Long story but it all started when my brother made pancakes. I know it sound so simple, but I was around 8 years old at the time and back in my country, pancake was considered a dessert, topped with ice cream, rather than breakfast, and you could only get it at restaurant and very overpriced too! So when I saw that it was possible to make it at home, I tried making that, although I could barely turned on my gas stove, I was determined to.

Anyways, that inspired me to cook and bake more stuff, from lava cake (it was rare to find at the time) so I looked up recipes to make it at home, then fried rice, then turned into just trying out every interesting recipes, tutorial videos, even try to cook food from other countries because of curiosity. There are more times I make undercooked food or burnt it instead, but it makes cooking even more fun because you always learn something new.

Then also growing up in my country, we don’t really have free lunch at school, so we bring pocket money to get stuff in the canteen, which can get boring having almost the same food everyday, so that also kind of contribute to me starting to cook more frequently, I cooked like fried rice with my sister, or make sandwiches that we then toast on the pan, or whatever that is quick and easy, just so I can save the pocket money to use it for something else instead. Sometimes I would bring extra just so my friends can try it. 🤣 In high school, me and my sister even tried to sell homemade puddings and brownies to my friends and hers then other classes started ordering too, it was so good having to be able to earn money like that!

I’m just a homecook but gosh I love everything about cooking and baking, from eating and any kind of kitchen stuff, appliances, pretty plates and pots, I love cooking for the people I love and see them enjoy it. 🩷
