Get Smoked AGAIN with the Curly Cook
For far too long, the Curly Cook has been toying and tempering with her concoction of smoked meats and background of traditional Negeri Sembilan food. For those unaccustomed with Minang food, famous for its use of coconut milk and spicy chili. Minang cuisine consists of three main elements: gulai (curry), lado (chili pepper) and bareh (rice).
Her love for the cuisine and smoked meats have brought about the idea to share her passion and her dishes to the world. This has slowly but surely grown her reach and she's been getting bolder with her flavours and pairings. She's happy to bring her latest menu to temu house for a whole different crowd. Know that you will be experiencing a feast for the senses!
Merlissa Zainal aka The Curly Cook
Merlissa is passionate about hitting the right notes when it comes to flavours. Everything is all about balance. She started off at the age of 12, learning how to make assam pedas from her grandmother who's from Negeri Sembilan. But she's also always been surrounded by cooks all her life. Whenever her mom cooks, she will always guide her on how to get the best from the ingredients.
A few years after she left Malaysia for Hong Kong is when she started seriously immersing herself in food as she had to learn to do everything on my own. "Couldn’t find any decent Malaysian food. That’s why."
Then her culinary journey started. She is passionate about Malaysian flavours and would like to see how it goes with other cuisines.
