SIMPLY COOK-LAH! RECIPE BOOK LAUNCH

 
Recipes contributed by members of Soroptimist International Shah Alam (SISA) Chapter and their close associates were compiled and published into a book by SISA recently.

 
Titled Simply Cook-lah!, the recipe book was launched at Dapurku Café in Setia Alam. While waiting for the launch ceremony to start, we took the opportunity to sample some of the popular items found in the Dapurku menu.

 
Notable dishses include Nasi Ulam Goreng with fried chicken, fish crackers and salted egg, and sambal, and a piquantly spiced Mee Siam with shredded omelette. 

The Curry Laksa is another crowd-pleaser; the rich coconut milk and spiced broth a nice canvas to capture the myriad of textures found in the noodle dish. Standing in contrast is a refreshing Nyonya Salad with Watermelon on a bed of lettuce with a mild cincalok-infused dressing.

 
The event turned out to be an afternoon of good food, a reunion of old friends and the making of new friends. After a short speech by Fadzilah Yasin, President of SISA 2025/2026 (pix below), a simple unveiling ceremony showcased Simply Cook-lah! to invited guests.

 
It was a timely milestone to mark SISA's 30th Anniversary which had the ladies gathered cutting a cake to celebrate the occasion. A mini buffet featuring the specialities found in the book was laid out, effectively bringing the contents to life. Guests had a first-hand taste of the actual recipes such as Savoury Taufufa, Sourdough Cucur Udang, Terung Lawa and Pajeri Nenas Slough.

 
According to Fadzilah, Simply Cook-lah! comprised a collection of SISA members’ favourite recipes; each with its own story to tell. “Simply Cook-lah is also a celebration of heritage, friendship and the bringing of people together.”
 
Priced at RM55 per book, all proceeds from the cookbook sale will go towards SISA projects, CSR initiatives and community aid.
