We are the Po family! I'm Cathy and my husband Mel, we have 4 children, and all are boys but only 3 of them are living with us. Our oldest son is out of our nest already, while my other boys are still schooling. My first born is a chef, my second son wants to be a pilot, my third son is shy but has an amazing voice and potential to be a singer, and my youngest is a very bright and independent kid. My husband and I run our home-based business. I love to cook and bake, so when you come and stay with us you'll see our home has two big kitchen. We do have our helpers to assist you in your stay as well if you need anything. We often have visitors in our home because I and Mel is part of an organization that helps to raise funds for other charitable institutions. Most of our friends from our church loves my cooking, we do have a unique foodie experience that we offer in our home, there's no need to go outside of the house to go to a restaurant.
Our home is in a safe community inside a subdivision. Our house is spacious, it has about five bedrooms that can accommodate families or group of friends or for couples. We have a living room and a common area where you can stay and cozy up, especially on a rainy day. You can also go outside to the garden, we plant some vegetables there that we use everyday. You can also take a walk or jog around the village early morning or in the afternoon. It really is a nice community, we're near shopping centers and schools as well.
