This recipe book, which was given by a Mrs. Singam, played a special role in amma's gift of churning out deliciously tasty food.
She was always adventurous and loved trying out new recipes. I was surprised when I looked through the pages because her English was flawless. Her grandchildren should take note. Amma always spoke English with us and it is no wonder that she was equally fluent speaking and even writing the language. She never did get around learning Bahasa but I do vaguely remember one occasion, a very long time ago, where she had to give a speech in Bahasa! It was for one of those Railways Ladies Association. I don't know how she did it but she managed to deliver her speech. Does anyone remember the details of this incident?
