Growing up, Zander Ng remembers watching hawkers grill otah-otah in large batches over charcoal. “The smell of the otah paste and banana leaf as it starts to char, followed soon by the mountain of banana leaf wrappers and toothpicks piled high after a good meal. They are one of my favourite side dishes until this day and I plan to present it in a powerful and ‘wow’ kind of way,” he shares.
