapai lover myself, I have to vouch for it that no one can get drunk from overdosage of tapai hahahahaa. I could eat tons of that and still wants more!!! damn, miss tapai ubi and pulut. power! hard to find nice ones these days.

I hate you Fairy for having this feature on pasar malam *sigh*

rindunya.
Posted by Rafthah on 18-Nov-2003, 20:48 MYT

#12. Ternyata cerita baru dari Fairy baru muncul. Sudah lebih tiga minggu aku tunggu update di sini. Fairy, nice report.

Hmm, I almost lost my sanity. I did stare too long at those kuihs and drinks.

My fav'rite food for break fasting: martabak goreng. My mom stuffs 'em with her special recipe of grated corn and ground shrimps.
And the drink: grated melon with cocopandan syrup and milk.

That's what keep me going home for buka even though along the way I pass so many food stalls.

Posted by umar - Website   on 18-Nov-2003, 12:53 MYT

#11. Vaneeda: it's interesting that Bruneians call apam balik "Kuih Malaya!" In Indonesia, this is apparently ""martabak manis."

Hisham: thanks for your encouragement. so far I have not had the displeasure of bringing home basi pasar malam food... yet.

Basrie: wouldn't miss writing about Ramadan for the world!

Syl: you may post about this article on your blog, I'd be delighted.

Lissa: orang kan dah kasi warning babe, hehe. Enter Fairy's photo gallery at your own risk!

Bagas: Here, if we say 'daging' we usually refer to beef. Kalau daging kambing ya 'daging kambing', kalau daging ayam just 'ayam.' Gitu. Di sini mana ada teh botol mas, kalau ada sudah lama saya teguk setiap hari!
Posted by Fairy on 18-Nov-2003, 12:15 MYT

#10. Yummiee..! whoa, I think I should go there for apam balik and yong tau foo. well, you don't prefer teh botol for ifthar fai, seger lho! but you have sirap bandung, while we bandungers do not have any ideas what it is exactly
btw, if malay calls 'daging' tu means beef/mutton instead of chicken or another meat?
lala ngabuburitnya di balubur/simpang yah? apa di kantin SC?
Posted by Bagas on 18-Nov-2003, 11:42 MYT

#9. Hi fairy!

saja ja buat perut org bunyi kan? fun to read though, good work sekali lagi.

rasa2 anen kat australia sure ngidam kalau tengok gambar2 ni.

anen, bila lagi mau pulang?

#8. Wah, what yummy yummy pasar malam goodies! Me and my daughter were stuned to see those pictures. Far, can I post your blog's address in my next posting for other bloggers to surf and enjoy the tour of Pasar Malam Photo Album?
Posted by SyL - Website   on 18-Nov-2003, 10:20 MYT

#7. Hiks hiks... gw ga sahur hari ini....

But anyway kalo di Bandung ada ngabuburit... jalan2 sore sebelum buka puasa. lumayan buat nyari pacar.. hehehehehe
Posted by lala on 18-Nov-2003, 09:44 MYT

#6. ahaa ! selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa 1424 H.

selama ini saya kalau buka puasa di luar rumah biasanya di restoran fastfood macam KFC, McD atau HokaHokaBento bersama teman2.

atau di warung pinggir jalan yang menjual 'pecel lele'.

menjelang buka puasa, jalanan di dekat kantor saya berubah menjadi macet dan mendadak sepi ketika buka puasa

jadi, alangkah baiknya kalo jalan mencari makanan untuk buka puasanya setelah shalat maghrib


Posted by hiddenhate - Website   on 18-Nov-2003, 09:24 MYT

#5. Kusangka Fairy akan terlepas isu Ramadan kerana Ramadan sudah di penghujung. Ya saya setuju, berpuasa itu tak seberapa cabaranya berbanding bangun sahur.

Tetapi menghabiskan 20 rakaat terawih dengan bacaan imam yang berjela-jela adalah satu cabaran yang hebat bagi saya. Kadang-kadang berasa malu dengan warga tua yang begitu steady menghabiskan 20 rakaat dalam masa lebih kurang 1 setengah jam. Lenguh lutut babe !

~ Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir Dan Batin ~

#4. I admire your journalistic talent in capturing events, people and issues through the lens and words. Wish I had the same proclivities : ) but I enjoy reading your work. Keep it up, might lead you somewhere fantastic. p/s: Did you notice that some of the traders at the Pasar Ramadhan are quite unscrupulous? They sell food almost spoiled/already spoilt without a guilty conscience I figure, been getting masam/basi food once in a while.
Posted by hisham on 18-Nov-2003, 09:12 MYT

#3. Oh wow, Kuih Malaya with corn bits. *Salivate*
(in Brunei Apam Balik is called Kuih Malaya because it came from... Malaysia? . Also, instead of corn bits we have raisins or sultanas. KM/AB has always been my favourite since I first tasted 'em years ago).

*stomach growls.

Yes, another 'er during sahur. .

Btw, great article and great site. Keep it up!
