Our guest on the show this week is Fay Cheng, who started Myat & Potatoes, an online kitchen where you can get amazing Burmese food. Fay started Myat & Potatoes as an initiative to help out her Burmese cooks and staff members to earn some side income during a time when many have lost their jobs. And through it, they are really sharing their underrepresented cuisine across the Klang Valley, winning hearts with iconic Burmese dishes like mohinga and lahpet thoke.
