Lydia Teh 

Lydia Teh is as Malaysian as nasi lemak, char kuay teow and roti canai. Born and raised in Klang, which is about an hour’s drive from the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, she still lives in this royal town which is known for its bah-kut-teh: herbal stewed pork consumed with copious amounts of Chinese tea.   

In between cooking, chauffeuring and caring for the children, she managed to complete a writing correspondence course which started her on a journey of writing. She has written for newspapers such as The Star and The New Straits Times, websites such as e-homemakers and Women’s International Net as well as magazines such as Her World and Good Living Magazine.

She has written seven books including the bestselling Honk! If You’re Malaysian which occupied permanent residence status on the best sellers’ lists for almost a year and the latest, a comic titled The Wordy Tales of Eh Poh Nim #1 Big Bertha Meets Eh Poh Nim.

She is also a columnist at theSun newspaper. Family Teh Time with Lydia Teh appears every Tuesday.
