Lost Recipes of Malaysia (MPH Masterclass Kitchen Series Book 2)

ABOUT THE BOOK Much has been said of Malaysia's culinary diversity. But beyond the more popular char kway teow, roti canai and nasi lemak are dishes that our forefathers used to make and enjoy, at an era when life was less hectic, people were much closer to nature and made the most of what they grew or reared in their backyards.. In the rush towards modernity, memories of simple schoolyard snacks such as asam boi popsicles and skewered sengkuang slices, as well as elaborate dishes such as rendang tok and the less-heard-of banana-stem paratal, are slowly but surely fading away.. Fearing the loss of these traditional flavours, Hellen Fong marshalled several chefs from her cooking school, At 19 Culinary Studio, in her bid to rescue them from obscurity. . Tapping into their own memories and family recipe archives, they have come up with this collection of Lost Malaysian Recipes, a culinary time capsule that's sure to take us back to a Malaysia some of us still remember..
