And so this blessed month comes to an end. I did not expect Monday to be Eid and was preparing for Tuesday so needless to say am completely caught off guard this year as I'm sure are many of you as well. So for those who will be frantically baking and preparing into the night I wish you much strength and forbearance. May all your efforts be well appreciated by your loved ones tomorrow.

Mezbaan Eid Special 2014

Posted: 20 Jul 2014 02:45 PM PDT

I found myself in the mall this afternoon thinking I'd head there for a stroll and a bit of window shopping. I was met by a frenzy of Eid shoppers, all vying for new clothes, new shoes and most likely getting in early on the food shopping needed for all the baking that will be happening this week. Eid is one week away which means this blessed month comes to an end. A bittersweet time as the spirit of the month will dwindle and come to an end and a collective, slightly guilty sigh of relief for some as normal eating habits and other indulgences resume.

If you're in the mood for something different this Eid why not celebrate Eid in style at the elegant Mezbaan at the Hilton Hotel.

Boeber Night

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 08:12 AM PDT

The 15th of Ramadaan heralds the middle of the fast and the eagerly awaited Boeber night. A Cape Town tradition that may have made it further north in South Africa. In truth, Indian Muslims in Cape Town have been having boeber since the beginning of the month (is that cheating?).

The tradition of making Boeber, a rich, creamy milky drink with vermicilli, sago, cardomon and cinnamon on the 15th night of Ramadaan and thereafter is rooted in the Malay community of Cape Town, the recipe for which was drawn from their Javanese and Indonesian ties. Where ever it originally came from, we in Cape Town have certainly adopted it as our own. The Indian Koknis in Cape Town for instance have there own name for it. It's called pez, kind of pronounced as pears. But basically the same dish. Some add rose water, some add almonds or pistachios. However you like it, make it your own. See below for a traditional Malay recipe.
