Sharing Is Caring in Indonesia

It's been noted that around 87% of the Indonesian population identifies as Muslim, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the holy month of Ramadan is celebrated by a huge portion of the country. And during this time, sharing is definitely caring. Muslims spend their days giving to those less fortunate than them and regularly make charitable donations in the form of Iftar food packages and care packages to those living on the streets.

When it's finally time to break their fast, Muslims in Indonesia love eating various Ramadan dishes, but they're particularly fond of kolak. This dish is made with coconut milk, coconut sugar, and something more robust like sweet potato or pumpkin.
