Shiok!: Exciting Tropical Asian Flavors

Rating:
Summary: One of the best
Review: This is the best book that I have come across on Singaporean cuisine. My wife and I are from Singapore and we have been away from the country for about 7 years. She is a Chinese and I am an Indian. So between us we know what most of the dishes are supposed to taste like and our favourites put together covers quite a list of dishes. Recently, we started to cook more than we ever used to and started to look for books that would help us cook the food we missed most. We chanced upon this book and we have tried a number of dishes. For novices like us, what we churned out were very impressive indeed. The book is well organised and easy to read and follow. The pictures are fantastic. If you have enjoyed Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine and you would like to try a couple of dishes at home, you can't go wrong with this book. If you are a serious Singaporean cuisine fan and you want to cook up entire menus, you can't go wrong with this either. By the way, I must say the the binding of the book is not very good. I hope the publishers will do a bood job with that the next time around. But despite that, I would give this 5 stars. Buy it and cook up a storm...!
