17th September 2009, Thursday --Yesterday, I went to a bersungkai (breaking the fast) gathering with the others BFFers that was held at Aiana Restaurant, Melabau Complex, Berakas. The restaurant is located very near to Serusop Mosque. The sungkai buffet at the restaurant is very affordable at BND6.90 per adult.

I have a Sungkai buffet together with my family at Nyonya Restaurant (Serusop Branch) on 27th September 2008. The buffet (which include the dim sum) costs us BND12.80 per adult and BND7.80 per child (under 12 years old).

p/s; This is my first time eating Sungkai buffet as I am not fond of eating buffet to break the fast. My stomach can easily get full when breaking the fast, at the first plate (according my standard size serving). But, when somebody treat me, it is difficult for me to say “no”. And, I felt it is ‘rugi’ (a loss) if I do not eat/try all the menu that have been served on the buffet table.

Half hour before breaking the fast, I do some photographic activity at the dining table, at patio, and at my room. My daughter is also taking photos with me. I am using my Canon EOS 350D DSLR with the kit lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5-6) while my daughter is using her mother camera, the Sony Cybershot w130 compact camera.

My 4 years old daughter is also interested in taking photos

In that day, we eat noodle soup (my mother-in-law recipe) a.k.a soto during the breaking the fast. The following are some of the ingredients that are served:

The bowls to serve the soto The "sambal" which consists of the soya bean sauce, small red chilli, and red onion.
The calamasi a.k.a limau kasturi
The fried red onions
The bean sprout a.k.a tauge
The boiled eggs

After taking some photos at the dining table, I go outside to take photos of the ayer muleh (the famous design among the Brunei's traditional cloth design) decoration of the railing at the patio. The following is what I get:

Then, I go to my room and take the Kurma Kurnia (the Mabroom dates contributed by His Majesty in conjunction with the Ramadan). I put the white A4 paper in front of the built-in flash to soften the light. Then, I get better photos of the dates when compare to the photos that I have taken with no white A4 paper is put in front of the flash:

In addition, I do take photos of my paper punch, but without using the flash. I use the flourescent table lamp and ISo 1600 setting.
