Seasonings Magazine is a collaboration between Hafizah Jainal (Hafi) and I, Pamelia Chia. It is a quarterly food publication that provides an insider's view into Singapore's festivals and festive food. In each issue, we highlight the beauty and cultural richness of one "season" in Singapore, to show that you don't have to belong to a specific race or religious group to appreciate a festival, because we have more in common than we think. In this current social climate, it is important for us to have more safe spaces to talk about sensitive issues such as race and religion. That is why we are discussing certain topics that we did not include in our first issue.
In this Hari Raya Puasa edition of the Seasonings roundtable, we invite issue contributors – Firdaus Sani, Azfar Maswan, Hairil Sukaime, Nor Hadayah, Delfina Utomo, and Taahira Booya (and the lovely Mama Zi) – to join us in a sharing session on: *The pressures of adhering to the ‘expected mould’ of being Muslim during this festival* *How can non-Malay Muslims be better represented in the promotion of Hari Raya Puasa* *The Sarah Bagharib wedding photo/ decoration saga* *Role of plant-based food in the Malay diet* *Misconceptions of Raya food*
