How it came about.....I think.....

I'm going to touch on how it all came about...at least in a very short summarized version. I have been blessed a with great family. My family have always enjoyed eating out and trying new things. My taste buds have been developing from a young age. I recall I started eating lamb at age 5 when my parents took me to England...at least it was the first lamb dish I remember. I fell in love with Sashimi at age 7 while travelling in Japan with my family. I remember being introduced to Foie Gras at 12 yrs old and it's been a beautiful love affair since! Those are my earliest memories of new food introduction. Don't get me wrong, I love cheap food stand food as well. Bangkok was a haven for that! Things that are made well and paired well means a lot to me. To be able to compliement each flavor within a dish is not an easy job. I admire the chefs who has a nature knack for it!

On to Dessert....I remember my childhood restaurant meals started with my mom reading the dessert menu before the main one. She ordered her main course depending on whether the dessert menu was appetizing. Since there is ALWAYS room for dessert. I guess my passion stemed from that. I have always had a sweet tooth and a weakness for good chocolate. Now it's developed into my chosen career and I dream of where it will lead me. Lucky for me, I prefer watching people eat and enjoying my creations more than devouring the desserts myself. Otherwise I think my time at the gym will have to be tripled.
