Aunty Zah Profile

Home-cook extraordinaire, Aunty Zah exudes warmth and comfort. Trained the old-fashioned way - by playing in her mother’s kitchen and learning from friends and family willing to share their recipes - she loves nothing more than spreading her knowledge of cooking to others so that they may carry on the tradition of good home cooking.

Being the wife of a diplomat, cooking and teaching others about Malaysia has become second nature. After all, what better way to celebrate Malaysia than through our food! She has entertained and cooked for foreign dignitaries and hosted events that bring a little bit of home to hundreds of Malaysians living overseas. With decades worth of cooking experience under her belt, you can be assured of learning from someone with stories to tell and knowledge to impart.
