My story

I've loved being in the kitchen since I was young. My mom taught me her tomato egg, sponge cake, and banana muffins — that's where the foundation came from.

Now I'm a mom of two little ones. Life gets busy, but it doesn't stop me from baking and cooking. I cook by taste more than by recipe — and yes, I've had my share of failures along with the successes.

I'm most at home with sponge cake, cookies, cheesecake, and good Western-to-Asian home-cooked meals. I've explored trickier things too — French macarons, tiered wedding cakes, Peking duck, siu yuk, even homemade noodles. Not mastered, but tasted, tested, and learned from.

This is my recipe keepsake — every dish tested, tweaked, and loved in one place. I'm still chasing my signature dish, but I'd rather collect great ones than settle.

The fun stuff

Get to know me

Couldn't live without
A fresh Chinese bakery swiss roll — the moist kind. I can finish one in two or three sittings, easy.
Weekend sport
Soccer. Whenever I can get on the field.
Family tradition
Flying kites together. The more friends and family, the better.
Guilty pleasure
Freestyle dancing at home — my husband's words, not mine. I really only do it behind closed doors.
Sweet or savory
Sweet — pastries and fresh bread. I'll always pick them over something savory.
On eating out
Eating out is the rare exception. I'm super frugal — whatever's home-cooked is usually the answer.
Best kind of trip
Missionary trips and family trips. Being together is the whole point.
Green thumb
Trying. Even when the raccoons, mites, or one stubborn vegetable test my patience, it's still the most exciting part of the garden.
