“Ramadhan here is pretty much like any other day. There's no difference to me because I don't turn on the radio, I don't know what channel would even have the azan for Maghrib. Sometimes I'd listen in to Warna when I missed hearing the azan back home.
I have a couple of other muslim colleagues, so in the past I'd go over to their house because he loves to cook up a feast. I love his food! After that we'd listen to Siti Nurhaliza for some of the Southeast Asia Malay raya vibes. He moved to another city now because this industry is so transitional. Good times!
Over here, I don’t usually wake up for sahur as it's quite tough for me to manage my work schedule, but I'm trying to sort it out and make time for sahur because it's much more ideal.
For iftar, I have the dates that my mom sends me from Singapore - she'd put almonds into our dates. Then I’ll go onto the food delivery app, either meituan or e le me (which is directly translated to ‘are you hungry’) and see what I fancy eating for the day. So this ranges from Xinjiang noodles with chicken pieces, dumplings, tu dou fen (like potato noodles), hamburgers, chicken wraps, salmon pizza, cheese pizza, sushi and sashimi, variations of pasta, squid bibimbap, hot pot, McDonald's, Burger King, the list goes on!"
