BOOK REVIEW: Hungry in Ipoh by Fixi Novo
Malaysians eat and commune over food, 24/7. There are plenty of dining options and certain cities in Malaysia hold the moniker of food paradise. Ipoh is one of those cities.
This book compiles 15 short stories based on Ipoh - a city famous for its delicacies. These are tales about different people - both locals and outsiders, from the past and the present - and their connection to the city.
You'll find love, humor, horror, nostalgia, melancholy and so much more. Some are mouthwatering while others are stomach-churning..
One of the stories was written by one of the active members in the KL Book Appreciation Club (KLBAC), Tina Isaacs. Her take on the Raja Bersiung story (Malaysian vampire) was totally cool.
If you love stories that revolve around local flavours and settings, this book is your go-to during your next purchase.
