Put down the suka.

Stop Watering Your Spring Rolls: A Lesson in Mismatched Fixes

We’ve all been there. You’re at a party, it’s 3 PM, and the lumpia (spring roll) on your plate looks... sad. It’s dry. It’s crispy in a dusty, throat-catching way. It’s uhaw (thirsty). And that’s the point of the joke
