Bubur lambuk

(Scattered Porridge, Ramadan Porridge)

Malaysians prefer to break the fast with sweet and soft food which won't strain their stomach, so they traditionally prepare bubur lambuk – a dish that can be literally translated as scattered porridge, referring to the fact that it's made by throwing the ingredients into a single pot.


At most mosques, it is given to people free of charge during the holy month of Ramadan. The porridge is usually made with meat, onions, garlic, shrimps, coconut oil, pandan leaves, and seven spices: cloves, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, aniseed, fenugreek, and star anise.
