GEORGE TOWN: When the day is done, Ramadan bazaar traders here would get into a friendly barter with other vendors, sampling each other’s delights. From kuih and sweet drinks to savoury treats, the traders would swap their specialties before calling it a day. They say the simple gesture not only allows them to taste each other’s cooking, but also helps avoid food wastage. In return, neighbouring vendors often offer him their food. Yusriza also makes sure neighbouring traders have something to take home at the end of the day.
