Best meal I ever ate:

One of the strongest childhood memories of food, fresh bamboo shoot soup at a monastery in the mountains of Taiwan after an illness. It tasted like the fresh dew from a bamboo forest.

My current drink of choice:

ziso plum drink

I really wish I could:

always eat fresh and yummy food

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

No one ever asks me to bring anything. Although, Ｉ　ｄｉｄ　ｍａｋｅ　ｏｖｅｒ　１００　ｅｇｇｒｏｌｌｓ　ａｔ　ａ　ｐａｒｔｙ　ｏｎｃｅ．．　．　

My favorite comfort food:

Depends on the discomfort: strawberries for air pollution, asparagus soup for sinus headache, tofu for fuzzy mind, you cai soup for inflammation, ｇｉｎｇｅｒ　ａｆｔｅｒ　ｔｏｏ　ｍｕｃｈ　ｏｏｌｏｎｇ　ｔｅａ，　ｅｔｃ．

My top 5 favorite restaurants:
