Ole Mole!

November 2, 2011 blog meet-up

The first Mexican literature I’ve ever read is “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel. (Picture credit) I loved this novel. I had just moved to the United States from Singapore, and it was the first time I got introduced to Mexican food. It’s kind of a running theme for me to be introduced to [...]

Pigeon Food with My Parents

October 13, 2011 eating out

My parents are the most adorable people ever. If there’s anything I did right, it’s to be born as their daughter. I am proud to be the daughter of missionaries. And not just any missionaries, but missionaries to the Chinese people. However, because they are around Chinese people 24/7, my parents never get the chance [...]

His.Story.

October 4, 2011 eating out

History. It’s a strange, wonderful thing. I like to think of it as a combination of the two words “his” and “story.” We have a story. The person next to us has a story. The person 5,000 miles from us has a story. That tree behind your yard has a story. The place, the city, [...]

Mission Impossible: $300, five stomachs, one P.F. Chang’s

September 2, 2011 dinner event

I remember when I first visited a Chinese restaurant in America. It was in New Jersey, and I was 12. At the time, I hadn’t emigrated to America yet; I was merely accompanying my parents to their mission trip in America, and I was in New Jersey visiting my then pen pal, Joanna. Joanna’s mother [...]

Yujean Kang’s: A 10-course, 5-hour gastronomical extravaganza

August 13, 2011 blog meet-up

I called my mother almost every night this week, half-singing with glee. “Guess what I did today!” I would yelp happily. I think I really need to be in a Glee Club, because these days there are so many instances when I just want to break out into a song and start dancing. And most [...]

I’m a legit Lady now!

August 9, 2011 Los Angeles

I went to the hair salon yesterday. And I felt like a barbarian entering a cosmopolitan, civilized world. Okay, visiting a hair salon probably is a regular thing for some of you, but it was the first time I visited a professional hair salon by myself without my mom or aunt to decide everything for [...]
