Cheong got the idea for this dish from a kampung (rural village) eating experience he had in Malaysia.
I love kampung food, because it has its own way of tasting both exotic and balanced. The village people tend to live by a river, where they could source fresh fish, coconuts, herbs from the jungle and a few vegetables and fruits they grow to make all their simple dishes. They would use fruits and sweet potato instead of butter and cornflour to sweeten and thicken their sauces.<
