Foodgasm: Raya Food

My Raya Feast:

Ketupat + Kuah Lodeh – The ultimate combo! The creamy, spiced coconut broth with tender tempeh is a match made in heaven for the simple, fragrant ketupat. And yes, no tempeh shall be left behind—you’re doing the lodeh justice by scooping every last bit!

Lemang + Rendang Daging – A classic, but upgraded! No bones, no fuss—just tender, flavorful beef rendang hugging that smoky, sticky lemang. And hey, portion control is a battle we all fight during Raya… but who can resist a second (or third) slice?

Cornflakes Madu – The dangerously addictive kuih! Sweet, crunchy, and impossible to stop eating. Pro tip: Hide the refills, or you’ll turn into a one-person cleanup crew. Your family’s strategy of "this is the last batch" is the only way to save some for others!

Question for you: Do you have a favorite less common Raya dish or kuih you wish more people knew about? (Maybe something your family makes special?)

Also, good luck with the weight-cutting mission—Raya is the ultimate test of willpower! 😂
