Result of the 4 basic tastes coming together on the taste buds
We taste as individual notes – or as a concert
Tastes affect other tastes - Bitterness suppresses sweetness
 Saltiness stimulates the appetite
Sweetness suppresses the appetite

Sweetness provides balance and roundness 
Sweetness can work with bitterness and sourness – sometimes saltiness
Sweetness can bring out the flavours of other ingredients such as fruits and mint.

Cleansing taste – makes you want the next bite…

Is it just taste?
Flavour = Aroma+ Taste + Mouth-feel  + The “X” Factor

Many approaches
Savoury foods - Balance between acid, fat, salt & sugar
Sweet foods – too sweet – not enough acid balance – needs fat and a little salt
Salt & pastry – brings out the flavour

Masala dosa. Crispy, historical dish, long standing cultural and emotional relevance. Grandmothers habituated to making it every Sunday for family.

The sambal chilli gave the mixture of sweet and spicy burning sensation. The coconut flavour in the rice.😘 Brings back time when my maid or grandma would always cook it for me after my exams.

I hated the texture of the rice pudding its self, but loved the cinnamon on top, and didn't want to disappoint my grandma. So I would force myself to eat it.

This, combined with the sight of fresh ingredients and the smell of sizzling oil and garlic, were the true key ingredients to making the best food.

Nothing special, just a boiled chicken.


My father always made this dish for our family when it is blazing cold.


To me, it's not just boiled chicken, but his love.
