My profile name LemakLemak began as an ID for my
very first email, 10 years ago. The name, probably came about as a result of my
late father's family's Peranakan influence in my life. Yes, there is a little
bit of Nyonya, deep within me.
The term 'Lemak' in Malay, is usually used to
describe dishes with coconut milk in them. The coconut milk add creaminess,
richness, flavour and fragrance to the dishes.
We love all things lemak - curries, desserts, kueh,
laksa, nasi etc. But, now being a little more health conscious, I'm a teeny
weeny prudent in the use of coconut milk in my cooking and baking. Despite
this, LemakLemak, will be my moniker for now.
Thanks for dropping by, and I hope, you will enjoy,
the little sharing of my experiences, past and present.....
