Iftar with the Clan

It was a get-together for iftar with our relatives on the maternal side. Mom had actually scrapped the idea as she said she was too tired and too busy to plan anything.  However, Pa asked if we could still have it, just to gather the whole family for iftar and jemaah prayers.

So, last night was the only suitable night to have it. Starting from noon, Mom and aunt worked hard at preparing tonight's dishes. I helped out as much as I can, but I'm not a good cook. The main cooking is done by Mom. I only assisted her with the cutting, chopping, washing, cleaning, grinding, blending, frying and stirring. (Cam banyak je bunyi dia kan? Ahahaha..)

For the main dish, Mom made chicken rice with all its sauces and sidelines. Aunt prepared beef stew as the appetiser. For a side dish, we had some mixed vegetables. We also had a variety of fruits and Mom's famous curry puffs for desserts. I think there was more food served but I can't remember what they were. The ones I mentioned above are the ones I remembered eating.

It was a good turn out last night. Many of our relatives came. After iftar, we had jemaah prayers for Maghrib, Isya', tarawikh and also witir.

My sister managed to sneak a shot of us during prayers. I'm afraid there were no other pictures as we were too busy filling our mouths and stomachs to bother with camwhoring.
