Prisha – Wide-eyed with wonder, curiously playful and opposite of a teacher’s pet. Always looking forward to her after-school ais krim roti. Unknowingly teaches adults that life is about simple pleasures.
Syarinah – Sarawakian, music masher, enthusiastic over tradition yet progressive-minded. Channels all her angsty teenage energy toward the uploading videos of her playing contemporary music with the traditional sape’.
Abang Ali – Full-time delivery guy, part-time neighbourhood celebrity. Holding packages gets him fans, yet ironically he’s the one always asking for your photograph and autograph.
Mr. Ong – Lion dance master, martial arts sifu and low-key national treasure. Keeps traditions alive, not realising he’s a part of why Malaysia stays truly Asia.
(special shoutout to our heroes during the pandemic!)
Cik Siti – Brave nurse, lover of life and passionate caregiver. Her sincere smile is a beacon in the darkest times.
Ramesh – Weekday 9 to 5-er, weekend animal rescuer. A humble hero with a heart of gold, championing the wellbeing of any and all strays.
Mr. Syed – Daily teh-o limau ais drinker and apartment protector. Guards his home away from home with a big smile on his face and his dapper white uniform. Might speak conversational Bahasa Malaysia better than you.
Encik Ramli – Professional patty flipper, beloved flavour-giver. Never listens to you whenever you say “no mayo”, yet still makes the best burgers ever.
Tan Chee Kong – Academic superstar and aspiring engineer, currently abroad while missing mee kari dearly. Only reason his CGPA is 4.0 is because 4.1 doesn’t exist.
Mama Savitri – Housewife, slipper-wielder, tough-lover but soft-hearted. Occasionally wakes up her three boys at 5am and tells them it’s already 7pm. Loves online shopping but not willing to pay for the RM6.50 postage.
