Lots of thing, most popular are bacon and egg rolls. I have to bake muffins, cakes and other pastries everyday. For my family I cook different soups, pastas, stews and cheesecake.

What's something positive you've witnessed or experienced since the coronavirus hit?
I feel like people show their best and worst in extreme circumstances and I'm grateful to see so many lovely people with positive attitude. I do appreciate the great support local people provide to small businesses like mine. We get so much attention and positive feedback everyday. It's very encouraging.
What have you learned about yourself amid the crisis?
Strong mindset and sanitiser are my best weapon. BTW we always had sanitisers everywhere in my shop but they never got noticed by customers till lately.
