Fasting month at Tharjath...

Ramadhan Al Mubarak is coming, the month of fasting, the month where Muslim extending their practice to Allah. Muslim God SWT. It was challenging to have a fasting period in here. The temperature could be 28 deg C in the morning and goes up to 38 deg C in the afternoon. For approximately 12 hours drinking and eating are prohibited stating from dawn to sunset. According to a doctor, the digestion period for a normal people is 12 hours, about the same to a fasting period. No harm to the people and good for a stomach too. Imagine working in this kind of temperature without water and food during fasting month, imagine the thirsty and empty stomach. It was once a while in Malaysia reaching the highest degree of temperature but humidity is the different bettween here. It was hot and dry, your laundry can be dried in 3 hours. Allhamdulillah Most of us are fasting lke no different. All those thing mentions above is to attract readers in this kind of writing.

Lucky me to have the same crew with Hj Saidi A Ghani, Khairuddin M Kassim, Hj Azman, Ravi Kumbong, Amit Som and Hj Fadhilah to names few. All of them take a very good play to organise and cook something for break fasting(bukak Puasa).
Hj Saidi- Chef One form Hilton
Khairuddin- Bibik
Hj Azman-Special appearance chef from Park Royal Trengganu
Ravi-Utility services and hygiene coordinator
Rosli Jamaluddin- Material coordinator
Amit Som- Good Tester and veteran cook from Sarawak River View
Hj Fadhilah- Tradisional food coordinator, sambal belacan specialist
Me- Bibik and second cook, Thai's food, Kelantan delight.

4:30 I will fetch Hj saidi provided of his free time from duty
4:40 Khairuddin will arrive and clean all the stuff left during sahur.
4:45 Khairuddin prepare all the cooking stuff while Hj Saidi prepare the hot plate and some light food.
5:00 Hj Saidi finished 2 main meal.
5:05 I finished 1 extra meal
5:06 Hj Saidi thinking of another meal.
5: 10 Rice cooked by Khairuddin.
5:30 Ravi arrived and clean/vacuum the floor.
5:45 Nizam the water boy arrives and boil tea or coffee.
6:00 Amit and pineapples arrived.
6:01 Hj Azman And Keropok Arrived.
6:30 Most of us are waiting at Malaysia Hall.
6: 45 Special extra pineapples from Amit ready to roll out.
6: 48 Drinks served
6: 50 Keropok Served
7: 00 Ad Doa from Hj Azman or Hj Fadhilah.
7:05 Eating time.

The charges of the food basically depends on the menu, usually 3 main course and 4 additional side dish offered at Malaysia Hall Tharjah during fasting months. Everybody brought their own raw material to lower down the cost of the buffet. Everybody's seem to enjoy the food served on eve

I used to address Hj Saidi as Chef from Hilton because of the food serve by him was very nice, tasteful and wonderful. I bet that he was a good chef at home too.



The cost of the food?
FREE but limited to 1 extra additional rice....
