🍜 Warning: this book talk might make you hungry 🤤

We’re so excited to host Janet Tay, author of Early Mornings at the Laksa Cafe (one of the first internationally published Southeast Asian cozy books about food)!

In this mouthwatering, slice-of-life novel, we follow an aging Sarawak laksa store owner, Ah Hock, who — with his magic ancestral broth — serves the best laksa in town. But Ah Hock isn’t getting any younger, and his estranged son, Wei Ming, has no interest in taking over having spent years working as a chef in Hong Kong...

Join us for a book talk with author Janet Tay in-conversation with Sarawakian digital creator and actress Maddy Breteche! Special thanks to Kinokuniya Singapore for hosting the event.
