My daughter’s school provide snacks for their mid-morning break so I packed her only some biscuits in case she did not want what was offered. But last week she requested that I packed her some cooked food – like some of her friends and I thought it was a good chance to use this pretty container we bought from Jakarta.
On the subject of mid-morning break, she told me that her Muslim friends are all fasting – and asked me what it meant and why they needed to do it.
After my explanation, I told her to be considerate to them by not showing off her food, like kids like to do sometimes.
Speaking of fasting, probably the most looked forward to advertisement the whole of this month is the list of breaking of fast, or Sungkai as we call it here, offers from most of the restaurants in the country. Maurina who pain-stakingly compiled another list of all the Sungkai offers in the country, thinks that Bruneians love these Sungkai offers. I think that’s because we get the best deal here – most other reputable eateries in other countries charge at least double what we get here.
Just imagine, the most exclusive hotel’s restaurant in the country offers a Sungkai Buffet of only $28 – that’s around RM68.
Even for us non-Muslim, this is also the month to indulge in eating out and eating-all-we-can : quite frankly the best month to visit Brunei for food-lovers. The problem with us who feast without fasting is that while they eat to fill empty stomachs, we eat to fatten full stomachs – so do yourself a favour and read more on colon cleansing reviews after that round of Sungkais.
