And it’s also no surprise that he’s had a lot of experience in doing live sales.

Notably, last year when he helped struggling entrepreneur’s cause of COVID-19 to sell their wares online.

Now, he frequently does live promotions and sales over on his own Facebook page, selling almost anything you can think of.

However, that’s not stopping Joanne Peh from bringing a bit of Guangzhou here.

Along with chef Anthony Pangetsu, the actress has made a variety of pastries for the season, ranging from shortbreads to pineapple tarts.
