You’ll find me in the kitchen at parties

September 5, 2011 My story

Do you like parties? I’m not talking about the kind of parties where you slip on a little black dress for nightclubs, take shots off a girl’s belly and swing under a disco ball (do those things still exist?).  I’m talking about big, celebratory events like birthday parties, graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. [...]

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 [...]

Foodbuzz 24 x 24: 5 Pies, 1 Hand, Much Booze

Privileged

April 8, 2011 eating out

I’ve been feeling blue lately. I don’t know why but I’ve been hit by a disease called lethargy and I just don’t feel like doing anything recently. My sleep schedule is messed up; I’ve been sleeping too much and my head is pounding all the time from it. All I want is to lie in [...]
