Hebe Tien can’t resist Nyonya food

HEBE Tien (pic), one third of the Taiwanese girl group S.H.E., has professed her love for Nyonya cuisine, especially ondeh ondeh, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The singer was in Malaysia recently for an event by Oppo.

She posted several photos on her Facebook page of Malaysian treats she tried, such as nyonya kuih, nasi lemak, mango sticky rice, langsat, chicken wings and ondeh ondeh.

During an interview, she even jokingly expressed her wish to be a tourism ambassador for Malaysia.

Her recent world tour concert that spanned three years ended in September last year.

The group members celebrated their 17th anniversary and treated fans to a free concert in Taipei.

While their contract with HIM International Music ended last month, Tien said the trio would not disband. “We will be together forever,” she said.
