When Singaporean author Hidayah Amin was studying abroad many years ago, she found herself longing for the taste of local kuih.

Hidayah, a Fulbright Scholar, missed kuih so much, she started learning how to make them while living abroad in places such as United States, Britain and France. The lack of kuih also made her realise how she had taken these delicious local delicacies for granted, especially the ones baked by her grandmother and mother while she was growing up.
