Never heard of this one but it makes sense! I have a granite mortar and pestle that I keep apart for practical storage reasons and some days I feel like the mortar is telling me it misses the pestle. (It originally belonged to my grandmother who always keep them together)
P.S. I assume you're Indonesian/Malaysian/Singaporean?
Yeah in my childhood the M&P was never seen separated... I'm
Singaporean. Nonya grandmother was from Malacca though.
