Spicy grilled cockles a hit during Ramadan

EVERY day during this month of Ramadan, a lot of people visit the Ramadan bazaar at the Darul Aman Stadium open area in Alor Setar, Kedah.

One of the most popular stalls is operated by brothers Taufiq Zainal Abidin, 26, and Firdaus, 25, who sell spicy grilled cockles.

The siblings have been selling their favourite dish for the past three years during Ramadan.

Taufiq and Firdaus buy 50kg of cockles daily from the wholesale market in Alor Star. They said the grilled cockles are usually sold out before 7pm.

On normal days for the past seven years, both brothers sell ‘otak-otak kukus’ made of mackerel near a shopping mall in Jitra, Kedah.
