About me

Location	Los Angeles, CA, United States
Introduction	Born in Manila, Philippines, my first taste of solid food must have been some sort of rice dish. Doused in a soupy mixture, or on the side with a meat and veggie dish, it's safe to say that I can fully enjoy rice all day every day. While I could eat rice for every meal, when I started cooking for myself, I learned there could be other rice substitutes. Confession, I live at home with my parents and my grandma and at times it can be a bit challenging to eat the healthiest and diverse of meals, but I'm proving that this is easy to overcome. I’m enticed by lumpia or sinigang more than I’d like, so I’m figuring out how I can combine Filipino dishes into my eats from time to time while exploring other satisfying, and hopefully healthy, dishes along the way. It’s time to take advantage of living in sunny L.A. where there’s a plethora of farmers markets, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and delicious high-end (and hole-in-the-wall) restaurants to choose from. This is my take on food.
