00:09 Since moving to Ballarat four years ago,

00:12 and yeah, when I start knowing people here

00:16 and also the community around here,

00:18 it's been so much, so amazing experience.

00:23 These people in Ballarat are just very supportive,

00:26 very kind, and yeah,

00:28 you never get this kind of experience elsewhere.

00:31 [Music]

00:34 I want the city to look more vibes,

00:37 which is, you know, it's not only,

00:39 when you're thinking about Balarat people,

00:41 like it's very retirement place or something like that.

00:44 We want it to be like an old ages,

00:46 healthier, and then, you know,

00:48 enjoying a local business, local foods.

00:51 And I want it Ballarat to be more,

00:53 oh yeah, a little bit slightly like a piece of Melbourne, I guess.

00:57 And where, you know, I want it to be the foods here,

01:00 we got lots of culture, you know,

01:02 different type of food that we can experience as well.

01:04 So I think hopefully in 10 years, right.

01:09 I'm very focused in what I want to bring it to Ballarat community.

01:16 When I say about flavours, I mean it.

01:19 It's a very serious one.

01:21 That because I want people to experience it,

01:23 it's what they will experience if they're back home to Malaysia or to Indonesia.

01:29 So to bring the authenticity in Ballarat,

01:31 I suppose, more important to me than ever.
