Raya @ Egypt

This was my first time celebrating raya in overseas. Yeah, when we live in other country, then we will appreciate the raya atmosphere in Malaysia. Its quite different here. But still. it was a wonderful experience for me. This year, since there is no lemang, my mom decided to make satay. If before, when we were back then living in Kerteh, we always depends on Pak cik Satay besides the road near the Esso Petrol station. I'm so proud of her because it was her very first attempt but yet it taste really good! So here are some pictures of us preparing the satay.

Satay without Kuah kacang? Cannot!

And voila! The final product

Doesn't it look yummy? It took us the whole night to prepare it. Phewh... we never thought making satay would be this hard. I mean its not that hard, The ingredients are simple. However, its requires many steps in making it. Starting from cleaning the chicken and take the bones out until grilled it on the fire! Its a lot of work~ Now, every time we want to go and buy satay in Malaysia, I'm sure all of us will appreciate the hardness of the people who made it.

Worth every penny....

P/s: Mama got the recipes from the Internet. Its a new way to be an instant chef I see~
