As the last state to be featured for MFF, Perak will close the curtains.
It's been a busy month for me as quite a lot of things happened and is still happening. I even skipped blogging for a week without notice, that is if you noticed, and it's because I really couldn't cope.
This month has been a real challenge for me as I had to do so many experiments... because non of the hawker recipes I made, came with recipes and had to be recreated from memory of taste and texture.
Perak has quite a handful of bloggers, or at least, were born and raised here, but now am residing elsewhere.
We are all passionate about the food we grew up with and a big thank you to all who are not Perakians but have tried out the food from our state. I recieved a total of 58(+9) entries this month, with the 9 not emailed in to me, but submitted to our FB event page. I think everybody has been pretty busy with the school holidays, Raya and Merdeka ... of which is why I must truly apologise for being sooo late.
I know that this month.. some of you may feel.. that some dishes are not special enough as they are also available elsewhere. But let's not forget that this event is not about ORIGIN, but popular food that is somehow iconic, popular and has a taste of its own from that area. 100 years ago, 3 towns in Perak holds the top 4 spots in terms of size of town for Malaya, not counting the strait states. So, it's not surprising that the food from Perak that has been around for ages, been cooked elsewhere, given a face lift and food evolves. Embrace the differences, acknowledge each state's food culture and let's see what is POPULAR in Perak.
I'm going to do the round up a little different this time.. I'm going to go with districts... so that you may see.. the distribution of good food around the state :)
