During the month of Ramadan, the first thing my Muslim staff do when they break fast is to consume sweet beverage and food before proceeding to take their main course.
每逢家中的回教女佣守斋戒月时，都会在吃开斋饭的前刻以甜食及饮料为先然后才开餐吃主食。
This soft and chewy donuts are specially made for them during one of the days when they break their fasting.
我特别做了这批外脆内Q软的甜薯球让她们作为当天的开斋甜品。
