Author's Note
All the recipes in this book were gathered with the
concern of the owner that requested to be anonymous.
The recipes were collected from someone that is local in
the state they are living and had stayed in the
respective state for quite some time. I welcomed any
corrections and advices if there were any error or
misconceptions in the recipes. All the photograph were
taken by me and cooked by a dear friend of mine
guided by recipes that had been gathered earlier.
Gathering the recipes was made through phone calls,
face to face interviews and even from an old recipe
book. I am grateful that I managed to gather 13 unique
recipes of Sambal from all 13 states. I really appreciate
their cooperation and their willingness to share these
magnificent treasures. I really hope this booklet will be
beneficial to everyone especially to people who have
high preference and interest with Malaysia’s Sambal.
Let's appreciate and celebrate more of Malaysia's
heritage and preserve it for future generations.
