“Natutuwa kami sa pagbabalik ng Kusina ni Mamang dahil napakarami pa kaming mas masasarap pa na lulutuin. At syempre, excited din kami sa mga special guests na makakasama naming magluto. Kakaiba din ang bagong segment namin na sasagutin namin ang requests ng mga letter senders, kaya talagang kaabang-abang ang mga bonggang ihahain namin para sa mga manonood,” Pokwang shares
