The tight bond between Marina Mustafa and her childhood friend Chong Woon Lee is evident from the moment you set eyes on the pair. They share a close, easy relationship – one that has clearly been formed from years of knowing each other. And they laugh together – a lot!
“We have known each other for about 40 years, dating back to primary school in Kuantan. Both of us also went to Perth together for six or seven years and did our tertiary education, so we’ve got a long history. And it’s so funny – being homesick students, our lives in Perth were really wrapped around food,” reminisces Chong, about her long-standing foodie friendship with Marina.
