Agak-Agak

Sham Hanifa's multicultural background is the perfect representation of the Malaysian society that he grew up in, with Chinese and Thai influences from his maternal side and Indian and Malay influences from his paternal side. This is reflected in Sham's food, which combines these cultures, cuisines and flavours. You'll hear people saying the word 'agak-agak' all the time in Malaysia, where it's a common term. It means 'to estimate' or 'to guess', but to Sham, it means using your instincts when it comes to cooking. In this book, he's translated those instincts into easy-to-follow recipes that pack in all the flavour of his diverse heritage.
