It is uncommon for men to like kueh,glad that you have good taste.
Magenta and gold is our team colour for the book.Thanks Mark.

Kueh talam and seri muka are both so mouthwatering, you just have to
beg for more once you started eating them. It makes me happy that
someone can cook well by using my family's receipes.Long live Nyonya cuisine. Thanks CK, it is the pandan translucent green, very fragrant as well.

Hello shutterspeed, another man who likes kueh. You are so spoilt that you can buy it in Penang. We have to start from stratch, no wonder we becomes "hungry ghosts" when we go home to Penang. Please save some for me! THANKS.
