Marhaban yaa Ramadan..

Due to the advent of the holy month called Ramadan, i would like to discuss what the food for break the fast in Bangladesh.
Ramadan become a celebration that is important to people of Bangladesh because in this month, they could be meet and gather with their family.

Food 

Jalebi
 
There is a food called Jalebi (a kind of sweetmeat) in Bangladesh which is become popular when Ramadan has come.
It is made by deep-frying a wheat flour (maida flour) batter in pretzel or circular shapes, which are then soaked in sugar syrup.

Jalebi often sold at the market before break the fast, it seems like to replace a korma for Bangladesh people. But it's still a kind of light meal for a break the fast.

Drink

Unfortunately, Bangladesh doesn't have any unique beverages, but in this occasion, i would like to introduce the unique beverages name from Bangladesh.

There are various types of drink. Mojo is the brand name of cola, Lemu is the brand name of Lemon and Speed is the brand name of energy drink. Immediately after the introduction of the brand it became very popular among its consumer because of the high quality and intensive distribution in every nook and corner of the country. Take a look to this picture below for the example.
