I know what it is!!! The nyonya thingy right? the filling is like popiah filling..yum yum! with a [...]

I was at lunch with Johnny and Sherms the other week, and they were commenting on how much both Ingrid and I are such social media and “connected” people, and asked how many different channels of communication we have with each other.
