A Mexican Gingerbread House Discovery

January 9, 2012 eating out

It’s a good thing it doesn’t snow here in Los Angeles. First of all, people in L.A. tend to freak out if the temperature dips below 60 degrees. I’ve only lived here for three years, and I’m already spoiled rotten by its mild weather. I never want to leave this sunny, semi-arid la-la land, and [...]

Korean Candied Sweet Potatoes

December 28, 2011 My story

When I was young and growing up in Singapore, there were always a few days in the week in which my parents left my siblings and me at home to attend church services or visit a congregant in need. They would assign us some “homework” to do, and remind us to tuck into bed by [...]

No Regrets: Live, Laugh, Eat.

September 22, 2011 dinner event

I’ve been watching a Canadian TV show lately called “Being Erica.” (Photo Credit to Miquiel Banks) I know what you’re thinking. What good can come from Canada? But this show is actually pretty good (And Canadians are awesome by the way, so throw away the superiority, fellow Americans). The main character, obviously named Erica, is [...]

Boys Have Cooties

September 14, 2011 dinner event

It seems like every girl is having guy problems these days. Just in the past two weeks, I’ve heard from at least five of my (girl)friends bemoaning a guy for sending mixed messages. “Why didn’t he ask me out?” “Why didn’t he call?” “What did he mean by that?” Relationships are complicated. But when it [...]

Cross Bites with a Cross-Cultural Couple

August 17, 2011 blog meet-up

My posts have been more culturally-heavy these days, and there’s a reason why. This semester, I’ll be writing a weekly column called “Cross Bites” for my college newspaper, The Daily Trojan. Why “Cross Bites?” Because it’s about cuisines or places that have cross-cultural influences. As a double-major in print journalism and East Asian language and [...]

Jane Eats Real Food

July 19, 2011 eating out

I haven’t done Jane enough justice. I have yet to introduce her as the true friend she is. Now that she’s gone (she just left today afternoon), I can fully draw out the history of our friendship without embarrassing her. I don’t keep in touch with a lot of my high school friends. Some of [...]
