Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a special time for Muslims in Singapore and around the world. It marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting and reflection. After a month of discipline, Hari Raya is all about celebration, family, and of course — delicious food.

The natural sweetness of gula melaka makes them a special treat that stands out from other cookies. They are a great way to add a traditional local flavour to your Hari Raya snack spread.
