So, today, we are going to be trying Malaysian snacks. Malaysian snacks. So this is all the snacks that Auntie grew up eating. Oh, okay. Yes. When I used to go to high school, which was a very long time ago, I used to eat these snacks when I was in school with my school friends. Okay! ah, Yes. So, pick one. Okay. Um, this looks interesting. This monster... Mammee Monster Noodle Snack! Yeah. Good choice, good choice. Okay! I'm glad you start with that one. You've got good taste. Okayyy! I always knew we're going to be best friend, ah? Okay, so what you do is you crack a little bit first because it's like a ramen noodle inside. Oh! So you just squish a little bit. Oh, uh huh.

We need scissors. Ohhh! We need scissors. Aiyah! Aye! Mammee Monster Noodle Snack! You all pull your packaging, ah, too good, ah. Your packaging is too good. Cannot even open. Okay.

[2:40]Mhmm. It's really good. You actually don't need the the seasoning. Also, you can just eat by itself. I was going to say, this is just really good regardless. I often do. Without the seasoning. Mhmm. Okay. So you must say, ah, sedap. Yeah. So, sedap means delicious in Malay. Mhmm. One more time. Sedap. Yeah! Very good. Very good. Sedap. Yeah, very good. So I want to ask you a question, ah, because some of my people want to know, what inspired you to be a K-pop idol and singer? Mm. Well, back in 2008, my best friend, who's been my best friend for over ten years now, over half of our lives, basically, she introduced me to K-Pop and I fell in love with it immediately. And I was like, you know what? This is what I want to do. Beep beep. Hey, shut up! Cannot see people recording, ah? Ayoh, so rude. Anyways, continue. Anyways, I love singing, I love dancing, and K-Pop is both of those combined and more. So, yeah, I think that's just really where I got my inspiration from and originally just my best friend. Oh, okay. So you started watching it, right? Yes. And then I started doing dance covers online, made a bit of a fan base, and then my company found me. Oooohhhhhhh. Very good. Thank you. So you start small and then now you big. I mean, not not that big. No, lah, I don't be so humble, ah. You big already. Getting bigger. She very big now, don't listen to her. She's too humble for her own good, ah. Good, good. Very good. Very good. That's a very good story, actually. Thank you. Very inspirational for all you young people out there. Okay. Remember, ah, what she said, ah. Snack time! Please choose another one. Okay. So I'm not going to lie, I've had this before. Oh, really? And I really like it. Really? You have had the Apollo Pandan flavoured layer cake. The Pandan flavoured layer cake. It's so good. Oh, my goodness. I used to have this all the time when I was young, ah. Oyoh, my goodness, they're so good. I used to eat like twelve, ten of this in one go, you know. It's so easy to eat. We say as we struggle to open it. Easy to eat! Easy to eat, not easy to open. There we go. Nobody saw that. Cheers. Pandan cake cheers.
[5:05]Mhmm. This is so [ballsack] good, man. Oh, I just said a really bad word. All you young children, turn away, please. Close your ears, and, uh, maybe your eyes also. Close your eyes and your ears. Don't eat this if you're wearing nice clothes, ah. It will get all over your clothes. Mhmm. It's a good time. Mhmm. Next question. Ah, very interesting one. Mhmm. Who are some of your favourite K-pop idols? This is a rather easy question for me. Okay. So, there's a handful that I really love, but if I had to name like my top two, one being, this awesome singer called Hyuna. I know, this one I know. Auntie knows Hyuna. Yes, I know. This one I know. Oh, my God. Yes, woo! Yes! I love Hyuna. And then the next one would be a male artist named Taemin. Also I know, yes! [Concoction of words] Waah. Taemin, very the [handsome man], ah. Yes. **Evil laughs** But they're two of the favorite artists that I really look up to in the industry. Yes. Hyuna, the very beautiful. So pretty. Taemin, the very handsome man. So what do you like about Hyuna and Taemin? Well, with Hyuna, she has such incredible stage presence. Like, it doesn't matter how many dancers she has on stage. You're always going to watch her. Like, she's so so good at performing and expressing. I don't know. And then with Taemin, he's such an incredible dancer. Like, one of the best. Dare I say, if not the best dancer in the industry. Yeah. Oh, it's all about the pelvic truss. All your young children, please look away. Cover your eyes and your ears. But no, good, I agree. I agree. They are very good. Yes. It's very true. Okay, please. Choose another snack before I bang, bang, bang my heart out. So I've never seen these before. Oh, yes. Yes. Iced gems? All my Malaysians! Where are youuuu? All my Malaysians! Yes. This is called, actually, I don't even know what this is called. I don't even know what this is called. I just call them the biscuit with the thing on top. The biscuit with the thing on top. But apparently, as I just found out today, they are called Ice Gems biscuit. Mhm. Ice gem biscuit. I know that is very, very good. I used to eat this all the time. I like it so much, but my mother say, no! Cannot! Why, why, why, why? Because it got cancer and well, no, I will give you cancer because of all the preservative that pesticides and everything and artificial flavors gave you cancer. But no, lah, no such thing. I've been eating all these years, still, still very sane. We're good. Yeah. I trust these. I trust them. Yes. Okay. So, whoa. Okay. Oh, there's a pink one on top. Oh, yes, I have a green one. Cheers. Cheers. Okay. Hmm. **Milk cow noises** You know what I mean? It's like icing sugar thing on top. They're very crunchy. Good for the ASMR. Yeah. Where did our brains go to the same thing? I don't know. Same wavelength today? Yes. Next question. Emm, because your skin is so nice. Oh! And you are so beautiful and so fair. You know? What is the secret to your beauty? I'm sure we all want to know. Thank you, Auntie Kia. First and foremost, I think just drink a lot of water. Yes. Arrrhhhh, yes. You see? Drink water. Solve all your problems, but also for skin use products with like snail essence or snail, mmm, yes. It's really good for your skin and it helps fight against like scars, for acne, or any kind of discoloration. Exfoliate at least two times a week. Oh, yes. Very important. Because your skin cell turnover rate, you got to keep that up, you know? So exfoliate at least two times a week with a gentle, gentle exfoliator. Don't put like rock salt on your face. Like, that's not good for you. I mean, unless you like the pain, but still don't do it. It's not worth it. It's not. Your skin's going to hate you for it. So it's not worth it. They don't do it. No. Yeah. Can you walk us through some of your favorite products? Actually, do you use K-products? I do use K-products. Okay. So maybe one or two of your favorite K products? Skin care. So, yes, as we all know, sheet masks are a thing and they're very big in Korea. I like to use ones specifically that have honey extract or pomegranate or aloe vera. Oohhhwa. The brand? Honestly, just any brand will do. I mean, Innisfree has good ones. If not Innisfree, then anything from your local Olive Young. It's also really good. Yeah. Okay. Excellent. Next snack. I feel like this is begging to be opened right now. I think maybe we're going to go with the Twisters. The Twisters. Have you had them before? I've had normal Twisters, but not flavored Twisters. Oh, I didn't realize they were flavored. Flavoured Twisters! Okay, Twisters time. Just so you know, this is a cheese flavored Twister. Oh, it's got a smell to it. Mhmm. It's good. That is good. We know what this is really good for? To drink with Soju. Ahhhh! There we go, a little bit of culture mixing there. Come on, Soju. Let's go Soju. I feel like I don't even know if this is Malaysian. I'm pretty sure it's not Malaysian, but Malaysian kids eat this all the time. Well, if it's popular, Malaysia, might as well consider it honorary Malaysian product. Yes, it's very popular in Malaysia. When I was in high school, I used to eat it all the time. Next question, after question. Okay. What is your favorite food? Hmm. I know these are very difficult question because we are both Asian, okay? Asking us to pick one food that is extra special is like asking us to pick which parent we like more. My mom. So. If I had to be like stuck on an island with only one food, I think the food would honestly be like, Mala Xiang Guo. Oh, what is that? So like, do you know what malatang is? Yes, yes, I know. So like instead of the soup, it's just like a stir fry version. All dry. Yeah, dry. Mala Xiang Guo. Yeah. The concentrated soup, right? Yes. But they make it very dry. Yes. Mhmm. Is it like gravy, ah? It's like is it saucy? Saucy. Yeah, saucy. Stir-fried noodles and like vegetables. Like bok choy, like cabbage and everything. Like some nice enoki mushrooms. I got to tell you, you had me at bok choy. The second she said bok choy, I'm like, oh, had me, man. It's good. It's good. What's your second favorite? Probably just kimchi jjigae. Ahhh. I love it. Can't go wrong. You cannot go wrong. That is truly one of the food, you can have it at any time of the day, at any time of the day. I was about to say something very naughty, but thank you for answering that question. We have one more snack to try. Yes. We actually have something similar to this in Korea, I think. It's a little rice cracker? Yes, it is. It's a rice cracker. It's so Asian. Can you get any more Asian than this? And this, you tell me, ayoh. It's very good. Very dry, but very good. Oh, but it's so addictive. Once you have one, you must have another and another and another and another. Oh, my favorite question. How do you prepare before going on stage? Mm. Okay. So, ever since I was in middle school, and I did poms, so it's kind of like cheerleading, but not really. Yes. Yes. My team would always have this chant we did before we went on stage. I do that by myself, and then with my dancers, we have like a little like, little like, let's go kind of thing that we do. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We always do that before we go on stage. To hype you up. Exactly. So if we don't do that, then the show is not going to go well. You have to do these things. It's like a jinx thing. Like, you have to do it or you're going to jinx yourself. Mmm. Yeah, I understand. When I used to do a lot of shows, I also used to do that. Ohhh. Auntie did shows? Yeah. Yes, Auntie do shows. Yes. Still doing shows every night on Saturdays. On Saturdays. Catch her at the club. Okay. I tend to also like time to myself and I run through the different songs in my head by myself just to mark everything. And then once I feel comfortable, headphones out, and then I join the dancers for a little chant. Ah, okay. That's a very good. That's very good. Well, it must be working because all of your performances have been killer. Thank you so much. Yes, have been very killer. I have been watching you. It has all been very good. So whatever you are doing, you keep doing more of it. Thank you so much. For joining me on this show. I hope you have enjoyed the little snacks that we have going on here.
