[Yuna](https://yunamusic.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org) is an internationally acclaimed R&B pop star, born and raised in Malaysia. But after a decade of living in LA, and missing her mother’s homemade nasi lemak and banana leaf rice, she and her husband finally succumbed to learning to cook the Malaysian dishes they miss most!

Award-winning London chef and cookbook author [Mandy Yi ](https://www.instagram.com/sambalshiok/?hl=en&ref=cascadepbs.org)says it’s common to eat six meals a day in Malaysia, and walks us through a day of meals, snacks, street food and night markets.

Yuna talks about what it was like trying to get a record deal, as a Muslim woman who wears a hijab, and she shares a hilarious story about how a late night snack attack nearly got her into deep trouble with the Canadian government.
