Traditional Malay recipes from Kedah


Mee rebus - YAP CHEE HONG/The Star

Chef Mohamad Zaidi is warm and instantly likeable, exuding a natural charm that comes from being incredibly humble and oh-so nice, despite holding the lofty position of executive chef at the opulent Majestic Kuala Lumpur.

In many ways, Zaidi’s affability is in keeping with his background, which saw him growing up in the town of Anak Bukit in Kedah, which was just a stone’s throw away from the royal palace.
