For Muslims worldwide, including 600,000 followers of Islam in Australia, the fasting month of Ramadan begins on Saturday 2 April. And for the first time since COVID-19 hit, families can celebrate free of pandemic restrictions.
Md. Masum Alam was busy putting the finishing touches to his Sydney burger bar this week, hanging Ramadan decorations and festive posters.“However, it has been very tough for everyone in the world because of this pandemic.”
“We have increased staff in the evenings to cope with the rush of orders coming in, mostly for deliveries.” “I love challenge because I was the lowest man in the kitchen. I had to get on the top of the profession. So that was a challenge to learn and become a qualified chef,” he says.His ambition now is to celebrate with family and share Halal food with his customers.A month of festivities is also underway in Sydney’s Liverpool, where the Bearded Bakers are running their famous Knafeh food truck.
“We are going to be baking and shaking Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights for the month of April. And we are looking forward to bringing some joy to people.”
