Colourful things for iftar

I want to show you what we’ll be having for buka puasa for the next week or so.

(Puasa pun belum mula tapi dah tau nak makan apa untuk iftar, hahaha.)

Aren’t they beautiful!

Can you imagine betapa terkejutnya I tengok the supermarkets jual cherries in July. Sebab selalunya cherries ni are associated with Christmas in OZ sebab buah musim Summer kan.

But they got these imported cherries from the US and since the OZ dollar is so strong now, the cherries are so so cheap, $10 aje sekilo, hehehe.

The medjool dates are from the US jugak tak silap, also $10 sekilo, the dried apricots from Turkey about $7 for a 750g packet but the strawberries are local from Jandabup here in WA and so cheap as well at $2 for a 250g punnet Smile.

(Kalau strawberries kat Msia jual semurah ini lah kan, maulah tukang buat cuppies and cakes bersorak gumbira, hahaha.)

The supermakets kat sini are selling the dates and the dried apricots really cheap sebab nak menyambut Ramadhan. Negara Mat Saleh and supermarket Mat Saleh but at least they are trying to enter the spirit of Ramadhan jugak kan.

They are all so sweet and juicy……. The strawberries are really big as well, tengok lah saiz dia banding dengan jari The Other Half.

Makan ni aje untuk iftar sure dah kenyang kan Winking smile.

    I pun baru beli dates tadi. Bulan puasa I hanya sahur dgn dates & plain water je. Ntah, x lalu nk mkn heavy awal2 pagi. Comel je fruits dlm gambar akak tu. I pun nk jugak mcm tu tapi faham2 la kt sini mcmana kan. Kalau cherries, strawberries tu amat2 mahal, supermarket akan sale kan bila fruits tu dh x fresh lagi.....

    Aunty LG,
    Selamat Menyambut Ramadan dan Menjalani Ibadah Puasa. Semoga ibadah tahun ini lebih baik dari tahun sebelumnya. Nanti Hari Raya, kita tolong makankan rendang dan ketupat dan sambal goreng di Ijok ye? Tengok ceri tu rasa nak "balik kampung" je November nanti. har har har *evil laughs*

    LG,

    Adeh...apart from 'you-know-what'...hehe...I'm crazy about strawberries too! Kat sini mahal, tapi I still buy at least every fortnight; sebab terlebih minat!

    Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan to you and your lovely family. Semoga amalan kita berlebihan di bulan yang barakah ini.

    Kak Es,
    I guess sbb kat Perth ni ramai Muslims so tu yg diaorang pun nak untung lebih by selling cheap dates :-)

    Pendragon,
    I pun tak tertelan sahur berat2 ni, sejak dari kecik dulu I tak boleh sahur berat. But I kena minum secawan hot drink, baru rasa best :-)

    Asilah,
    Salam Ramadhan utk you juga. Kalau tgh musim strawberries kat sini, memang we all pun makan hari2 sampai tak larat tu dah :-).

    Zoe,
    They are really fresh, even though cherries tu import dari jauh :-). I kena make strawberry dip in choc fondue lah nanti :-).

    Areef,
    Salam. I rasa kalau berbuka dgn buah2an ni, memang rasa lagi segar kan :-)

    Shidah,
    Nowadays, paling murah is about $10/kg. During Xmas time, lagi lah mahal gilers padahal local cherries aje. I remember masa wedding we all kat Adelaide, we had cherries and cream for dessert :-).

    Lisa,
    Salam Ramadhan to you too :-). It certainly made me think of Christmas, luckily without the heat ;-).

    Ayu,
    Bestnya kalau dpt makan rambutan, manggis, longan, durian sampai sakit perut, hehehe. I think I lagi suka makan buah2 tu dr buah2 mat saleh ni.

    Ibundo,
    Salam Ramadhan utk ibundo sekeluraga.

    Mira,
    DSLR makes everything look pretty, hehehe.
    I think your sister bawak balik the sour variety kot because I know there is a type of dark red cherry that's sour. People normally use it in cooking :-).
    Yang I beli hari tu memang sgt2 lah sweet nya, hehehe.

    Blu4sky,
    Nasib baik lah jumpa jugak kan. I was quite lucky masa preggy both girls, I tak mengidam benda2 yg susah nak dapat ni. Or else, jenuh jugak kan nak meronda every where nak mencari :-).

    Kak Kasih,
    Kat sini pun ada strawberries yg besar and kecik but so far yg baru keluar, semua besar2. Memang sedap lah makan :-)

    Brad,
    When you eat the rendang, the ketupat, the sambal goreng, make sure you have my blog on ok so you can think of me more clearly when you eat, hehehe.

    MamaFami,
    Occasionally it's nice to makan the strawberries, cherries and everythign else. But I still rindu sgt2 kat durian fresh, rambutan fresh, longan fresh and manggis fresh, hehehe.
    Salam Ramadhan utk Mama sekeluarga juga.

    Rozita,
    Duduk OZ dpt rasa buah2an Mat Saleh but tak dpt rasa buah2an Msia yg lagi sedap tu :-).

    Kak Rashidah,
    Amin ya rabbal al amin...

    T,
    I slalu wish I can find really fresh asian fruits kat sini instead of kena makan the frozen ones, or the canned ones or the dah hitam2 ones, hehehe.

    Kak Emily,
    Luckily lah it's easy to get strawberries kan, much easier and cheaper to get than those 'other things', hehehe....

    Mak Imma,
    :-D, memang itu niat I, hehehe

    Deqlis,
    Salam Ramadhan. Bila colorful mcm tu, lagilah terus terasa nak makan kan :-)

    Ticer Syah,
    thank you :-)

    Shiera,
    Cherries ni kalau dpt yg sweet and flavoursome, memang sedap sgt2. But ada sesetengah yg rasa bland and not that sweet.

    Kak Zai,
    Dried kiwi I tak pernah jumpa pulak kat sini sbb slalunya beli yg fresh aje :-).

    Ate,
    Lebih kurang sini jugak lah kan klu convert. Tapi klu tak convert duit, murah sgt2 lah kat sini :-)

    Rima,
    Amin...Hopefully our Ramadhan this year is more productive than last year :-)

    Maz,
    I ni dah duduk Perth bertahun2, still tak pernah lagi pergi strawberry picking kat Wanneroo tu. Kalau kat Adeliade dulu, biasalah I. nanti kena pergi jugaklah 1 day :-).
