Welcoming Note

Hello everyone! This is so exciting; I have a blog now. For a couple of years I’ve been thinking to create a blog, however it’s almost impossible for a computer illiterate like me to change the codes and layout. I finally made it, not as “hi-tech” as you think but I think it is alright for a beginner like me.

Briefly about me, I am not a real Chef but I work like one and because of my passion for food and love of eating, I am qualified as a home cook (*wink*). My dream is to have an empire one day, well maybe just a small cafe but for now I am happily operating from home. I have had 11 years of working experiences in pretigious 5 star hotels & Resorts & Fine Dining Restaurant in Sales & Marketing Department in Kota Kinabalu. I was always incharge in Events & Banquet sales. My 6 months of internship at The Lodge of Yarrow Augusta Michigan U.S.A had an impact in my life. I realized food makes me happy and I am happy to make people happy! Hence, I slowly begin to learn how to cook. Amazingly, God blesses me with greater talent in baking. I have just started baking in 2011 and still learning. When I was little girl, I have always wanted to become an Interior or a fashion designer, but I do not know why I did not persue. Lets just say, it was not an "In" thing at that time. So I show case my imagination and dress the table In-Style. I am very passionate working with colors, flowers and other objects that inspired me spontaneously, I am not a perfectionist but I have an eye for details.

I am so blessed that I do have an excellent kitchen team to assist with my little venture here. I could have not run this alone without assistance.

This sanctuary is a means for me to express my creativity through food and photography. I am delighted in simple things in life so you will not see any pretentious in everything I write here. I’m hoping that starting new will rejuvenate my spirit. So this new blog will start slow while I’m working behind the curtain, tweaking it with google guidance until it is finally completed. In the meantime, please enjoy your visit here and don’t hesitate to leave comments for me! God Bless you all ..Thank you
