1st Day Raya




1st day of raya is  always the day I am always looking forward.  Not only its a day that the whole family gather around at my parents' house for a reunion of sort, I also get the opportunity to get invited to the palace to meet and greet hari raya wishes to our beloved sultan and his family in a rather joyous settings with all the good food and the best chocolates and cakes you can ever imagine.  I always look forward to this because I could sample the fresh lobsters and huge alaskan crabs and many more. yummy..but as I always I couldnt eat that much as I would normally spend more time giving hari raya greetings to everyone. And the one thing I am sure the guests are looking forward to is probably the Raya souvenir. This year, I have to say the Raya souvenir is really pretty. I am told the palace souvenir was designed wholly inhouse. wow! my hats off to them. Inside it, there is a fruit cake laced with sweet white chocolate coating all produced by the Istana kitchen, Hyatt.
