Taufufah is very famous in Malaysia. It's a southern chinese dessert. You can find Halal Taufufah in every single town in Malaysia, especially in Nightmarkets or Ramadhan Bazaars.

People usually have Taufufah in the evening.

Actually there are two options, the dark ones is made from palm sugar and the white ones is made from the usual sugar.

In Penang, they'll ask you... "hitam" (black) or "putih" (white), and they'll scoop the soya beancurd freshly from the bucket.

In KL, the taufufah is already being put in the tupperwares and I've seen they put both "hitam" and "putih".
 
Sob7an Allah.. how vaired are foods across the globe.. I have tried several ethnic foods.. sadly I can never tell what I am eating or even how to pronounce it unless accompanied by a friend from that region to explain it all..
I liked this indian hors d'oeuvre my friend introduced me too.. it has chick peas and crackers and white sauce very tangy and really yummy... I don't remember its name sadly =( If someone has any idea what it is and its recipe I'd be grateful ( not that I ever cook anyway) but it would be nice to look at it and swoon :p
 
My Daughter should return from Dallas in a week or so. I am saving all of these pics to show her what to cook.

The Taufufah looks fabulous. I also believe my limited diet will permit me having it. Very little solid foods I can eat any more.

In searching for a recipe for Taufufah, I found this site. I believe that is all in Urdu. some of the words look familiar. My Daughter is fluent in Urdu, so I'll let her worry about it.

A few pictures of good stuff from that site. I may not be able to eat most of them, but I can enjoy the pictures.

Woodrow the first picture is Samosa it is from middle east. You can find the recipe in the cookery club thread.

the second one is karipap (from the name curry puff). The filling can be sardine, potatoes, thick chicken curry or etc. But you have to fry it. Kinda oily though :D

i think the 3rd one is rice with side dishes. Roasted chicken and mixed fried vegetables (I've the recipe...is very easy) Most Malaysian food is fried something something... lol :D

The Samosa's are what made me think the site was in Urdu, although transliterated into the English Alphabet. My daughter makes them often. They were one of the few things I recognized. LOL

Can you guess I speak neither Urdu nor Malay.:happy:

Oddly all my Daughter and her family speak at home is Urdu, and even after living with them over a year, I still have not picked any of it up. But, I do know the important words Like Samosa, Kemah and Bryani.

Can't wait to see your daughter's home made food :happy:
 
I just realized that although I will not have any pictures of home made food I can post some traditional Ramadan Food pictures from various countries I have lived in.

My favorite will always be Morocco:



Honey dipped Briouates stuffed with Almond Paste

Tagine, also spelled tajine, is an historically Berber dish. It is a stew made of meats and vegetables and traditionally cooked in a conical clay pot to allow the steam to rise, condense and drip back down to the stew. Tagines are traditionally prepared on top of a portable clay majmar (much cheaper than a stove!) under which people put hot coals. Practically anything can be turned into a tajine: meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and some even make it with meat and fruits. Some typical tagine dishes include lamb with dates, lamb with raisins or prunes and almonds, chicken with olives and preserved lemon, chicken with dried apricots, and meatballs (or ketfa) with tomatoes and eggs. Of course, there exist more varieties than this. Every part of the country has its regional tagine dish and different ways of preparing it. Because this meal takes a long time to prepare, the woman of the house starts preparing the lunch tagine as soon as breakfast is over.
