We often say that grass is always greener on the other side. But when comes to the food matters, Chinese think that grass is always greener on our own side.

I moved away from China since 14 years ago, that time I couldn’t cook. So I do as the Romans do, that means I ate as all the others ate at university and back to student apartment. And because I often don’t feel satisfied after the daily meal, I started to eat lots snacks at the side. Lots! So my weight just climbed and climbed. And I still felt that I needed to eat something, due to the taste of the food, was, quite plain.

I started to learn to make food that my taste used to, and since work at the design field, I, of course, make the food follows the mood. Day after day, I realised that I started to eat much less snacks on the side because my mouth and my sense of taste was satisfied. And without certainly thinking about how I can lose those fat, my weight went down. And to my surprise, friends around me started to give a lot of compliments on the food I made and ask me how I cooked this or that. So from just adding and cooking thing by mood, I started to consciously memory down the recipes, till one day a friend’s birthday wish was a food recipe from me. That how I started this blog.
