PETALING JAYA: The tradition of baking sugee cakes for Christmas and other family gatherings has been a must for the Portuguese settlement in Malacca for generations. Families and bakeries are working together to continue preserving a centuries-old tradition.
Founder of Anyday Cakes, chef Fabian Especkerman, 65, has been baking cakes for not just those of Portuguese heritage but for the wider Malaysian community.
