island.of.spices

 a recreation of something closer to home.

it's supposed to be something closer to his home and childhood but because he couldn't pin down the recipe, while he was still searching, you started to compose the spices you need for your taste of home.  you need island of spices but you have all of them.

so it turned out to be a reminiscence of a taste of home. not necessary home cook, but one of the hawker food that you really love. one that heavily influence by teochew or hokkien clan in south east asia. kueh chap was it!

it's dark but not intense.  the taste is almost there but not strong enough to your liking. you're counting down to the day to taste a bowl of perfect kueh chap at your hometown, the meow meow city.
