Saimin and plantation style cooking is simple, humble, food and was
developed by people with limited resources. The soup base is made by boiling
a few dried shrimp in water and seasoning it with salt and maybe a little
sugar. It's pretty much making something from nothing. I wouldn't know how
to make it nor would I want to try.

A tourist would probably find our saimin to be bland and lacking in depth.
We find it so packed with memories and associations that it's practically
overwhelming.
