Id Al-Adha (Arabic: ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) or “Festival of Sacrifice” or “Greater Eid” is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isma’il) as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a ram to sacrifice instead. The meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbours, and the other third is given to the poor & needy.
The significance of Abraham’s preparedness to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience & faith to God, leads to exemplify the universal need to sacrifice for a cause. Any Just Cause. All over the World.
We salute everyone, who had sacrificed one way or another, small or big, active or passive, blood, sweat or tears in championing what you believe in. Much more sacrifice & efforts in the right direction will make a better World, socially, economically and judiciously.
Wishing everyone "Selamat Hari Raya Idul Adha, Maaf Zahir Batin".
Special warm regards to all Eno Group...
The Delicious Bamboo Rice in Malaysia
Before cooking...
After cooking...
Lemang is one of the heritage foods in Malaysia that is popular not only among the locals but also among foreigners and all races across Malaysia. The delicious lemang is made of glutinous rice that is cooked with coconut milk in hollowed bamboos. The rice is wrapped with banana leaves to prevent it from sticking to the bamboos.
The method of cooking lemang is actually originated from the Iban people, one of the indigenous people of Borneo Island. Lemang has been the official food identity of the state of Sarawak. This traditional food is a favorite during festivities like Hari Raya and Hari Gawai. Some lemang recipes add corn and some use a mix of white and black glutinous rice. Lemang is usually eaten with chicken curry or beef rendang and sometimes with grilled fish, durian or tapai.
Lemang (Bamboo Rice)
This dish of glutinous rice is cooked with coconut milk in hollowed bamboos lined with banana leaves – a method used by the indigenous people of Malaysia. The pandan leaves are usually added into the bamboo along with the banana leaves to add fragrance to the rice. A favorite during festivities like Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Aidil Adha and Hari Gawai, lemang is best eaten with chicken curry or beef rendang, and sometimes with grilled fish, durian or tapai.
Lemang can be found throughout Malaysia especially during the popular Muslim festival of Hari Raya Adilfitri and Adha which usually falls on early or end of the year. You can easily notice stalls along the road that cook and sell the lemang. It’s particularly popular in the Malay village where the lemang is available throughout the year.

In conclusion, lemang is a must-try heritage food for tourists especially expats. If you come across the stalls at the road side, do take a look at how this special traditional food is made and cooked.
