Malaysians love Hari Raya as it is full of family, friends and feasting. However, if you are cooking, catering or eating rich fare this festive season, you might experience the feeling of ‘jemu’ a Malay term to describe the feel when you have eaten too much of a good thing. What can you do to minimise the dreaded feeling of ‘jemu’ while still enjoying festive delights?
