"Beautiful, inspiring, but above all authoritative. Mandy Yin holds all the secrets to exquisite Malaysian cooking... It is a rare treat that she's chosen to share them." – Grace Dent, restaurant critic for the Guardian

A soulful tribute to Malaysian cuisine, from snacks, soups and salads, to rice and noodle dishes, curries and sweet things.

Sambal Shiok is a brilliant collection of over 90 accessible recipes that were handed down from Mandy Yin’s mother as well as those that she has developed for her critically acclaimed, award-winning London restaurant. The recipes – such as her signature curry laksa, Penang assam laksa, Malaysian fried chicken, prawn fritters, spiral curry puffs, flaky roti canai, beef rendang, KL golden fragrant clams, sambal mapo tofu, and the perfect steamed rice – can be made for a weekday family meal, a dinner party or celebration.

Malaysian food results from the unique merger over centuries of indigenous Malay ingredients with Indian spices and Chinese techniques. Every dish delicately balances sweet, sour, salty with chilli heat and a hint of bitter. With Mandy’s evocative look at Malaysian food culture, her recipes, and the basics of a Malaysian pantry (shrimp paste, lemongrass, tamarind and coconut milk), you can easily enjoy the most delicious Malaysian meals at home.aysian meals at home.

From the Publisher

From the author:

"In this book, my aim is to highlight a cross- section of Malaysian cooking: Malay, Indian, Chinese, Peranakan and tribal Iban. Much like the food I cook at my London restaurant, Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar, I want to celebrate the diversity of the country and its people. This book showcases a selection of Malaysian- inspired recipes from snacks, pickles and salads, to noodle soups, rice dishes, curries and sweet delights.

The recipes include many family stalwarts together with those that I have developed for the restaurant. They can be used for weekday family meals, dinner parties or celebrations. Malaysians love to celebrate any occasion and we don’t need much of an excuse for a feast!"

Recipes include:


Satay Burgers	Chicken and Garlic Noodle Soup	Golden Fragrant Prawns


Sambal Mapo Tofu	Spiral Curry Puffs	Coconut Pudding with Salted Banana Caramel

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Vibrant, face-slapping laksa... powerful, satisfying, the very stuff of memories." ? Jay Rayner, restaurant critic for the Observer

"Mandy's food is real, wonderful, exciting, classic and contemporary all at the same time. To know and understand the secrets of great Malaysian food as cooked and orchestrated by Mandy would be a revelation for anyone from budding amateur to the most experienced cooks." ? John Torode

""Sambal Shiok is a place of joy and great cooking. A beautiful thing to have in London and a wonder to have at my own back door." ? Giles Coren, restaurant critic for The Times,

"

"It takes something rather special to drag me up to the Holloway Road on a chill Wednesday night. At Sambal Shiok, the laksas are magnificent: murky with profoundly fish depth and a base chilli grunt." ? Tom Parker Bowles, restaurant critic for the Mail on Sunday

""Sambal Shiok's signature laksa has queues waiting around the block. Not bad for a tiny joint in N7... It's Holloway's hottest ticket!" ? Susannah Butler, Life Style Evening Standard,

About the Author

Mandy Yin is Malaysian-born Chinese of Peranakan Nyonya heritage. She moved from Kuala Lumpur to London at 11 and later studied and practiced corporate law. She eventually gave this up for a career in food. Mandy watched her mother cook all the family dishes they'd eaten for years and meticulously wrote down every step. She combined this knowledge of the fundamentals of Malaysian cuisine – its mind-boggling array of snacks, sharing dishes, slow-cooked curries and stews, strong spices and deep flavors, famous spicy laksa noodle soup and the nation's beloved sambal chilli sauce – with her memories of boisterous, hot hawker centers in Kuala Lumpur. Now, she owns and runs cult restaurant Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar in London and is regularly featured in the national press.

Mandy's life goal is to showcase the exciting variety of Malaysian food. She hopes that this book will inspire many to cook Malaysian dishes, to seek out and eat Malaysian food wherever the reader is in the world and, finally, to travel to Malaysia to fully understand and experience the richness of its cuisine and culture. For fellow Malaysians, she hopes that you will find great comfort in these pages, as she did recreating nostalgic tastes whilst writing this book during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns.

Mandy Yin is Malaysian-born Chinese of Peranakan Nyonya heritage. She moved from Kuala Lumpur to London at 11 and later studied and practised corporate law. She eventually gave this up for a career in food.

Her life goal is to showcase Malaysian food whilst being accessible to all. Spicy, powerful flavours are her calling card.

Mandy started off small with a street food stall in 2013 before pursuing her laksa bar as a pop up concept. She has steadily built a loyal following for her unique dishes, drawing on her food memories of growing up in Kuala Lumpur mixed in with her London favourites and travel inspirations.

After a series of sell-out runs for her pop up laksa bar across London, Mandy opened her flagship restaurant in Highbury in 2018 to critical acclaim for her signature Peranakan Nyonya curry laksa. Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar has gone on to achieve cult, award-winning status.

The first print of her debut book, Sambal Shiok: The Malaysian Cookbook sold out in less than two months of release in 2021 and has been nominated for several food writing awards (Fortnum and Masons, Guild of Food Writers, Andre Simon).

Mandy is regularly featured in the national press and TV.

Fantastic, delicious Malaysian recipes!

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

I am so pleased that I found this book! After previously having lived in Malaysia for a few years, we are always seeking out delicious Malaysian food. This book definitely does not disappoint. It is so great to be able to make these incredible dishes at home & achieve the authentic Malaysian flavours. The meals we’ve tried so far have been easy to make. The hints/tips/veggie alternatives are super useful. I’m sure we’ll also try some the recommended places to eat next time we visit Malaysia. I couldn’t recommend this book more!

This is my favorite cookbook in a long time! Mandy writes such delicious and flexible recipes. She offers substitutions for different dietary needs and encourages you to experiment and make it yours, from adjusting spice levels to trying different meats and/or vegetables. The dishes I have made have been huge hits in my house. This is really a wonderful, wonderful cookbook!

But how is the sambal recipe?

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024

It's probably more than fair for a cookbook titled "Sambal Shiok" to be judged on the basis of its sambal recipe. There is indeed one under the Nasi Lemak entry. Known as Sambal Tumis or "basic sambal" it isn't nearly as prominent and conspicuous as it should be. But it is damn good. Sure you have to make adjustments to the salt and sugar content by tasting it but of all the Southeast Asian cookbooks I have, this is the closest to the flavor on the streets. This tells me that the author actually worked hard to nail these recipes rather than just phone in approximations. 100% recommended.

WonderFull flavors, excellent selection of recipes, a deep dive into the food ways of Malaysia

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022

Each recipe is thoroughly tested and selected carefully which I find is one of the most challenging feats to do in a cookbook format, particularly for a cuisine as layered and complex as this. The book masterfully weaves personal stories and myriad flavors, people’s, and geography that makes up Malaysian cuisine. Deep and satisfying it will stand as a gem and gateway for people interested in flavors which encompass Chinese, Indian, & Thai, but is markedly it’s own thing.

Recipes are off

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

The filling for the spiral curry puffs had so much salt in it it was inedible. I was on autopilot when I followed the recipe and realized later too late the 1.5 tbsp salt did not make any sense at all, and I had to chuck the whole thing. I also tried her curry kapitan and it did not have all the normal aromatics essential to the dish. You are much better off cooking from Ping Coombes' Malaysian cookbook. Her recipes are much more authentic and delicious and don't have basic mistakes like way too much salt! I would have given this a rating of zero stars if I could. I grew up in Malaysia and was very excited about trying a new Malaysian cookbook but this was very disappointing.

I have made a few recipes so far as I explore Malaysian cooking but… I wish the names of the dishes in Malay were included with the recipes. Next edition?
