Ramadan and viral dates in 2024

Posted in Food and Drinks, Good Things by

I received my usual Kurma box from one of my best buddies – Mimie last week and I was thrilled. Ever since she made this an ‘annual gift’ I have stopped buying kurma for myself because the ones she got me are much more delicious. She is one of the people in my duas and I pray that she will be rewarded greatly for giving food to people who are breaking fast.

Kurma has been getting a lot of attention nowadays. It has gone viral in Malaysia for Kurma Butter and in the international scene, content creators are making Kurma Barks. Mr Husband tried out the Kurma Butter and he seemed to love it. I, on the other hand, am consuming Kurma with Pistachio spread. I believe that Kurma paired with any nut-based spread will Insya-Allah taste nice including peanut butter.

I bought this Pistachio spread from Shopee. Back then, I was simply craving for it but I did not want to get the sweet ones from the bakery store or from Llao Llao. It’s a local brand Love Earth and the price is RM29.90 for 175g. 1 TBS is 93.6kcal with 1.17g of sugar. I tend to use only half of TBS for my Kurma and take only 1. I am still on my calorie deficit programme but I needed to fulfil part of my cravings for sugar.

I am planning to make a Kurma Bark later, probably towards Eid as I still have lots of other desserts to finish in the fridge. Ramadan Kareem everyone.

Sweet and colourful delights

Rainbow bread is a vibrant and colourful type of bread created by adding food colouring to the dough. It features a swirl of bright hues, resembling a rainbow. Popular for celebrations, it can be made with different bread types and enjoyed as a novelty treat or for making sandwiches. Rainbow bread has gained popularity through social media for its visually appealing and playful nature.

I bought my rainbow bread from the Family Store because my daughter loves the colours. I finished the whole loaf before it expired because she just wanted two slices for the week. I had it with pistachio cashew spread I bought from Shopee - it is a brand called Love Earth Organic. This is ahem, a Malaysian brand. I also got a bottle of mushroom seasoning and coconut sugar from the online store. I use the seasoning in my fried rice and dishes with soup. More often in Chinese inspired recipes. As for the coconut sugar, I would use it in my coffee.

Coconut sugar is said to have a lower glycaemic index compared to refined sugar. This means that there will be a slow and more gradual rise in blood sugar levels making it a favourable option for people with diabetes or wanting to go on a calorie deficit diet. It also has nutrients like iron, zinc and calcium. I personally love the rich, caramel-like flavour with a hint of coconut to it. This adds on the unique taste to my coffee.
