I'm a 19 year-old crazy for all foods! Although I love to pig-out, I only do that occasionally now coz I'm also quite conscious about my weight! Unlike many others my age, apart from just eating, I also like to cook. I'm still a novice in many things but learning to cook or bake is one of the things I enjoy the most. I currently reside in Hong Kong but will be moving off to college (I took a year off to explore my culinary aspirations or simply took a REAL break...haha) soon in the US. I also love collecting cookbooks or just recipes from here and there and creating my own.
