During Hari Raya Adilfitri Festival in Malaysia, people usually serve lots of traditional food for instead Rendang, Lemang and Kuih Raya.  It is the symbol of Raya actually as Raya would not be much happening without it.  These traditional foods are practiced by the late generation before and still apply in today’s customs.  As for Rendang, the origin comes from Minangkabau Indonesia, but it is popular in Malaysia.  Usually, people love to eat it together with Ketupat, another must dish to be serve during the festival.

Lemang is my family favourite dish actually and Raya would be a little bit gloomy without it.  Even my friends prefer Lemang if they come to my open house.  Lemang is sold during the year, but more broadly on the day of such feasts.  Lemang often served with shady or floss.  It is a culinary tradition that is liked by many.

As for Kuih raya, it is of course my favourite traditional cookies ever.  Kuih Raya is served as a side dish and however it is love by lots of people.  Lots of unique decoration created nowadays to attract the kids especially, but however it still maintain the customs of Aidilfitri raya in Malaysia.
