Gavin Koh’s job as a medical researcher has taken him from the Philippines to Peru, but between sisig and ceviche, it was his grandmother’s cooking that he missed the most. Gavin’s desire to document and reproduce the dishes he grew up eating as a child, led him to fumigate whole apartment blocks with toasted belachan and to wake the neighbours with the sound of spices being pounded in a granite mortar. Out of this chaos, Agak-Agak, Chukop Rasa was born.
