Selamat Hari Raya everyone! Hope you guys had a good time with friends and family.
This year, we had the privilege of cooking for a young delivery rider whose dream is to save up enough money for his mom’s umrah (im not crying, u are) – so we offered to make him a nostalgic Nasi goreng kampung for Iftar.
