How is your Ramadan so far? Did you puasa? Hehehe… well I tried and
I succeeded 1 day, at least. It’s not easy though, I can tahan not eating for a
day but not drinking is really tuff. Well, I received a few invitations to buka puasa events this
month. Some friends already started to ask in the group chat what to wear. Luckily
I already did some Raya Shopping at Pusat Pakaian Hari Hari. How about you? Have
you started your Raya shopping?
When you are invited to Malay events such as buka puasa, raya open
house or wedding; so what should you wear? Well, it would be nice to wear Malay
costume, I am sure the host will be happy and remember that.
As for me I usually buy at least 1 set of baju kurung or kebaya every year. Usually is more than 1 set la… aheeem. As you know, I have many Malay friends and colleagues so on and off I get invitations to their wedding, corporate functions, open houses and etc. I can’t wear the same baju to all the events and functions right? I prefer baju kurung because it’s more versatile I can wear it to events, functions and also to work.
Time to hunt for baju kurung, tadah!!! I am here at Pusat Pakaian Hari Hari in their Sungai Besi outlet for my Raya Shopping. Oh my! I tell you can find so many types of clothes at such a great bargain and affordable prices for the whole family. Well, I like to shop but I am smart shopper too. I don’t really go for branded stuff that cost a bomb. My style is as long as the clothes materials are good, comfortable and I look awesome in it, then it’s deal.
Jom shopping… I have selected a few but can’t decide which one look better on me and hey the what do you think of this rainbow pants? The material is so comfortable and suitable for the hot weather here.
Oh well, I cant decide now... which one looks better on me? Left or Right? Purple or the Pink? This baju kurung only cost RM69.90 getting both also no problem right... hehehe.
By the way, if baju kurung is not your choice then there is jubah,
skirts, blouses, pants, t-shirts also. Not only that you can also find songkok, sejadah, kain batik, shoes, school bags, undergarments, daily wear and many more.
The sales girl told me that their Family
Set is selling very well. I know Malay family usually has theme for raya according to color code. The family set at Hari-Hari consist of baju kurung for the Mother and daugthers and baju Melayu for the father and sons. The whole set 2 adults and 2 children cost less than RM200.
Overall, I had a good shopping experience at Pusat Pakaian Hari
Hari. Their clothes are so affordable, material are reasonably good and sales girls are also helpful and polite. Hey! I got 2 sets of baju kurung, 1 long
skirt, 1 blouse and a few towels, all in less than RM200 wah what a good
bargain. My baju kurung that only cost RM69.90 per set comes with beads
(labuci) on the collar and sleeves, so worth it la. Usually at Ramadan bazaar will
cost more than RM100.
Hari Hari in Malay means everyday, it would not hurt my wallet if
I visit Pusat Pakaian Hari Hari everyday because everything there is so
affordable. Current they have promotion you get free woven bag and also sampul
duit raya with every purchase (while stock last).
Oh ya, if you plan to do your
Raya Shopping you can check out the Pusat Pakaian Hari Hari outlet that is near
or convenient to you. They have about 75 outlets throughout Malaysia and more coming
soon. Just check out their outlet locations on Pusat Pakaian Hari Hari, website http://www.hari.com.my or updates on their facebook

Love the outfit colours and variety offered in this showroom. Surely you will get a good one to wear !
ReplyDeleteYou look great in that orange Raya. I like the rainbow pants, too.
ReplyDeleteSo, what did you finally get? I would be confused with those rows of clothes!
ReplyDeleteItsa really colorful and glad to mknow that Malay still preserve theyre costumes espmon wedding and other formal events. For us Filipinos we still preserve wearing our own like the Barong Tagalog
ReplyDeleteI t looks like you were able to buy a lot. You now have different outfits for different occasions.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got the pink one - it would look great on you. Oh but I think you'd look fab in anything. I'd take note of this. I'll be in Malaysia again next year for couple friend's wedding - I know where to go to get my OOTD.
ReplyDeleteI have not experienced any Ramadan events. It's embarrassing that I do not know much about this month-long event. You are lucky you have close Muslim friends to teach you about their practices.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice clothes. It’s also nice to know more about the Malay tradition through your post. There are so many clothes to choose from that place. It’s a shopper’s haven.
ReplyDeleteI've experienced Ramadan Festival, and I love the way you end your tradition. I also once attended a baptismal ceremony that we have to use that kind of a dress, and I super like the clothes.
ReplyDeleteThey've got great assortment - very colorful and stylish. I love the orange one on you. It really compliments your skin color :)
ReplyDeleteSo many nice clothes to choose from, and what have you bought dear?
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pretty outfits. Glad you found something great for yourself. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteeverything is so colourful there! I'm still not brave enough to wear colour lol
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow pants will definitely suit the recent legalisation of gay marriage! Haha... I actually like the bold colours, too bad, now everyone will associate rainbow colours with Gay~
ReplyDeleteGreat place with affordable clothes! The orange piece suits you very well! Haha! :D
ReplyDeleteyou look good in orange! that rainbow skirt/pants reminds me of nonya kueh, haha! but it looks cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the lavender kebaya. Good to know that you enjoyed shopping this season of Ramadan
ReplyDeleteI like the rainbow pants! Looks yummy and cheery :)
ReplyDeleteI always think of getting myself a baju kurung. I think you provided a very good place to shop.
ReplyDeleteRm200 for a family set! That's amazing value. I love seeing my Muslim neighbours in their coordinated outfits on hari ray a, am lad to hear of a place that offers value for them.
ReplyDeleteNice to know this shopping places but here, it's different..just a little difference, the people. Good to shop where everything are available.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange outfit and the pink dress on the right! I've always been interested in traditional costumes of every country and yours are beautiful. I would love to experience wearing one someday.
