To get her beef rendang ready for Hari Raya Aidilfitri today, Ms Norkhatilah Maricar stood over a pot on high heat yesterday, watching and stirring the spicy meat dish for three hours.
It was an enjoyable task for the 43-year-old executive secretary at a law firm because it was a chance to share her love of traditions, especially food, with her three sons and other loved ones.
