Final touch! Ready to serve . I am so happy to serve the people who are fasting for the Ramadan. Respect their culture and tradition. The Holiness of the Ramadan that I been observed for 23 years. I served them with foods they want . There are so many kind of delicious food aside from this recipe. My employer don't allow me to take a picture the whole setting . Anyway, they are also eating on the floor and not on the table. Eating while sitting down on the floor is a big respect to God/Allah who give all the blessings/food and water .

This is all for today. I hope that you like my food blog today.

Thank you for reading and with your support.

Steem On!
