Finally get the wonder bread

Curious these days about the rise of nightclub-like all-you-can-eat Asian restaurants. Are they an import of urban dining from Asian capitals? A careful design that maximizes alcohol sales and turnover? The manifestation of an EDM loving Asian American subculture?

Incredible three days at the @foodmedialab. Biggest takeaway? That food media dreams are achievable. Many thanks to @andreanguyen88 @john_birdsall @jodiliano and everyone else who inspired. Great meeting @shirligig @sweet_leo_o_mine and so many others.

#tbt to a trip to @mofad earlier this year. Fascinating to speak with an expert in both culinary technique and history at the chef’s table. Tasting shifts in American Chinese cooking helped me understand how the cuisine's flavors have changed. Also a great gathering space for those interested in food--I shared the meal with a food magazine editor from Korea and an entire food studies class from NYU.

A 1962 cookbook that's a “Martini and a half.” This language of convenience persists through meal kits and meal delivery services. But now the convenience is still accompanied by a sensory experience--an opportunity to explore a new cuisine or recipe--not just the luxury of an evening martini.

Time for the annual #halohalo post. This year with #pandan ice cream, which @saveurmag once called the vanilla of southeast asia. Patiently waiting its arrival as the next trendy Asian dessert flavor after ube and matcha.
