During the pandemic Carmina had friends she has known since they we're in high school being a bit older than them.
People tend to have a lot of time to find and reconnect with old friends you have known years ago living in California.
Carmina's old friends have informed her no matter what name you have in your social media your face still looks the same when they first meant you years ago.
Carmina's friend had informed her that he was opening another branch of Ima's Homemade Filipino Cuisine and Traditional Desserts in Hayward sharing how the inside will look while establishing the place.

The banana turon is crispy yet it is kept their texture where you bite in and wonder what their secret is to make it the way they make it.
Sapin Sapin is not sweet, and you know why it is their best seller.
