Flavors of Sarawak: Exploring Authentic Home-Cooked Recipes Through A Mobile Application
Abstract
This project delves into the exploration of authentic home-cooked recipes from Sarawak, presented through a mobile application with augmented reality features. The motivation is to showcase the rich and diverse Flavours of Sarawak's culinary traditions, with a primary focus on ensuring a user-friendly and engaging experience for the audience. Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology was utilized, which consists of four (4) main phases: Requirements Planning, User Design, Construction, and Cutover. The outcome of the study: it was found that the Flavours of Sarawak mobile application received a commendable average SUS score of 80.4, indicating a strong level of usability and user satisfaction. This score surpasses the threshold for an above-average user experience, reinforcing the application’s success in effectively promoting awareness of Sarawak's diverse flavors. The high SUS score also suggests the application’s potential to engage users and convey essential information about Sarawak's culinary heritage in an accessible manner. In terms of future work(s), the inclusion of more food models, particularly those showcasing iconic Sarawak dishes like "Kek Lapis Sarawak," aims to attract more users and foster an increased interest in exploring various facets of Sarawak's culinary traditions.
