It is the month of Ramadan and the traditional Pasar Ramadan is a must have and common sight in just about every town and even village nationwide...Rembau; Pa's hometown is no exception.
Last Sunday, 23 September 2007, we headed for Rembau to buka puasa with Wan. We left Seremban after zohor stopping by the infamous Leman Dawi cendol stall to 'tapau' cendol for the evening buka puasa. The cendol has been pre-packed in what they called package; the cendol, santan and sweetener packed separately at RM8 per package. Don't worry...they are generous when packing the cendol...enough for a family of 4...adults.

Still early and the usual crowd is not here yet
That's the 'boss' himself posing Pa's
Wan did not expect us to show up on a Sunday afternoon; Pa did not want to trouble her in preparing meals if we had informed her of our coming back. So, it was a great excuse to visit the Pasar Ramadan in Rembau town which is now relocated next to the Masjid Jamek. Hmm...hope the mosque is as active as the Pasar Ramadan.
We were at the pasar early to avoid the crowd
Our first stop at a stall run by Pa's distant cousin to buy some dishes
A samosa stall caught our attention.
There are many of these stalls selling all kind of drinks
The murtabak is among the favourite in Ramadan
Another stall also run by Pa's relative...we got some FOC food compliment of the wife (in pink tudung)
Across the stall, there is the nasi ayam...but we had enough food for buka puasa.
Soon, we were making our way out of the Pasar Ramadan area
That evening we buka puasa with lots of food. Fortunately, Bang Long came later with Bang Teh (Zaid) who had to get a ride from us to Seremban after missing his bus. They helped finish the food which would have been wasted...or rather become Wan's ayam kampong ration.
We arrived at Bang Teh's school gate almost 11pm. As a result, he had to walk all the way from the guard house as no car is allowed at that late hours.
Just before midnite, we arrived at our Seremban home with food brought from kampong and pasar Ramadan for Sahur later.
