Pictures of home cooked food sent through WhatsApp, packages of rempah in my kitchen and making teh-tarik to start my mornings: these are the few things that have helped me cope with my home sickness. I believe food plays a huge role of bringing people together, so I started to think about what are the colors, flavors, and smells that I craved.
Being away from home during the pandemic was incredibly hard for me, I was constantly missing my family, stressed about work and didn’t pay attention to what I ate. I would reminisce about the food my parents would prepare to make me feel at ease. Every time I tried to make a dish like my mom, I would struggle with the process. I wasn’t a master like my mother on how to agak-agak my ingredients.
