after a recent visit to singapore where i sampled delicious food, i was eager to try the recipes myself. i knew amazon would be the perfect place to find a cookery book, so after searching through a selection of books i chose this one. i wasn't disappointed. as well as recipes, the author gave detailed explanations about origins and culture adsociated with malaysian cookery. the recipes are easy to follow, even if it is difficult to find some of the ingredients where i live. i recommend this book to anyone interested in good food.
