What is Deepavali




Deepavali or as its sometimes called “Diwali” or “Festival of Lights” falls in the seventh month of the Hindu lunar calendar, which is usually in either October or November. This year Deepavali will fall on the 13th November 2012. There are various versions on how this festival came about. Here in Malaysia, Deepavali is celebrated as the day when the evil Narakasura was slain by Lord Krishna. The triumph of good (light) over evil (evil).


Deepavali Decoration and Preparation

As with most festivals in Malaysia, the eve is usually busy with last-minute preparations for the big day. The house is spring cleaned and new curtains are put up. At the main doorway, they put Mango leaves to bring blessings into the home. In line with its Festival of Lights theme, the entire house is lit with oil lamp filling up the ambience with a warm and soft glow. A unique decoration which is only found on Deepavali day and with no other festivals in Malaysia is the “Kolam”. “Kolam” is a decorative art using rice grains and food colouring drawn on the floor. The designs are so beautiful that even major shopping mall and hotels are put huge beautifully design “Kolam” in their lobby. On Deepavali morning, many Hindu devotees awaken before sunrise for the ritual oil bath. This ritual bath is known as “ganga-snanam” and its done to cleanse ones impurities of the past year. Then it’s straight to the temples where prayers are held in accordance with the ceremonial rites.

Deepavalli Food

It was a beautiful Morning Walk in PD Waterfront as the weather was great today. PD Water front is a beachfront development in Port Dickson Town. Its a nice place to walk and in the mornings, there are people jogging or walking. 

Along the road there is a bank and little food shops like PappaRich, Domino Pizza, King's Bakery and many more. At night on weekend PD Waterfront comes alive with little stalls selling or renting out items to make soap bubbles. So there will be alot of kids and even adults playing soap bubbles.

Medan Ikan Bakar MPPD Port Dickson is our go to place for affordable seafood. There are three different restaurant at the Medan Ikan Bakar. Our favourite restaurant is the Restoran Nelayan . We found that the seafood is slightly cheaper than the other two. Its my opinion only. Survey yourself.

We normally take a siakap. One half is cooked tiga rasa and the other half grilled. For my sons is either buttered prawns or fried crabs. I like to have a small plate of kangkong belacan.

Our meal for five (2 adults and 3 kids) with some drinks cost us RM117.  Prices may vary due to season. So please check first.

The other restaurant is on the sea with an excelent view of the sea. 

My Verdict:-

The place was clean. Service was fast and food was good. We had a siakap fish, 4 buttered prawns, kankong belacan, lala masak pedas and 6 drinks. The bill came up to RM117.  
(please note:- the total above is at the time of posting. Prices may vary.)
