Medan Selera Odyssey is also the English version of “Medan Selera” (avenue of tantalising tastes), aptly titled to reflect the journey these recipes have undergone since the 1950s, when he first published it. It is now being immortalised by six of his beloved grandchildren.

This book is listed in the “50 Best Malaysian Titles for International Rights”, showcased at Frankfurt Book Fair 2015.
