Ibnu Jamil Openly 'Hungry Eyes' in Ramadan Even Though Ririn Ekawati is Good at Cooking

Kapanlagi.com - Soon, Muslims around the world will welcome the holy month of Ramadan. Surely, in this moment, all Muslims will strive to worship because the rewards are multiplied compared to ordinary days.

However, there are many unique habits of Muslims, especially in Indonesia, when this holy and blessed month arrives. The habit of 'hungry eyes', especially at the beginning of fasting, often occurs. 'Hungry eyes' here means wanting to buy iftar food sold before breaking fast.

This is what artist Ibnu Jamil feels when Ramadan comes. The husband of Ririn Ekawati admitted that he often loses control when he sees various snacks or takjil sold on the roadside.

"That is also what is interesting, especially in Ramadan. I get dizzy thinking about takjil even though I just finished suhoor, but that is also something interesting for us," said Ibnu Jamil when met in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, not long ago.

However, Ibnu Jamil tries his best to resist the temptation because his beloved wife is an expert in cooking.

"No, my wife is a great cook. But during the fasting month, we are tempted by various snacks and our eyes get hungry, but we don't know whether the food is delicious or not, we don't know how it tastes, we can only imagine, and when we eat it, there is always something missing," he continued.

2. Eating Heavy Meals Immediately

On the same occasion, Ririn Ekawati agrees with her husband. However, she emphasizes that during the iftar moment, she prefers to eat heavy meals rather than snacks.

"That's the excitement (of Ramadan), seeing people selling food is exciting. But when I break my fast, I prefer to eat heavy meals," Ririn Ekawati replied.

3. Favorite Takjil Menu

In addition, Ibnu Jamil also added that his wife always breaks the fast with dates during Ramadan. That food is usually the obligatory takjil in Ibnu Jamil and Ririn Ekawati's family.

"Ririn always has to have dates, eating dates to store energy. That's all, no one at home is bothered about food," Ibnu Jamil concluded.
