What’s Your Story? (Artisanal LA: Part I)

October 25, 2010 eating out

My favorite thing to write about isn’t food. Yes, food is great. I like making people drool. I like making people envision the sensual pleasure behind each graphic detail. But. There is only so much satisfaction gained from making people hungry. No, my favorite thing to write about is people. I love reading a good [...]

The Past

August 20, 2010 eating disorders

I left my parents at the airport on bad terms. It was such a sudden twist of mood—the whole family drove together in one car to Dulles Airport, enjoying the final moments together. And then we found out that one of my luggage was over the weight limit. The one with the three jars of [...]

July 14, 2010 dinner event

I’m confident in a lot of things…but beauty is not one of them. Okay, I’m so embarrassed to admit this—but hey, no matter what, I’m still a girl…and I’m vain as a peacock. Like everyone else, I like to look good. I like to get compliments from others. I want girls to look at me [...]

Luckiest Brat in the World

June 21, 2010 dinner event

Hello, hello! Guess where I am now? I’m in my Mother Country, Korea! I left Singapore last night and took an overnight flight with my parents to Incheon, and now we are spending a day here to recuperate before meeting my grandmother in Seoul, then traveling 4 hours down south to my “hometown” in Jeon-Ju.
