Alrighty then… First and foremost, being late as usual, I would like to wish Muslims all over the world (especially in Malaysia) a blessed Ramadhan. Now that we have completed half of the journey, most Muslims in Malaysia already started their preparation to celebrate the upcoming Aidilfitri.

I know it’s a good thing to have a new set of attire for the celebration but I’ve already have more than 20pairs of ‘baju kurung’ and ‘baju kebaya’, all in very good condition. So, I’m not going to buy any new clothes for Aidilfitri. See? I am happy wearing my current traditional attire…. Unlike some people… That just have to buy traditional clothes EVERY YEAR despite the old ones are still in good condition. *evil grin*

Anyway, one thing all of us have to buy every year is….. Fresh supplies of Raya cookies. Eons ago, my family would have the most agonizing experience to either:-
1- Find and buy good Raya cookies or
2- Try to make them ourselves.

Since the past couple of years, all our misery is no longer haunting us! Thanks to IKEA Malaysia, we have no problem when it comes to good and tasty Raya cookies anymore. OK, below are some of the Raya cookies that being sold in IKEA Malaysia that we have QC-ed and passed with flying colours!

Pineapple tarts

All-Malaysian favourite, the pineapple tarts. Don’t be fooled by the simple look of these babies. They tastes good. Now, if only it comes with macadamia nuts, then it would be perfecto!

Butter Semperit

Behold the mother of Raya cookies in Malaysia, butter semperit. This cookies got the highest level of approval from my family and declared THE BEST SEMPERIT in our modern society. It tastes heavenly (seriously, I can’t describe it) and it’s not too brittle or too hard. It reminded me of the same semperit made by our elders in kampungs (heck, perhaps even better). Based on the ingredients, this butter semperit would be the perfect cookies to be served to your non-Muslim vegetarian friends (correct me if I’m wrong ya) that come and visit you during Aidilfitri.

Chocolate Hazelnut

Now here is something a little modern. This year is the first time we bought this chocolate hazelnut and was kinda skeptical in the first place. After buying and tried the first box, we actually went to IKEA Malaysia again to buy more of these. It tastes like Ferrero Rocher chocolate but without the melted chocolate around it. I would say this would be a perfect treat to kids (and chocoholics too).

Here’s the thing… From what I heard from my parents, who went to IKEA Malaysia (again) last weekend, these delicious cookies are running out…. FAST. So you guys better hurry up and at least grab a box of each just to try it out… *big grin*. Oh ya, did I tell you that each box only costs RM10? *wink*

P/S: Dang, IKEA Malaysia should really give me a commission for this… Perhaps another 10boxes of each cookies?! XD
