Mother's cooking when breaking the fast is always a moment that all family members look forward to. After a day of enduring hunger and thirst, eating a meal made with love by mother's hands feels very special. Every dish served not only fills an empty stomach, but also provides invaluable warmth and togetherness.
Mother always starts preparations in the afternoon, making sure all the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. The delicious aroma of cooking began to waft throughout the house, making the atmosphere even warmer. Typical foods such as compote, fried foods and various kinds of traditional cakes often make appetizing appetizer menus. Banana compote with thick and sweet coconut milk is a family favorite, providing the perfect touch of sweetness after a long day of fasting.
Not to forget, mother also always prepares delicious and nutritious main dishes. Fluffy white rice, accompanied by lodeh vegetables, rendang or fried chicken, is the perfect combination that pampers the taste buds. Sometimes, my mother also makes special dishes, such as oxtail soup or goat curry, which are only served on certain occasions. Every bite tastes delicious, not only because of the taste, but also because it is made with genuine love and care.
Apart from food, mothers also prepare fresh drinks such as fruit ice or sweet tea to complement the breaking fast meal. Each family member sits together at the dining table, sharing stories about the day's activities while enjoying a meal. This atmosphere of togetherness provides a deep sense of gratitude, reminding us how valuable the time spent with family is.
After breaking the fast, usually the mother will offer additional food or drink to family members, ensuring that everyone is full and satisfied. Mother's cooking when breaking the fast is not only about food, but also about love, togetherness, and family traditions that continue to be passed down. This moment always leaves a deep impression in the heart, making the month of Ramadan even more special.
