  "account": "Anugerah Murni Sabta and Aqid Aiman Azmi, a couple from Singapore, have made it their mission to preserve and promote the country's food heritage through their platform, Sendok Rakyat. The duo runs workshops, walks and gatherings that encourage participants to experience food heritage through shared stories and everyday cooking. One such workshop is their nasi ulam session, where participants learn about the traditional Southeast Asian herbal rice dish and its significance. The couple, who bonded over their shared interest in local food, now aims to explore how food can lead people to deeper conversations about identity, belonging and community. Anugerah's personal journey with food is deeply intertwined with her experiences growing up in a transitional shelter, where she learned to appreciate the love and effort that went into preparing simple yet comforting dishes. Through Sendok Rakyat, the couple hopes to make traditional Malay dishes accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances.",
