Eid-ul Adha in Malaysia.
We are so happy to be celebrating Hari Raya Haji with all our bungkusit users. This is such an auspicious time for all Muslims around the world. We are so glad to be celebrating it with them.�Eid-ul Adha commemorates the day when the Prophet Ibrahim �sacrificed� his son, Ismail, in an act of obedience towards Allah. This day also signifies the end of the Hajj season, when thousands of Malaysians flock to Mecca each year to perform the Hajj. In Malaysia, Eid-ul Adha is a low-key affair compared to Eid-ul Fitr, but celebrated nationwide with much appreciation nevertheless.
In the morning, Malaysians flock to the mosque to perform Eid prayers. After the
prayers, the menfolk congregate at the mosques for the sacrificial ceremony, in which four-legged livestock (typically cattle and goats in Malaysia) donated by those who can afford it are slaughtered as a symbol of sacrifice to Allah. The meat is then distributed to the poor and the needy.
During this time families are getting together and enjoying varieties of local food. It can get really busy and hectic at times. Don’t fret as bungkusit is here to deliver some of your favorite foods to your doorsteps. We understand that things get hectic during holidays and we are happy to help out.
Some Favourite Local Dishes to order during Eid
Seunding
Serunding is essentially the�Malaysian version of meat floss! A popular snack for Ramadan and Aidilfitri, serunding is made of seasoned meat that�s cooked until dry, a method meant to help keep the meat for longer.
Ketupat
Famously chosen as the symbol for Hari Raya, the ketupat is made of rice boiled in a diamond-shaped pack of handwoven palm leaf strips. Once cooked, the ketupat is peeled open, cut into slices, and served in place of regular steamed rice with other dishes.
Rendang

It�s everybody�s favourite Raya dish!�Rendang�is a thick, savoury gravy usually cooked with beef, though any meat can be used.�It is served either wet or dry, and is also known for its natural preserving properties due to the antimicrobial spices used in the dish.
