"Kedah (also known by its Arabic honorific, Darul Aman, or "Abode of Peace") is a state of Malaysia, located in the northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The state covers a total area of over 9,000 km�, and it consists of the mainland and Langkawi. The mainland has relatively flat terrain, which is used to grow rice. Langkawi is an archipelago of islands, most of which are uninhabited. Kedah was called Syburi by the Siamese when it was under their influence. Kedah borders the state of Perlis and shares an international boundary with the Songkhla and Yala provinces of Thailand to the north. It also borders the state of Perak to the south and Penang to the southwest. The state's capital and royal seat is Alor Setar. Other major towns include Sungai Petani, and Kulim on the mainland, and Kuah on Langkawi. Kedah is divided into 12 districts namely Baling, Bandar Baharu, Kota Setar, Kuala Muda, Kubang Pasu, Kulim, Langkawi, Pokok Sena, Padang Terap, Pendang, Sik and Yan."
Went back to Lorong Menteri 2, Alor Setar for kenduri tahlil. When the Wan's gathers it only meant one thing glorious food and also the nice feeling of being around your loved ones.
Late lunch before reaching Alor Setar : Mee Udang and air kelapa at Sungai Dua. Just perfect to warm up the tummy [for more food] and cool down the body due to the heat.
Dinner - The most awaited food [for me, at least] - Murtabak. And the Wan's really loved this dadih.
Breakfast at kopitiam which serves all kinds of food under one roof. The whole lot of us went there and ordered all kind of food ranging from roti canai, nasi lemak, sausages, omelettes, roti jala, cucur udang and lots more.
Must work after the heavy breakfast. Gearing up for the tahlil lead by Pakcik Zubir followed by the ever ready young boys.
Lunch - The after tahlil food. Delicious and abundance of food.
A time where all the golden age relatives sits and talks.
A time where aunty,uncle,niece and nephew sits down and talks like there is no more tomorrow. [and of course, lots of picture takings]
And the young cousins had a joy time - goofing around with each other at Tok's place.
And dinner (yes, after the kenduri tahlil) - we headed to D'Perindu for rounds and rounds of ikan bakar, sotong tepung and lots more. 4 big round tables, full of the Wan's family.
And that wraps up the trip to Lorong Menteri 2. A long weekend well spent.
ps : To my beloved relatives - There are more pictures as I cant load 'em all up. I would put 'em on display once we gather up again.
