ACTRESS Datin Atikah Suhaime’s simple fried rice, a staple from her family’s less fortunate days, has become a beloved dish among her in-laws, reported Kosmo!.
“This fried rice holds a special memory,” Atikah shared.
“When my family was struggling, my mother would make this dish using only anchovies, without meat or chicken.”
Despite her current wealth, Atikah still occasionally prepares the anchovy fried rice to cherish the taste of her mother’s cooking.
“One day, my father-in-law caught the aroma when I was cooking and insisted on trying it.
“Since then, the recipe has spread among my in-laws.”
Atikah added that her husband, Datuk Lokman Teh, is also fond of her fried rice.
However, her family in Singapore has lost their appetite for it, as it evokes memories of their difficult past.
