This year's Eid feels different for Armand Maulana and his family, who are currently residing in England.

Take a look at the excitement of Armand Maulana's Eid in England in the following photo slides.

Armand Maulana celebrates Eid together with all Indonesian citizens in England. The Indonesian Nusantara House - London is also prepared for the halal bihalal event.

Various typical dishes from the homeland, ranging from rendang to opor, are served on the table. Even in London, the warm atmosphere of the holiday still feels like in Indonesia.

Everything is prepared by the KBRI family members themselves, who are Indonesian people living in England, including Armand Maulana's family.

Among all the dishes served, the one that caught Armand Maulana's attention the most is ketupat. Unlike ketupat in Indonesia that is wrapped in palm leaves, British ketupat is molded in a tray.

This unique way of cooking ketupat cannot be avoided because there is no janur in London. Although different, this British ketupat is no different from regular ketupat after being cut and served.

The friendly session began after the Indonesian ambassador in London, Desra Percaya, came to Wisma Nusantara. The dishes served were enjoyed with joy.

The halal bihalal event continued with a virtual meeting with all Indonesian citizens scattered throughout the United Kingdom. Direct face-to-face meetings are not possible due to the pandemic.

Dewi Gita, who attended as a guest star, contributed her golden voice by singing the song Ketika Tangan dan Kaki Berkata popularized by the late Chrisye.

Not to be left behind, Armand Maulana also entertained his fellow countrymen in England with the band GIGI's song Kusadari Akhirnya. It's really exciting, KLovers!
