You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Mae West
If I had to define patriotism, it would be the tastes of your childhood. If I sample a mixture of brown sugar and butter, I can go all Proust on myself and remember my mother’s cookies. And if I had to define maturity, it would be the evolution of taste acquired over time and exposure to many different cuisines.
Which is another way to say that I didn’t grow up on the Malay specialty of beef rendang!
