OPENING SCENE:(Background music: The sound of Hari Rayas prayer indicating the morning of Raya day. On stage, the maid is busy sweeping the floor) (The Man and The Woman enter from both sides of the stage; bringing with them the food to be put in display in the dining table. One by one the foods are brought out and arranged accordingly) Narrator : It is the day of Hari Raya. All the foods are spread out in buffet style on the table. Just as we thought that its going to be another delightful food session, boy do we get it wrong. If only these foods could talk, what would their conversations be like? Lets listen to them. Ah! What a great day! (whilestretching)I feel so fresh and I cant wait for the guests to arrive. Im sure they will be so thrilled to see me. (smiles happily) (Smirking) You? Hah! They wont be happy to see you, CikLemang. Youre so fattening with all your coconut milk contents. People will die of heart attack once they consume you. Consider yourself out! (Annoyed)Excuse me? Look whos talking? Oh, its you Mrs.Dodol. Full of high sugar content. You alone is enough to make any diabetic person die of sugar high. You dare to criticize me?! Hey, heywhats going on? No need to fight. Chill, foodies. The only food that is worth waking up to is none other than me, PuanRendang. (proud)The ultimate food for Malaysians. I am so versatile. I can be a chicken rendang, a mutton rendangyou name it and you will get it. I am in every Malaysians home, kitchens, corners and restaurants. Even five or six star hotels, you know. Local, and international too! Thats how popular I ambut you Mrs.Dodol? Just look at 1

Booooooo!!!!! (Loud) Jealous!(irritated) My, my. Is this a competition? Because if it is, I think its going to be me, Madam Ketupat who will win.

Dodol/ Rendang &Lemang : You, Madam Ketupat??? But why? What is so special about you? Ketupat : Aheverything about me is special. First, no house for Hari Raya would be complete without me. I am the only dish that can be eaten and decorated.They hang me around the house to symbolize the celebration. Me, Madam Ketupat, yours truly. I dont see you Dodol, Rendang and Lemang being used as decorations around the house. Do you??? Ha haha!(evil laughter) (Disgusted tone)Youre nothing but overloaded carbohydrate, Madam Ketupat! And one more thing, you alone will not lure people to eat you; because you taste so bland without the compliments of other food. You need curry or gravy to make you edible. Otherwise, youre so blah! How dare you insult me, CikLemang! I am as old and as established as the tradition itself. How dare you! (angry) (At the background, the maid is suspicious after hearing the noises) Maid: Ketupat: Whats that? I thought I heard something Sshh! The maid is coming! (All the food become static as the maid enters) Maid: Mmm, I thought I had arranged the food. Lets see (the maid re-arrange the food) Thats better. (The maid left after re-arranging the food) Ok, shes gone!! Well, well, well.all of you are foolish. CikLemang, its so tedious to cook you that these days people just forget you. PuanRendang, you think youre so great but youre not. Your high cholesterol will put anyone in a dangerous situation.Madam Ketupat, yes; youre nothing but carbohydrates overload. Too 2

Dodol: Satay :

much can kill. Mrs. Dodol, you may be sweet but thats all about you. Rotten teeth, high sugar.you are the major problems of the society!!! There is even a campaign against you, to lessen the sugar intake in daily livesSo you have no place at all! Youre unwanted! All(except Satay) : Satay :

Watch your tongue, Satay! You have no right at all to criticize us. Youre nuts!!! Me? Me not nuts! Me minced chicken; grilled to perfection. (with style)I am more popular than any of you here.not just during festivals but even on normal days. You can find me in the night market, food fest, everywhere. Everyone loves me! Im always the food of choice. How can any one of you top that?

All : (except Satay) Narrator :

Boooooo!!! (Even louder than the previous) Food fighttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!! (All the food got into a big fight)

And so, all the food on the table squandered and fight with one another. The fight got so bad that all the food presentations go haywire. Suddenly, the man and the woman enter. (Shocked) Oh abang! Look at all the food! What happened? One minute they were nicely spread on the table and now, look what happened? Who did this? We dont even own a cat. Who or what could have done this to us??? How are we going to serve the guests? Theyre coming in one hour. I cant get another food ready on time(crying)Boo hoo.I will be ridiculed by the guests. Oh, how unlucky of me!! Relax, sayang, relax. I know how we can fix this. Eh, I think KFC and Pizza Hut are open every day of the year right? And I also hear they have a special price for Raya days. Why dont we just order from them? We can even order McDonalds too. No need for all these traditional food. Im sure the guests have already eaten all the ketupat, lemang, dodol, satay and rendang at other houses. So we do western style lah, sayang. What say you? Abang, youre so clever! Yes, lets do that. I will get the maid to clear the table and throw all these foods into the dustbins. Bibik! Bibik! Yes, Madam! (running towards her employer) Come and clear the table now please.(Reaching out for her handphone) Hello, McDonalds Delivery??? (Both the man and woman left. And as soon as they left, the maid comes in to clear the table)

(Looking unhappy and disappointed) Bad! Bad! Bad! Oh why, why, why??? Ive already clean and prepared everything and now? Everything is ruined. What a mess, huh! Im already tired from morning until last nightand again until this morning. What a waste! All these good foodAh well, no choice then. I have to clean up all this mess. Now, where did I keep that large mop?? (Turned to find a mop) Oh no! Shes gonna throw us into the dustbins.arrghhhhh! (and the maid use a large mop to wipe clean all the food!) Well, ladies and gentlemen. Thats what happened when food fights! Nothing good can come out of arguments. If only Rendang, Ketupat, Satay, Lemang and Dodol were united, they could have been enjoyed by the guests and they wont go to waste. How unfortunate for them. Oh well, lets hope that this wont happen again! Remember, no one wins in a fight. And dont forget to always be thankful for all the good food that we have every day!
