The Turkey Always Looks Juicier on the Other Side

November 25, 2011 dinner event

There was an episode on Nip/Tuck (yes I like that show, don’t judge) where a beautiful model struts into a plastic surgery center asking for plastic surgery. (Picture credit from Entertainment Wallpapers) She’s stunning. She’s tall and skinny with curves at the right places. Her hair is shiny and her teeth is brilliant-white. There’s nothing [...]

Mother’s Stir-Fried Anchovies

October 31, 2011 family

I love my parents for being able to find joy and peace even in something as sad as death. They returned from my grandfather’s funeral in Korea last Friday, fatigued from double jet-lag but thankful for all the silver linings. Like all families, my mother’s family has their fair share of dramas and feuds. But [...]

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 [...]

HK Day Two: Sheltered and Stuffed

May 19, 2010 eating out

I’m sorry you’re not here in Hong Kong with me, I really am. It’s a great place for a food blogger— never-ending cheap, interesting, delicious foods, and so much walking that you are turned into a bottomless pit. No wonder the Hongkies love their food. And no wonder they are all so slender. My legs [...]

Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Korean Fusion Street Food BYOB

March 27, 2010 dinner event

After several consecutive sleepless nights and two exams in a single day, you’d think I deserve a rest. But no. I was walking a mile to Ralph’s, taking an hour’s metro ride to the Korean supermarket, then chopping, slicing, mashing, and mixing in the kitchen, all in preparation for my Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 event. [...]

Why Stress Is Just Self-Torture

March 9, 2010 My story

How many hours have you been up today? It’s been a long day for me. I’ve been up since 8 am (I know, it’s really late for some of you grannies, but it’s early for me!), and it’s been layers and layers of stress and worries piling on top of me, hour after hour from [...]
