On my trip to Malaysia, I went for an appointment in Kuala Lumpur. Since the troublesome driving experience where I got lost and took many wrong turns, I decided that I would not be driving to the city. So I had to rely on public transport. On the day of the appointment, my sister-in-law sent …
A savoury dish cleverly disguised as a cup cake.
