Anwar BAB Reveals Favorite Lebaran Dishes, Prepares Special THR for Relatives

"The food that I've been waiting for? This one, what's it called? Nastar, my mom's homemade nastar filled with pineapple. Tape uli, that tape uli is really delicious. Semur daging, and the vegetable kumbuili. Kumbuili is, in Sundanese, potato vegetable, potatoes colored yellow with vermicelli, it's really good with petai," said Anwar BAB when met in East Jakarta, Monday (23/03/2026).

Besides the kumbuili vegetable, there is one other unique dish that Anwar always misses, which is fried tembang fish coated in flour. This simple yet delicious dish is the perfect complement among the array of heavier foods. 

Anwar really enjoys every bite of the dish with his extended family gathered during the open house moment. "Yes, the one with flour, the long ones, right? It's really good, delicious," said Anwar.

Along with his rising career in the entertainment world, Anwar also does not forget to share happiness through the tradition of giving Holiday Allowance (THR). He has prepared a number of small denomination bills to be distributed to his nephews, siblings, and even his employees. For him, giving THR is the right moment to give charity and help others on this festive day.

"Yes, make sure, because this happens once a year. That's why I prepare various kinds of small bills. Because if it's not Eid, people might feel embarrassed to come to the house asking for THR, right? It's a moment, so how do you say? I just say it's charity, it's good deeds," he said.

Anwar's concern for the welfare of those around him has become his main focus this year. He hopes that the charity he gives can be beneficial and bring happiness to those who receive it.

"Don't let there be people who are hungry on the first of Syawal, on Eid day, people who don't have rice, don't have food. God willing, everyone will be prosperous," concluded Anwar.
