I’m a gastronome born with innate culinary instincts. I can get down with creamed chipped beef yet can be elbows-off-the-table with a chateaubriand when called for. But it’s not just the taste of food that I salivate for, I like to get to the heart of its anthropology, too. Where did it originate from? What’s the history? Why such traditions? Join me as I regale culinary anecdotes straight from my backyard or far-flung from the corners of the earth. You’ll find that the food and travel tales will go hand in hand a la munching on a dirty water hot dog in front of the sleek and shiny Chrysler building.

Selamat makan! (That’s bon appetit in Indonesian.)
