The best of Malaysian cuisine and culture, from a.m. to p.m.

A Day in Penang takes you on a culinary tour of this bustling, intoxicating region in Malaysia’s north. A brisk walk-through of George Town is alive with the fragrances of laksa, coriander, and cumin (the foundation of Malay curries), along with lemongrass, makrut lime leaves, cardamom, star anise, and fenugreek. This book captures a day in the life of this food-obsessed state, from breakfast to dessert, and features iconic national recipes cooked throughout the homes, streets, and restaurants of Penang.

Malaysian cuisine is some of the best in the world; for centuries the Malay Peninsula has harbored ships from the Middle East, India, Europe, China, and Indonesia, creating a delectable melting pot of spice, flavor, and ingredients. And while Kuala Lumpur might be the nation’s official capital, Penang is undoubtedly the reigning food capital.

With beautiful photography and easy-to-follow recipes, A Day in Penang is the ultimate book for food and travel enthusiasts alike.
Aim Aris and Ahmad Salim are a collaborative duo with a passion for good food, fine flavors, and sustainable living. Under the brand SCINTILLA, they’ve created upscale Malaysian pop-up restaurants in Australia, Indonesia, and Japan.
