Yes, I do have that book. The recipe for "Kevin's" chicken is what
interested me in making a Malaysian-themed Christmas menu in the first
place. The attributions for the menu are as follows:

peppered tamarind broth: _Terrific Pacific_
pomelo salad with grilled shrimp and crispy shallots: _Terrific Pacific_

Penang "Kevin's" roasted chicken with butter, onions, and potatoes: _Cradle
of Flavor_
curried green beans with coconut milk: _Cradle of Flavor_
sweet-sour cucumber and carrot pickle with turmeric: _Joy of Pickling_
lime-chile "Nyonya" sambal: _Cradle of Flavor_
jasmine rice

Indonesian spice cake (nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon): _Miami Spice_
passionfruit sorbet -- winging it
