The most significant celebration for Muslims, it signifies the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. Known locally as Hari Raya Puasa or Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, the celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon on the day, before the next month on the Muslim calendar. Ramadan is the name of the one-month fasting period when Muslims fast from dawn till sunset. Muslims starts the day by wearing new clothes and congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visiting the graves of the departed. The celebration lasts for a month but most of the celebration is concentrated in the first three days.
Since we're here in Singapore, we decided that we might as well celebrate this occasion just so the kids will experience the other culture being observed here in Singapore. So I just prepared some local foods for us to feast with:

The kids with their favorite local dish (Prata - although originated in India, it has become popular Malay food as well, Ayam Panggang otherwise know as bbq chicken).
