Any time can be the perfect time for dessert! So for Day 11 of my Ramadan 2023 Series, here’s a little something for all you sweet tooths out there — the strawberry sando!

FamilyMart Strawberry Sando

Whenever I set eyes on this sandwich, or think about making it, I’m always reminded of my family back in Malaysia. One of my nieces is a huge strawberry sando lover. It’s probably her most favorite thing ever! Especially the ones that are from FamilyMart (a Japanese convenience store). She can go through multiple of those in one go.

But it’s actually pretty easy to make at home. It requires only a handful of ingredients, and you’ll get to enjoy them in no time.

what is strawberry sando?

Strawberry sando, also known as “ichigo sando”, is a Japanese strawberry sandwich. It’s made by layering sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberries between two pieces of Japenese milk bread, called “shokupan”.

Some of you might be weirded out by the notion of a sweet sandwich. However, let me tell you, with the soft milk bread, the light texture of the whipped cream, and the sweetness from the strawberries — the combination just works really well!

It’s a bit like a twist on the strawberry shortcake. But instead of spongecakes, we use milk bread!

what fruit is best for sandos?

You can make a Japanese fruit sandwich with other fruits besides strawberries. Some popular options are oranges and kiwis. But in general, you can use any fresh fruits that are in season and can hold up its shape.

  1. Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries, making sure to completely cover the strawberries. Add a slice of milk bread on top and smooth out the sides, making sure to not press down on the sando too much.
  2. Wrap the sando tighly with the plastic wrap. Optional step: Draw a line on top according to the direction of the diagonal line of strawberries so you don’t forget the direction to cut the sando. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for at least 15 minutes.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
