Ken Choong looks as out of place in a kitchen as he looks well-suited to a hipster joint. When he starts waxing lyrical about the intricacies of Peranakan food, it’s hard to stop your eyebrows from hitting the roof.
Choong comes from a long line of Penang Peranakans and is lucky that the family’s culinary heritage has been passed down through the generations, forming a repository that is over 100 years old. His great-grandmother was born in 1878, and the family still uses her recipes to this day.
