The Best of Singapore"s Recipes: Hot & Spicy Treats is a collection of rich, fiery Asian favourites so beloved of Singaporeans. Being an excellent Peranakan cook herself, the late Mrs Leong excelled particularly in hot and spicy dishes. This collection of 67 recipes are largely from Indian, Peranakan and Malay cuisines, with some Chinese and Thai concoctions. A wider variety of spices are used in the recipes, resulting in redolent, fragrant dishes - comfort food for many generations of Singaporeans.
