Bazaar Ramadhan Recipe Courtesy of Makan Kitchen: Bubur Lambuk

I have to say, Bubur Lambuk is a dish that is hard to forget its taste. I can still remember how fragrant the beef rice congee (porridge) was peppered with rich spices such as corriander, cinnamon, cardamon, star anise and cloves. Simple ingredients but the combination of them is so flavourful!

I had my first taste of Bubur Lambuk during the month of Ramadhan some years back. One of my Muslim colleague queued for the famous Bubur Lambuk distributed by Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru. Back then, the Bubur Lambuk from this mosque has yet to gain it's royal status (by the late Sultan Salahuddin of Selangor) but we knew it was already famous when my Muslim colleagues were raving about it. My colleague brought back a few packets and generously shared with us. Even though I had very little of it as it was meant to for a taste amongst the non-Muslims but the flavours were etched in my memory. We have tasted it at Tupai Tupai Restaurant and Cafe but it just wasn't the same.

Since now that I have the recipe by Chef Fazli of Makan Kitchen, I can't wait to give this recipe a go!
