I know, I know. Just another food blog. How cliché. But hey, it's my blogspot, and I can write (or cry) if I want to. And sure, I do have another blog to post my self-aborbent musings, but seeing how my obsession with food seems to grow day by day, I figured I should start a gastrocentric blog dedicated to things I've cooked, eaten, sipped, or tasted.
Growing up with an Asian upbringing in Melbourne exposed me to a lot of different types of cuisines and foods as a kid, and after subsisting of a diet of Japanese food for the last few years, I've tried a bunch of stuff most people wouldn't even think about putting in their mouth. Ox tongue, ramen flavoured ice cream, raw chicken hearts, silkworm larvae - I'll eat anything. Well, almost anything. I found out the hard way this wasn't the case after seeing the still-wriggling scorpions on skewers in Beijing's night market.
Regardless of my failed scorpion attempt, I'm always looking to try new foods and combinations of flavours and textures, trying now make my own culinary experiments. Although I'm still a fair way away from my future Masterchef aspirations, I'm hoping to get there eventually, one delicious morsel at a time.
