Asian Cuisine Cooking Mrs Lee Chin Koon

Mrs Lee’s Cookbook by Lee Chin Koon distills generations of Peranakan and Singaporean family favourites into one vintage 1980 hardcover, making it a sought-after title among collectors of Asian cuisine cookbooks. Every page carries the quiet authority of a mother passing treasured kitchen secrets to her children.

Inside you’ll find precise measurements for rempah blends, step-by-step photos of hand-rolled kueh, and the much-requested chicken curry that once graced the Lee family table. The recipes balance authenticity with clear instructions, so newcomers to Nyonya fare can cook with confidence.

This copy shows its age honestly: the dust jacket is softly faded, a few page edges carry light stains, and the protective rice-paper overlay is creased, yet every recipe page remains perfectly readable and free of notes. It is an unmarked, unsigned edition ready for everyday kitchen duty or gentle display on a culinary bookshelf.

A charming, affordable first press for cooks, food historians, or anyone hunting a nostalgic slice of Singapore’s edible heritage.
