Why, You Ask?

"There's a difference between people who like food and people who love food"

Yes, I did just quote myself in the first post of my new food blog... But, that quote is the reason why this has all started... 

While the idea has been in my head for a while, the longer the days passed, restaurants visited, and photos taken, I was still clueless on how to begin. So obviously I went straight to Google. Collectively, all 'how-to' sites indicated that determining 
why, the purpose for your desire to start a food blog is the #1 step. And I knew that this difference, the one between someone who likes food and someone who is constantly thinking about their next meal and the tastes they have yet to experience was my reason.

Over the years, I have developed quite a lovely collection of photographs and food experiences that I really wanted a place to share. And even if there is no one to read about these experiences of mine, I also wanted to capture them for future me to remember. We get 3 meals a day, why eat the same thing over and over again?


By no means, would I call myself a 'foodie' though. I don't consider myself to have an impecable pallet like Sukiyabashi Jiro, I still pronounce 'quinoa' incorrectly, and only recently, has 'arugula' been introduced to my vocabulary. I'm just a young person who is fascinated by the world of food and am keen on continuing to learn about it. If anything, you will enjoy the food porn very much. (Side note: Not sure why people get mad when others take photos of their food, the presentation is an art in itself
!)

I'm pretty excited to get started, I'll post some reviews from places I've visited recently that I have fond memories about. But please bear with me with my struggles in writing. (I totally feel like Hannah from Girls right now writing this blog but I'm sure I don't have the same writing abilities as she does) Hopefully my love for food and ability to use the heck out of adjectives will compensate :) 

Cheers!
