Night Market

Just before Aidilfitri (the Malaysian name for holiday after fasting - Ramadan) I went with a friend for a night market in Ipoh. There is a lot of scarves and traditional Malaysian clothes for reasonable and negotiable price. One can get there also foot massage, shoes, accessories and more.

I've got in my opinion very beautiful scarf for just 15 MYR (5 USD).


It was the last day of Ramadan so me and my friend went also to mamak stall (The Malaysian Mamak are Tamil Muslims of malaysian nationality, the word 'Mamak' is from Tamil term for maternal uncle, but in malaysia is also used for auntie). I got a cup of teh (tea) and roti tissue - crispy pancake with melted sugar inside and poured with condensed milk - MNIAM!

Brooch

Brooches are not as popular in Europe (for sure in Poland or Denmark) or in US as they are in Malaysia. 
Here women cover their hair with beautiful scarves and fix them with brooches.

I really like them and I got a set of them from my Malay friend.


  I use those brooches to decorate my cardigans or as an extra button to my shirts that have too deep cut.

When there is 35 degrees Celsius and 80% of humidity tight clothes on stressful day may bring only extra worry, so I picked natural fabrics and loose fit for an official presentation of my project at the university.
