9 d. ago Chicken rendang and rasam: Sugen Gopal’s recipes for Malaysian comfort food

A simple, fragrant, restorative soup, plus a chickeny twist on the classic Indonesian-Malay aromatic ‘dry’ curryComfort food means different things to different people, and today’s recipes are what do it for me. Rasam is the dish I crave whenever I’m feeling under the weather, because it gives me a boost.

Was this the life purpose I was looking for?” A boyfriend, she decides, might “add colour to my life as well as provide intrigue”.
