The Kitchen Whisk

Agak-agak by Shamzuri Hanifa

Agak-agak (pronounced aga-aga, with a silent k) is a Malaysian saying that means ‘guess-guess’ or ‘use your instincts’. In this book, Sham Hanifa has translated those instincts into easy-to-follow recipes that incorporate all the flavour of his diverse heritage, which includes Chinese, Thai, Indian and Malay influences. 
 
This multicultural background is reflected in Sham’s food, from Thai basil beef and the Malaysian comfort food classic of chicken rice to his grandmother’s famous crab laksa and Sham’s own renowned lamb rendang.
