Syaf Kun, or Muhammad Syafiq, is returning for the fifth year with a new concept of food, inspired by his travels to popular cities in Indonesia, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

The food recipes were collected from Jakarta to Bandung, from Haadyai to Bangkok, and finally, to London. Syaf Kun promises more of everything, more lifehacks, surprises, food, and fun, and he delivers.

Syaf Kun explores and experiments with flavour combinations. For instance, he makes traditional dish Roti Jala by adding chocolate powder to the batter, and the result is Roti Jala Chocolate.

His page is filled with colourful and flavourful dishes that you want to recreate in your kitchen to whet your appetite after a long day of fasting.

Try his easy-to-do Indonesian Rolled Eggs, Samyang Theokbokki, and Strawberry Sorbet for a change in the tastebuds, or local dishes like Crispy Skin Sambal, Kuey Tiow Kerang, and Udang Goreng Kunyit.
