A story about a North Korean restaurant

February 21, 2013 eating out

Occasionally in your life, you meet people who immediately make your heart bleed with tenderness. I’ve met several people like that. Some of them, I got to know better. Others disappear after just a brief encounter. I wonder if you know what I’m talking about. They are people who for some reason, instantly fills you [...]

A 25-year-old Daughter

January 9, 2013 family

Northern Virginians driving through the streets of Vienna, Virginia, may have seen an Asian girl hopping and bopping on the sidewalks. That girl was me. Many times I walked those sidewalks with my earphones on, my iPhone blasting the top hit songs on Pandora. I sang at the top of my lungs to Taylor Swift’s [...]

I suck at hip hop (but I can eat a teenage ninja mutant dumpling)

October 22, 2012 eating out

Whenever I’m at my hip hop class, I feel like I’ve missed my calling. I love it so much. The class is about an hour-and-a-half long, two times a week. I look forward to it every weekend. My instructor, Bradley “Shooz” Rapier, is this super chill dude in his early 30s (or late 20s?) with [...]

Being and eating Asian in Los Angeles

July 19, 2012 blog meet-up

Chinese New Year without Hong Baos

January 30, 2012 dinner event

I miss a lot of things about Singapore, but one thing I’ve been missing, especially during this Chinese New Year season, is the hong baos. Hong bao—literally, “red package” (红包)— is a little red envelope that relatives and elders give to single people. They are filled with real CASH. In Korea, we call it “sae [...]

How a Real Woman Eats

November 22, 2011 eating out

I think I have a cure to L.A. traffic. Four foreign words: 포장마차 pronounced “pojang macha.” Pojang machas are these street stalls set up like big tents that weave the hustle-bustle streets in Korean cities. You can’t miss it, especially when the weather is cold and you get baited into the tent by the puff [...]
