Hafiz and the Raya Recipes

Hafiz is disappointed because his parents will not be home in time for Hari Raya. He and his siblings decide to cook for their own Hari Raya feast, with their favourite dishes like ikan bakar and ayam goreng, and to invite their relatives and friends. They ask their Nenek – their grandmother – to show them how to cook, but because she cooks by sight, touch and taste, she suggests that they look for her recipes that are “somewhere around the place... stored in an old suitcase”. Hafiz manages to find the suitcase and he and his siblings are able to cook their favourite dishes for Hari Raya.
