I never dreamed of being a mom. In fact, I was told it might not even be possible. But life had other plans.

Let’s talk about the messy, beautiful, and downright ridiculous side of motherhood.

From Identity Crisis to Culinary Spotlight - Cooking for Netflix & an Ambassador Part 3
This week’s episode of Eating My Feelings is a big one. It's the final recap of my experience on Netflix with a few more nuggets of stories thrown in.
I’m taking you behind the scenes of Crazy Delicious—what it was really like filming a cooking show while secretly 12 weeks pregnant, why I almost quit (twice), and how a single rice cooker accidentally made me Taiwan’s Light (台灣之光). Also, yes, I did make a disgusted face at a Michelin-starred chef. No regrets.
But that’s not all. I also open up a bit more on losing my love for cooking. After nearly 20 years of building my life around cooking for someone, I found myself completely uninspired in the kitchen. It wasn’t until I was invited to cook at the Taiwanese Ambassador’s residence that I finally felt that spark again.
So yeah. This one’s personal. Hope you like it!

Malaysian street food, banquets and strippers and getting on Netflix, Part 2
From burnt brownies to Netflix—this week, I’m continuing the story of how I went from my little kitchen in north London to the next chapter of my cooking journey. How did I go from making inedible cookies to competing on Crazy Delicious? It all started with a small Taiwanese bento box operation, a supper club with way too many dishes on the menu, and an Instagram DM I thought was a scam. 🤦🏻♀️
In this episode, I dive into:
💃 That one time I was a professional flower girl… at a wedding with strippers?!
🔥 Hosting my first-ever supper club
🍱 How cooking for strangers led to unexpected opportunities
🍜 The behind-the-scenes madness of prepping dishes on the audition
📺 The moment I almost quit Crazy Delicious before it even began
This journey has been full of surprises, lessons, and plenty of kitchen disasters.

Hot Pot and Healing: From Pop-Ups to Heartbreak in 2024
In my very first episode, I’m reflecting on 2024—the wins, the heartbreaks, and the moments that kept me going.
From hosting pop-ups in Paris to meeting Boris Johnson’s dad, it’s been a whirlwind of growth. But there were also low points, and sometimes the cure was as simple as hot pot, cocktails, and churros with a good friend.
Let’s look back, laugh a little, and figure out what comes next together.
