"My family and I decided to bungkus some beef kuey teow from Homst. I'd say for halal Chinese food, it's pretty decent, and they're very generous with the portion. We also had sotong goreng, as well as some cincau to wash it all down. That's all we had, didn't want to fall into the food waste trap like we sometimes did last year."

- Dan, 30

5. "I balik kampung to be with my family for the first day of Ramadan"
