Discovering the Colours of Chetti Cuisine

Made in Malaysia is the show that’s all about the people and things that make Malaysia, Malaysia. And in our first month of shows, we’re diving headfirst into the one thing that most Malaysians can agree on: food! Tonight, we hear from a member of the Melaka Chetti community about the preservation efforts led by the Melaka Chetti Kitchen, and why these dishes are more than just food — they're cultural treasures. Amu also shares her personal stories, discusses the unique flavor profiles, and reveals the customs that make Chetti cuisine distinct. Whether you're a food enthusiast or a cultural explorer, tonight's show will surely get you craving the delicious and historically rich dishes of the elusive Melaka Chetti.
