Herstory

"Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure in the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative & imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood-carving, or music"- Julia Child

The words quoted by Julia Child is the perfect composition capturing the childhood my sister and I shared- and pretty much enjoyed!


Our interest in the kitchen started early, with me at age 8 and her at age 6, as we used to play cook-off competitions (now, famously aired as 'junior master chef')- usually having eggs as our main ingredient. Such fun!!! Seasoning the eggs with unknown ingredients was only part of the fun, the best part was getting to eat our very own culinary masterpieces- and having our parents eat them too! Well, I must say that-- throughout our cooking experience, we've never heard them complain... Maybe we're just that great at mixing stuff?! hahaha!

As years passed, our love for food deepened, yet our kitchen skills remained umm... satisfactory..? You need not guess that this meant we outgrew our childhood dreams of becoming chefs- I graduated with Economics and Finance as majors, while my sister graduated as a Software Developer with.. ahem! honors- Magna Cum Laude!

Love for "Everything Good to Eat" has been our childhood motto. However, with our frugal lifestyle throughout the college and working years, such motto was no longer practiced, nearly forgotten. Reminiscing those years,... happy memories were relived, bringing back our desire for good food. Thus, we've finally decided to carry on with our life's passion, that is-- To Live, Love and Eat!
