Nurul Huda Farid
Coming to a new country, adjusting to the living conditions, cultural and language barrier can be a challenging task. No matter how hard we try to adjust to the new environment, it will still come to a point where home is dearly missed. And the first thing that we start to crave for is home food. Eating even the simplest food can be enough to let the person reminiscent home, family and friends that are left behind.
Sharing stories of home, family and friends around the dinner table is a way for them to unwind and relax. I propose to set up cooking stations where locals and foreigners can join in the spirit of “gotong royong” (a malay term for working together to foster a sense of community)to cook simple dishes, eating together, exchange stories and learn about each other.
