About the participant
I'm Vera from Indonesia, and have been working in Singapore as a Creative Director. I'm a happy mother of 2. I love to cook and explore spices. I enjoy the scene in my home when my family looks in delight at the dishes I prepare for them. Most of the food I cook have Indonesian Chinese influence.
This is my 1st recipe. The photos were taken long ago by my husband while I was doing preparation. Will take better ones next time when I cook this dish again. My kids and husband love this dish very much.
