About Oh My Food Recipes
Welcome to Oh My Food Recipes, where you can find inspiration for meals or dinner ideas specialty Asian cuisines. Oh My Food Recipes is tried and tested recipes with step by step photo tutorials and some cooking videos (more in the future).
The idea to launch this Oh My Food Recipes blog was inspired by friends and family members who always ask me for recipes when I post a dish on social media. Most of Asians cook by experience and eyeball for ingredients like how much to add. I was taught in that way when I was growing up. And, I have never thought about to write down my recipes before.
As a little kid, I stood next to my mom or dad when they were cooking. I love watching them cook because they made yummy food! Surely, I missed their food. I wish they had written down all those amazing food recipes. Food is a culture and is a family history. Therefore, I want to document and share my cooking experience and pass it down to my children as well.
