RAYA FOODS<br />

Kepada Saudara Serta Saudari,<br />
Setahun Hanya Sekali,<br />
Merayakan Hari Yang Mulia Ini."<br />
If you hear the above lyrics blasting through the sound system at shopping malls and restaurants,<br />
it's festivities galore as Muslims celebrate Eid or better known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Malaysia<br />
during the second week of July. But, don't be confused if you see us still celebrating the<br />
occasion for a month or more. Oh yes, we do love a good celebration and the food that<br />
comes along with it. Here are 10 of them that you should and must try this Raya!<br />
For the uninitiated, the lyrics loosely translate to: "Happy Aidilfitri Everyone, The Occasion<br />
Comes Only Once A Year, Let's Celebrate This Noble Festival."<br />

rendang (spicy meat dish).<br />
