The Melaka Chetti Kitchen (2nd Edition)

‘The Melaka Chetti Kitchen’ is a defining publication that seeks to preserve the traditional food culture and knowledge of this unique Peranakan community. Some recipes have been passed down for more than 500 years, providing a glimpse of the community’s way of life and its assimilation with other communities within the same ecosystem.

With a detailed description of the food recipes, anecdotes and food stories, we hope to:

• Reconnect with the younger generation so that they are inspired to appreciate their heritage.
• Introduce the Melaka Chetti flavours to the world, elevating the prominence of this threatened Peranakan community.
