17 August 2011: A friend of mine, of the Muslim faith, invited me over for Boeka/ Iftaar - that's when you break the fast. It was indeed an interesting learning experience for me. You start by eating a date with some water or apple juice (I had apple juice). Dates are really good - so sweet and somewhat chewey, and thereafter a spread of samoosas, pies, veggie soup, tuna oven bake, salad and for dessert - grava sponge cake nom nom nom. I especially enjoyed the Falooda - not really sure how to spell it but it's basically a mixture of milk, ice-cream, falooda pips and rosewater - some also add other spices and even nuts. It somehow reminded me on India... must be the rosewater. Overall, an enriching experience :)
