About Me
Who the hell are you anyway?
I love food in that unnatural way that some people do. I love eating it, making it, thinking about it, talking about it, blogging about it... it's a fundamental part of who I am.
I'm in my twenties, but because I'm Chinese, I could pass for 14 or 43. I gave up a day job having worked in public relations for seven years (!), and now go to school at night at Boston University, where I am getting a master of liberal arts in gastronomy and, in my spare time, I was an intern at America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated/Cook's Country, and currently teach Chinese cooking classes to interested parties, including Boston University's Culinary Arts program, and private parties interested in learning a little and eating a lot.
I was born in NYC and raised in NYC, Long Island, NY, Spokane, WA, and Hong Kong. In addition to those places, I've lived in San Francisco and currently live in Boston.
I like eat adventurously which doesn't always work out so well here.
I travel often and generally plan my travels around food. I love street food in Taiwan, dim sum in Hong Kong, pho in San Francisco, sushi and fish tacos in Boston.
I'm not much of a food snob, but I try to avoid using processed foods. However, I have no problem eating processed food out of my house. I love dumplings. I love McDonalds. I love noodles. I love roast lamb and Yorkshire pudding.
I love fried chicken.

The best three meals I've had (so far) in order:
- ad hoc (Napa, CA) -- cucumber soup, chicken salad sandwiches, waffles rancheros, pork belly and black beans, flan
- French Laundry (Napa, CA) -- too many courses to mention, including perfectly seared wagyu steak
- Masa's (San Francisco, CA) -- clean, straight-forward, properly-cooked and perfectly seasoned food, the lobster bisque amuse bouche was transcendent
