Nine student clubs at BYU–Hawaii celebrated this year’s food fest virtually by sharing recipes and demonstrating how to prepare their countries’ foods through video. BYUH Student Leadership & Service and the Media Production Team filmed the videos, which were published on the BYU–Hawaii YouTube channel in the Fall 2020 Semester.
Terrell Wu, a sophomore from Malaysia majoring in communications, represented the Singapore and Malaysia Club. He shared, “I felt very lucky to be able to present as Uncle Terrell for our traditional and cultural food from Singapore and Malaysia.”
