Consulate General of Malaysia - Eid Mubarak Open House

Consulate General of Malaysia - Eid Mubarak Open House

   Eid al-Fitr, a festival after Ramadan and Eid-al-Adha, is usually celebrated by a traditional Muslim greeting known as "Eid Mubarak" or "Blessed Eid". In the Islam tradition, "Eid" means celebration and "Mubarak" means blessed, which is literally translated to wishing friends a blessed holiday. 

   Councilor Mabel Sunga - Acosta was given an opportunity to attend an Eid Mubarak Open House by the invitation of  the Consulate General of Malaysia, Consul Mohd Jafri Mohd Sharif, at Ladislawa Garden Village, Buhangin, Davao City last July 8, 2017.

    The Malaysian culture is truly shared to their invited guests by serving them with mouth-watering Malaysian cuisines and delicacies like the Randang ( spicy beef dish cooked for 4 to 6 hours with coconut meat) which was prepared by the Consul General himself, Lamang ( Filipino counterpart of "Suman na Malagkit" traditionally cooked in a bamboo stem for hours), Chicken Kurma ( resembled chicken curry a lot but is a milder version), Sati ( a peanut sauce cuisine bathed with spicy but sweet taste), Tomato rice and other Malaysian food we're sure their beloved guests can't just help but loving them.

   Several Malaysian Consulate personalities welcomed us warmly and made sure that everyone felt as if they're at home. Truly, we shared Filipino traits with our Malaysian brothers and sisters though we may descend from different races and culture. Since Malaysia, like the Philippines, is a also a melting pot of Chinese, Indian and Malay cultures, we can always see each other as part of a bigger family.

The Davao City Recreation Center (Almendras Gym) was filled with fun activities along with yellow and brown balloons as Goldilocks celebrates it 50 Golden years of fruitfulness with the Filipinos.

The celebration was a caravan with Goldilocks going around the key cities of the country celebrate their biggest birthday bash. And Davao City was the last leg of the celebration, just as they say that "save the best for last."

The Davao leg caravan was attended by customers, employees, special guests and children from House of the Blind, their chosen charity, who obviously enjoyed the fun games, booths, entertainment and give-away.

During the birthday bash were magic shows, live performances and Showtime winner Kalokalike Vice Ganda, which gave smiles to all who attended.

Of course, the best part of every party is the food. Everyone enjoyed the free ice cream, cotton candy, and meals prepared for the attendees. Goldilocks desserts were also overflowing during meal time. 

Overall, Goldilocks is very thankful to all valued costumers who endlessly patronage their products through the years. Once again, Happy Birthday Goldilocks! Goldi good day :)
