Penang is one of the food capitals of Malaysia. However, over time, many Penang heritage dishes have been modified so much that what is served today is just a pale image of the original. The tastes of home-cooked dishes have not been faithfully reproduced from one generation to the next. Similarly, street- food and restaurant recipes have not been faithfully passed from a retiring chef to his successor. This book preserves the Penang heritage food from days of yore, covering home- cooked food, street food and restaurant dishes. Meticulously researched, every recipe is prefaced with heritage information and, together, they trace Penang heritage food to its Thai, Hokkien, Hainanese, Indian and Malay roots. Penang Heritage Food won a national award for best culinary history in the World Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.
Jin Teong was born in Penang into a Nonya family and was exposed to cooking at home at an early age. A professor of Electrical Engineering, he has, since retirement, extensively researched Penang and Nonya cuisines, and is a sought-after authority and speaker on the subjects. Jin Teong is preparing his next cookbook, The Malayan Heritage Kitchen.
