Here at TSG, everybody have to prepare the food from scratch - the traditional way. No blender, no chopper & no microwave ;). So all of our family members has to lend their hand in the food making. MakLong (Mommy's eldest sister is the chef at TSG). You can read about her from her website. She has been featured in NST, Going Places (MAS) magazine & her students (mostly tourist) came all around the world to learn how to cook traditional Malay food. You can come & meet her if u are in Penang :)
