✨Mum'S Classics Revived

This cookbook is the result of Terry Wong’s painstaking efforts to recreate his mother’s classic recipes from her notes and his palate memories. These are home-cooked dishes of Singapore and Malaysia – food for family meals and festive feasts from Chinese, Nonya, Malay and Indian cuisines. These days, with fewer families cooking regularly, authentic home recipes along with our food culture are at risk of being lost. His Mum’s classic dishes include Wok-cooked Char Siew, Bean Paste Chilli Crab, Hakka Yong Tau Foo and Pan Mee (Pinched Noodles). Also included are her favourite party dishes like Mee Rebus, Penang Prawn Noodles and Assam Laksa. Traditional favourites such as Steamed Yam Cake, Chai Kuih and Curry Puffs add to the list.  Whether you are just starting out or experienced as a home cook, this cookbook will inspire you. The author enables this with clear, detailed recipes and teaches essential techniques required to master these dishes. And for those new to Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, this book will enlighten.  As Leslie Tay (ieatishootipost) says : “Terry Wong has decoded the complexity and nuances of Singapore and Malaysian home cooking for the next generation.” Terry uses his God-given talent generously and joyfully to inspire home and community cooking. A paean to his mother’s legacy, this book is also an important addition to books about our home food culture.
