Download or read book Daily Nonya Dishes written by Lloyd Matthew Tan and published by Landmark Books Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2017 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cookbook gives recipes for the food that Babas and Nonyas of old ate for their breakfast, lunch, dinner and in-between every day. This food is not the festive cuisine of Ayam Buah Keluak, Babi Pongteh, and Bakwan Kepiting that are the staples of many Peranakan cookbooks available in bookshops. The daily Nonya dishes are more simple fare, but no less delicious. Food like Ayam Goreng Tauyu Lada Manis (fried chicken with sweet black soya sauce and pepper), Babi Tempra (pork in tangy soya sauce), Gerago Goreng Tepong (krill fritters), Belimbi Masak Taucheo (belimbing in fermented soya bean), and Telor Dadair Empat Daon (four-herb omelette). The author also includes traditional dishes that have almost vanished – Babi Moro (pork with fermented soy beans and red onions), Buah Paya Masak Titik (papaya and prawns in spicy gravy), and the various tohay dishes made from fermented krill and red yeast. Thus, Daily Nonya Dishes is not only a fresh, and welcome addition to the canon of Peranakan cookbooks, but is also a valuable documentation of the food enjoyed by Babas and Nonya around the family table in the heyday of Peranakan culture. This is an exciting new book in the spirit of rata rata (just eat the dishes and enjoy)!

Download or read book Robert Kuok A Memoir written by Robert Kuok and published by Landmark Books Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Kuok is one of the most highly respected businessmen in Asia. But this legendary Overseas Chinese entrepreneur, commodities trader who made his first milion on the London sugar market, hotelier of the Shangri-la chain, and property mogul has maintained a low profile and seldom shed light in public on his business empire or personal life. That is, until now. In these memoirs, the 94-year-old Kuok tells the remarkable story of how, starting in British Colonial Malaya, he built a multi-industry, multinational business group. In reflecting back on 75 years of conducting business, he offers management insights, discusses strategies and lessons learned, and relates his principles, philosophy, and moral code. Kuok has lived through fascinating and often tumultuous times in Asia – from British colonialism to Japanese military occupation to post-colonial Southeast Asia and the dramatic rise of Asian economies, including, more recently, China. From his front-row seat and as an active participant, this keen, multi-cultural observer tells nearly a century of Asian history through his life and times. Readers interested in business, management, history, politics, culture and sociology will all enjoy Robert Kuok’s unique and remarkable story.

Download or read book Irene s Peranakan Recipes written by Irene Yeo and published by Epigram Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peranakan is the term given to descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, Malacca, Indonesia and Singapore and married the native Malays. Peranakan (or Nonya) cuisine combines the best of Chinese, Malay and other Asian influences to offer a unique fusion of exotic food. The food is aromatic, spicy, and herbal. Peranakan cuisine also includes a wide range of desserts that are popular in this region. Irene was born to a quintessentially Teochew family, and married into a traditional Peranakan family. Cooking wasn’t always her strong suit, and she had to enrol in cooking classes after her marriage. Then, through trial and error, swapping recipes with friends, gleaning cooking tips from neighbours and friends, and tapping on her husband’s discerning taste buds, Irene’s culinary genie emerged. As the years simmered and broiled, Irene gained confidence and started her own cooking classes. She taught at classes organised by the Social Development Unit, the Welfare Club of Tan Tock Seng Hospital and other church groups. With all these classes, she was able to fine-tune her recipes even further. Writing a cookbook had always been on Irene’s mind, but she passed away before she could complete it. This book is compiled by her daughter Elaine Yeo. Irene’s Peranakan Recipes is part of Epigram Books’ award-winning Heritage Cookbook series, which showcases the best of Singapore’s major cuisines through authentic family recipes.
