Our family's handwritten cookbooks are treasured records of a life shaped by care, humility, and shared strength. In our kampung, food was always prepared together. Women gathered before sunrise to cook for kenduri, men tended the fires, and neighbours became like family. Each dish, from gulai ikan to bingka ubi, holds stories of resilience, generosity, and togetherness through both joy and hardship.
 
“Selamat Belajar Masak” is an invitation to carry forward this spirit. These pages honour the hands that came before us and the community that taught us to rise with one another, one meal, one memory, one act of love at a time. Allow us to share these recipes with you.

Enjoy.
