It’s safe to say that one of the few truly uniting factors for Malaysians is our pride in our food. But how much do we, and the rest of the world, really know about where our food comes from?

Jeslyn Ooi Shiyun, founder of Happy Dumpy, creates unique and functional gifts all based on our local cuisine, and shares her passion for storytelling and creativity, as well as her focus on supporting local suppliers and her shift to e-commerce during the pandemic.
