Open House, Open House & More Open House

Hi Folks...

Today is the third raya day in Doha. Yes, we celebrated Eid one day earlier than my home country, Malaysia..

Since it was rather unexpected, we did not plan for it. Originally, we planned to organise an open house on the first raya. We postponed it since we had not bought all the necessaries for the event. Seem everybody was taken by surprise in Doha. People filled up every supermarket in Doha rushing to buy things. We could feel that it was like a Declaration of Darurat or State or Emergency had just been announced!!!! phew.... We could also see the Arab ladies rushing around going into beauty saloons mainly to do some henna jobs on their hands.. It felt like every population of Doha was on the move that night..

First day of raya was a bit quiet for us. I went to the Embassy for solat Aidilfitri since it was held much later than any mosque in Doha. Over here, the mosques conducted the solat right after sunrise!!! Much too early for me..haha..

As for our open house, we made it on 2nd raya... The main menu were laksa Johor, nasi tomato & nasi impit (courtesy of Azerdills's family) with masak lodeh.....It was fun having friends around even at one point some of the guests had to sit next to door as our house was so full with guests.

Right after we received our final guests, ShahrinRG and family, we rushed to Rizal's house for his open house with nasi daging berlauk as main menu. Interestingly Yati also cooked bubur anak taugeh as dessert..hehe. Sorry, Yati The Chef..could not resist myself highlighting the delicious anak taugeh dessert...

Today will be Aizal's turn to organise his open house with satay as main menu...yummy!!!!!!! Hopefully he manages to find a bbq set.. else satay will only be a wild dream today..haha.
