Malaysian great-grandmother uses a 100YO pot pie recipe for Christmas


It certainly seems like the most wonderful time of the year in the home of Irene Hendroff and her family in Taman England, Seremban in Negri Sembilan. With just three days to Christmas, the Hendroff household is a hive of activity with Christmas preperations in high gear.
