As a child, Bella Kamaruddin Jeunehomme remembers her grandmother waking her up early during the fasting month to make all sorts of traditional cookies for Eid.

“Every morning during Ramadan she would wake us up and we would end up staying in the kitchen till late making all sorts of cookies. She loved to make roti paung as well, a must-have buttery brioche kind of bread,” shared Bella via email.
