I'm a Foodie Girl.

Who doesn't love a bit of an adventure every now and then? And I don't mean the type of adventure that associates extreme, risky sports and whatnot. Don't get me wrong I do love my sports too but not as much as food. YES, FOOD. My eyes light up every time I talk about food because it is a passion and a hobby to me. I wouldn't say that I'm a food connoisseur but I know some of the basics and that's better than nothing? Let's just all say that I'm middle of the road, getting there.

Now, my palate is not picky at all since I like to try and experience innovative flavours. I do love my usual Filipino/Asian food but I am open to eat the most exotic as well as the most disgusting food you can possibly think of. Not because I'm trying to prove something but have you ever heard of a saying 'Try it before you judge"? The quote says it all really. I can't say that I like nor dislike something unless I try it and also I'm not very fussy when it comes to food and I try to be as open-minded as possible. I guess it all started from a young age because food was a big part of my life. In my 18 years of existence, I have learnt to appreciate food in every way, shape or form.

Check out some photos of me :)

My family was also a big influence with my passion for food as it was a tradition to prepare, cook and eat food together. We were an average family, which means that any food that appeared in our dining table was a blessing as it is still now. My mum told me that from a young age I was obsessed with my food and I cried all the time due to my constant hungriness. I guess mi amor for food is in my blood and I am so not complaining at all! My dad's career as a chef for nearly 3 years ongoing also helped me to gain more knowledge behind dishes I've never heard of before and it also gave me opportunities to learn about different ingredients as well as witness their original form.

Throughout this blog, I hope to share my experiences and knowledge on food by posting some of my favourite and pet-hate dishes. I haven't had any gastronomic experience yet but I'm hoping 2012 will be nice to me and let me have my first gastronomic experience any time soon! *Excited much* Anyway, I've probably bored you all by now so I'm gonna exit now! By the way, feel free to ask any questions!

Let's all continue to enjoy our love for food! :)
