A lesser-known trait of Malaysia's beloved first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj is his passion for food. Bapa Malaysia (Father of Malaysia), as he has been fondly known by generations of Malaysians, loved to take charge of the kitchen and enjoyed cooking as much as eating. In this book, his niece, Y. T. M. Dato' Tunku Mukminah Tunku Mohd. Jiwa warmly invites us into his kitchen. Recipes of strong asian and western flavours are featured in their vibrant colour and easy-to-follow steps.
Tempting the palate, a collection of over 70 recipes from succulent seafood, tasty meat dishes and mouth-watering desserts are presented in good, wholesome simplicity. As expected, Tunku's ever famous roast beef with Yorkshire pudding is also included. For convenience, the wide range but easily available ingredients are supported by a comprehensive glossary.
Heart-warming anecdotes on Tunku, by those who were closest to him, are a special touch to the book. As we savour Tunku's recipes we will remember the charms and warmth of his presence in that era.
