Map to Bazaar Ramadhan Jalan SS6/1, Kelana Jaya (click to enlarge)

Ah, the long weekend was great for a well deserved break! We met up with the gang (Chris, Christine, Ivy, Wen Ching), drove up to Klang for dinner (and bumped into James!), celebrated our fifth year together and make it a point to visit one of the bazaars around Klang Valley. We have always love the Bazaar Ramadhan at Kelana Jaya for the bewildering array of stalls selling delicious food.

Ikan Bakar with Margarine and Garlic

Spotted were some familiar stalls, such as this famous cencaru sambal stall.

This ikan bakar stall sees a perpetual queue too. Ranging from RM5 to RM10, the ikan bakars were reasonably priced.

Fancy some sotong bakar (grilled squid)?

For RM2, we got a big packet of these prawn crackers with peanut sauce and chili sauce. It’s meant to be eaten ala rojak s style.

Frying up some juicy kebabs.

We see some western influences here;  pizza with fusion toppings were fresh from the oven.

We recognized this  pak cik who is manning the satar stall. He is a funny and cheerful guy, and he clicked really well with KampungBoy because they are both “Budak” Terengganu. Satar is made of ikan tenggiri, shallots and ginger wrapped in banana leaf, pierced on a skewer then barbecue over low fire.

Stalls selling barbecued chicken wings were aplenty in the bazaar.

Throngs of people were patronizing this particular stall that sells popiah basah too.

Lemang, an essential dish for breaking fast in the month of Ramadhan.

It is interesting to see the making of Roti Jala, the outcome is just like a piece of art work.

30 cents satay

I can’t leave a Bazaar Ramadhan without buying a piece or two of these Ayam Percik with peanut sauce.

Nasi Lemak Puyuh Goreng

Sup Tulang is a “must have” item for KampungBoy. For only RM5, the portion was HUGE!

Nasi Lemak Cikgu is probably one of the most famous of nasi lemak around and they are having a stall at the bazaar this year. Their fried chicken was the boom but we find the rice and sambal mediocre.

Drinks in a myriad of colors.

Air Kartira from JB? We were told that it was made of milk, ice cream soda, cendol, cincau, assam boi, green coloring, etc. Sorry, we were not game enough for that “shrek-ing” green colored drink.

Agar Agar in Paddle Pop’s rainbow color.

There is no better time for us to titillate taste buds than by touring the various bazaars Ramadan over the country this weekend. So, here we go again, another long pictorial post on the wide array of mouth watering local delicacies available at bazaar Ramadan Bangsar (infront of the mosque and aneka selera Bangsar). This time around, we arrived at the bazaar as early as 4pm to avoid the crowds and queues.

Again, we would love to feature few of the famous stalls here. The first one would be the Portuguese style seafood that Boolicious has featured in her Ramadan post before. Selling at RM 5 per serving, the stir fry squid is very good; the fiery red gravy added a spicy aroma to this dish.

An enticing stall – Raja Murtabak with nothing but murtabaks in sight can be found as you walk along the bazaar. One can choose from biasa (RM2.50), special (RM5.00) or raja (double the size, with extra minced meat and cheese – RM 10.00).

Towards the end of the bazaar is an Indian Rojak stalls managed by a bunch of friendly chatty guys. Assorted fried stuffs are spread across the long table for customers to pick and the guys will cut it into smaller slices. Sometimes, freebies (courtesy of the boss) are thrown into your basket without you realizing.  The fried stuff that we bought came with a big packet of rojak sauce with cucumbers and onions.

The jumbo size prawn fritters are out of the world delicious!  It is selling at only RM 1.50.

This Kelantanese stall has a good scene of folks in the mission. Judging by the number of customers who queue under the hot sun just for a taste of it, we kiasuly bought a packet of nasi dagang and nasi kerabu. To my surprise, the nasi dagang is as good as the one from Kampung Ladang. The rice, steamed together with coconut milk is aromatic, pairs perfectly with the tuna gulai darat.

The first sight that greeted us – Ayam Percik stall.

Sarawak Café came out with something new, rojala – a hybrid of roti jala and murtabak. If you were to ask the verdict, it was too bland for our liking.

Thirst Quenchers Anyone?

There’s quite a number of Ikan Bakar Portugis stall around but our favourite remains as the previous stall with stir fry squid.

Stir Fry Kerang

Kueh Jongkong

Savory Kueh with Chicken and Chili.

Kuih Bakar

Towards the end of the bazaar is the nasi lemak kukus stall that sells piping hot nasi lemak with various dishes.

 Chocolate Cake (RM 2 per slice)

 Have a good weekend everyone!

It’s that time of the year again. The weather is not doing us any good for the past few days but fortunately Sunday evening was all bright and sunny so we stopped by TTDI. The stalls have not changed much compared to last year’s. For your information, there are four MUST TRY in the bazaar – Popiah Power, Nasi Briyani Johor, Ayam Percik and Pulut Udang. How to spot these famous stalls? The wonderful aroma will lead you to the stalls with perpetual queue. Let’s feast your eyes with these delicacies from Bazaar Ramadhan at TTDI, Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 3.

Bazaar Ramadhan is a month long bazaar open to the public during the fasting month of Ramadan (the ninth month of the Islamic calendar) prior to the festival of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It actually unite the Muslims from all states in a period of fasting and and community bonds where everyone gather to pray and break the fast.

For us Chinese, we get to join in for the joy of fast breaking. I love to make a move to Bazaar Ramadhan for the bewildering array of stalls selling delicious food. Spurred by the recent review of Boolicious on Bazaar Ramadhan at Kelana Jaya, we made a stop over there last weekend, to take pictures and of course to savour the mouth watering delicacies.

Feast your eye on the pictures first! I’ll try to update the name of the various delicacies and a map to Bazaar Ramadhan at Kelana Jaya by tonight. Stay Tune!

Attracted by the red coloured chilli glaze and sesame seeds, we bought some Popiah Beseri (RM 1 for 2) where the chilli sauce is tooth ache-ing-ly sweet. A It was bunches of deceiving popiahs that lure us into buying it. I’ll try to get it from other stalls on my next visit here.

Kampungboy almost gone crazy over these Ikan Bakar, especially ikan pari bakar. Pari was selling at RM 6 and above while Ikan Kembong was selling at RM 3 and above. The makcik was very nice to give us some discount since we took a very nice shot of her pan frying the fishes.

Murtabak (RM 2 f0r 1). The thin dough is filled with minced meat, chicken or beef, garlic, egg and onion. It is then fried on a griddle until it turns golden brown.

The cute little mini Roti Boom is selling at only RM 0.50 for one. It is a great invention for people like me who want to try a bit of everything but not to stuff myself silly. A very sinful snack, oily roti coupled with margerin and a dollop of sugar, do not over indulge on it ya?

Roti Arab is originated from the Arab countries and Turkey. It is quite sweet and a little hard to bite on.

You can choose to have the grilled meat (chicken or beef) to served with pita bread or plain bread. (RM 2.50)

One is hard to miss the Ayam Golek stall. It was selling at RM 13 for one chicken and RM 7 for half chicken. There were rows and rows of chickens turning on the griller over charcoal fire.

Lemang is a traditional Malay food where glutinour rice and coconut milk is cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick. It goes very well with curry gravy.

The man selling Sata (RM 3 for 6) originated from Kuala Terengganu, just like Kampungboy so they had a very good chat. It is made of ikan tenggiri, shallots and ginger wrapped in banana leaf, pierced on a skewer then barbecue over low fire. I tasted some shredded coconut in it too, giving it a slightly sweet and course texture. Unlike otak otak, the fish paste is bouncy instead of mousse like.

Pelbagai Lauk Pauk (assorted dishes) that goes well with nasi (plain rice), nasi impit (compressed rice) , pulut (glutinour rice) , lemang (glutinous rice and santan) or mee hoon (rice vermicelli).

Sambal Cili Grilled Kembong and Sambal Cili Grilled Cencaru reminds me of my mum, who can make really good sambal stuffed kembong and she always take the trouble to blend her own chili paste that has kick!

Another delicacies that will make Kampungboy goes crazy, sup tulang! Selling at only RM 5, the portion is huge and the soup is very peppery.

The lady was busy preparing some Popiah Basah on the spot. The ingredients is very much similar to Chinese Popiah where sengkuang (yam bean), bean sprouts and fried shallots are laid on top of the wet pastry sheet.

The adik is so cute, he is busy slicing the apam balik (RM 2) into smaller pieces in a very familiar manner.

I was delighted to see a stall selling Kuih Pelita, my favourite kueh. It was selling at RM 1 for 3, the white coloured layer is flavoured with coconut milk, while the green layer is flavoured with pandan leaf.

Kuih Denderam is a mini doughnut shaped like snacks made of brown sugar and shredded coconut. It was so crispy and sweet, another favourite of mine.

Kuih Bakar (thanks to full time mum n udjinn) Kuih Bingka or Seri Muka? Can anyone please enlighten me on this, it tastes like Kuih Bingka but the vendors told us that it was called Seri Muka. They even poke a joke on us, “makan banyak sikit dan you akan kelihatan muda, muka berseri seri tu!” (Eat more of this and you’ll look young, face glowing with radiance!)

Putu Piring Gula Melaka. Putu piring was steamed through in the flat mould, once the lid is open, the smell of rice flour, grated coconut and palm sugar is wafting in the air. It is truly a light dessert to end my meal.

The fresh dates imported from Saudi Arabia are selling like hot cakes. The red one is Saudi Arabia Huluwa and while the yellow one is Barhi. (information from Malaysia Best)
