Presentation

“The nights are long here, always with a light breeze coming off the sea, even on the most sweltering evenings. At 7 a.m., in the oppressive heat of the afternoon, or well after midnight, there is always something open somewhere on this island. Time has a different meaning here.”
— Tash Aw

Welcome to Penang: Recipes & Wanderings Around an Island in Malaysia , the second volume in Apartamento and Belmond 's new series. Part cookbook, part cultural journey, Penang opens a window into a unique culinary cosmos where spicy air meets sea breeze and the buzz of island life can be heard from markets to home kitchens.

Chef André Chiang , Culinary Director of Eastern & Oriental Express, along with Chefs Malcolm Lee and Abby Lee, offers recipes for 23 iconic Malaysian dishes: from tangy Assam Laksa to a sweet Triple Layer Rice Pudding by Kirthanna Naidu , and many other delights in between.

Vibrant photographs by Luo Yang and essays by Tash Aw , Anna Sulan Masing , and Kirthanaa Naidu guide readers through the region's iconic sites, from family-run nutmeg plantations to durian farms perched on jungle-clad hills. Part invitation, part visual ode, this volume is a tribute to the island's unforgettable mosaic of flavors.
