Brilio.net - The Hajj pilgrimage is carried out with a number of obligatory pillars, one of which is Mabit or staying overnight in Mina. Since last Monday (17/6), Indonesian Hajj pilgrims have stayed for 4 days and 3 nights in Mina, after wukuf in Padang Arafah and leaving in Muzdalifah. At that moment, a number of congregants also took the time to record the situation there, including reviewing the food served.
Indeed, catering for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims often attracts attention every year. Not without reason, the catering served is often considered inadequate. However, this season's Hajj is different, which has received a lot of positive responses compared to previous years.
A Hajj pilgrim from Indonesia named Alvin once showed the menu served in a video uploaded to TikTok @alvinanindra. While staying at Mina, this VIP pilgrim admitted that the food served was very complete and full of nutrition.
This can be seen from the heavy food menu which includes carbohydrates, side dishes and protein. On the other hand, there are also free snacks and desserts served to the congregation. Not only that, there were also a number of officers who helped pick up the food.
"There are waiters who help get food. So, there won't be any fighting over it, let alone running out," said Alvin.
Given this, surely you are curious about the menu for the 2024 Indonesian VIP Hajj pilgrims, right? Come on, take a look at the review that BrilioFood summarized from TikTok @alvinanindra on Thursday (20/6).
