Cafepek was born out of a common love for food, but more importantly, a love for cooking together.
We’re Peklyn and Peiching, sisters who have inherited the love for good food, and the love for cooking together. We grew up among cookbooks with a great mum who cooked everyday, and while we’re no Masterchef, we like to think that we have certainly grown well beyond our masak-masak days.
Cooking together is one of the activities we think has been lost in a world where food deliveries support our laziness to get busy in the kitchen. True, it may be that we are physically exhausted from a long day at school/work, but the joy of cooking together with family makes it all worth it.
Cafepek started off as a simple recipe index for our favorite food. We cook everything East to West, and sweet to savoury. Here you will find some of our favorite recipes - the ones we cook a mountain of because we know it'll be gone in 5 minutes (hence we do not publish serving sizes), and the ones we're constantly thinking about during boring meetings (oh come on, you think about food too). But even today, we know this is more than a recipe index. It's a tribute to mum for her good cooking, a log of good sibling memories, and a reminder that cooking is so much more than a chore.
