Growing Up in a Nonya Kitchen provides a rare and insightful view into
the daily life of a Peranakan family harking back to the early 20th
century. With comprehensive chapters dedicated to documenting cooking
utensils, essential ingredients, the Nonya's agak agak (estimating)
philosophy, as well as Chinese New Year and other festive dishes, baked
goods and Nonya kuehs, Growing Up in a Nonya Kitchen is a volume to read
and treasure for anyone looking for an in-depth understanding of the
Peranakan (and Singapore) food heritage.
