How to make Beef Rendang & Easy Lemang - The most delicious must-eat for Hari Raya! 🌙✨✨✨

SALAM AIDILFITRI, EID MUBARAK! 🌙✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Besides the joy of visiting friends on Hari Raya day, one of our favourite childhood memories of Ramadan season is the sight of roadside lemang sellers along many main roads in Malaysia. We particularly remember the journey up to Genting Highlands where rows and rows of smoky bamboo stuffed with glutinous rice was a sure sign that Hari Raya was fast approaching. We were always compelled to make a stop to buy some of the rendang and lemang. Our mum, Anne has always made amazing chicken and beef rendang herself as she picked up great recipes and tips from her Malay friends decades ago. However lemang cooked the traditional way, in hollowed out bamboo, was certainly a special treat for us!
We hope you enjoy our special Aidilfitri video of Anne’s Beef Rendang and Easy Lemang (which is almost as good as the bamboo one). Definitely a Hari Raya must-eat for many of us!
Wishing all our Muslim friends & family Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir dan Batin. May you and your loved ones be blessed with peace and happiness.
