My love for food traces itself back to the garden of Eden when the first humans learned to chew, hehehe, I’m kidding. No but for real, I learned early on that food was always going to be a part of my life in ways that are different from the Bo next door because my Mother is a food-maestro in her own unique way. The aroma’s from her kitchen always kept me curious about the textures and tastes that would be plated, and thus my interest and passion for the chewy things of life was born.
Its been many moons since then and I have chewed so much so, its only fair that the rest of my culinary journey be televised!! Well, I will try to get a video blog going eventually, but for now, I will write about the various foods and foodie spots I have visited at home and as I travel so you could widen your palate too and be a little more adventurous with your tummy-tum-tum. Life is so endlessly delicious, lets chew it together shall we?
