Cooking together during Hari Raya always brings the family together and is a reminder of simpler times. From left: Zara Amanda Mohd Haikal, Maizatul, Tunku Maisara, Tunku Shariz and Tunku Muhammad Raziq. — Photos: ART CHEN/The Star

In their cosy kitchen, Tunku Shariz Tunku Azmi and his wife Dr Maizatul Zolkapli are hard at work. The duo’s movements are graceful and dexterous – they never get in each other’s way, instead moving fluidly through the space to get things done.

While Tunku Shariz stirs the contents of a kuali, his wife carefully spoons batter into a mould. In between, they exchange warm, knowing smiles.
