Avocados: From Grove to Store

March 5, 2013 blog meet-up

A couple weeks ago, my friend Hannah introduced me a TED talk with a scandalous title: “When Ideas Have Sex.” It’s a short clip, about 16 minutes long. We watched it together while sipping beer and munching oil-drizzled dolmas. I suggest you do that too, because the speaker, Matt Ridley, will bring a fascinating perspective [...]

We cruel, beautiful women

September 11, 2012 product review

I recently came across a spectacular book that left me stunned and meditative. I don’t smoke, but I felt like it was the perfect time to suck, with trembling fingers, into a cigarette, pondering what it all meant (Or maybe I’ve read too many Steig Larsson books.). Instead I lay on my bed with the [...]

What I read this summer

August 22, 2012 product review

If I had a magic lamp, I would first wish my genie was as cool and entertaining as Robin Williams’ version of the Genie in Aladdin. But my first wish would be to have the power to travel and freeze time. I would run back to summer of 2011 and slap my 2011 self awake [...]

Canadian Maple Peanut Butter Banana Cheerio Breakfast Bars

March 1, 2012 My story

When I was growing up in Singapore, my idea of the “typical American breakfast” was a grand affair. I had visions of buttermilk pancakes stacked high and drizzled with maple syrup that were oozing down with melted butter into a golden pool on a giant platter, served alongside with griddled sausage links, creamy scrambled eggs [...]

Why I just can’t quit blogging

February 15, 2012 Los Angeles

I’ve been debating quitting for months now. There are clear moments when the decision seems real and finalized: That’s it, I’m quitting right now, I tell myself with conviction. There are murky moments when I wonder if I should quit, and I weigh the pros and cons of blogging, mope a little bit, and tell [...]

Invitation to The Secret Fork

December 21, 2011 blog meet-up

I must have done something right, because I got invited to a secret event downtown last Saturday. Actually, okay, I didn’t do anything. My friend Marilyn, who works for LA Canvas, got the invitation and I tagged along as her plus-one. But no matter—it was a semi-private market situated at an undisclosed area very, very [...]
