Used Book – BEKWOH – Stories & Recipes from Peninsula Malaysia’s East Coast – Bryan Koh – From The Award Winning Author of ” Milk Pigs & Violet Gold ” and ” 0451 Mornings are from Mont Hin Gar ” – Bekwoh unfolds as a culinary journey along Malaysia’s East Coast — from Terengganu’s fishing villages, where keropok lekor is crafted by hand, to Kota Bharu’s bustling central market, alive with an irresistible array of kuih. The trail continues north to Tumpat for khao jam, then south to Pahang, where roadside stalls dish out smoky lemang and rich rendang. Along the way, it weaves in the everyday and celebratory dishes of the Peranakan Chinese communities of Kelantan and Terengganu. Rooted in an East Coast word for cooking vessels, Bekwoh has come to symbolize generosity, abundance, and shared joy. These are the qualities Bryan brings to the table, offering more than 100 recipes that celebrate food as a source of warmth, culture, and togetherness.
