Hi, my name is Doris Lai! Here is a little bit about me and why I created this site. I have lived in Los Angeles and San Diego all my life, experiencing the diverse melting pot of cuisines. My parents are Chinese immigrants from Vietnam, and food has always been a huge part of my upbringing. This site is a reflection of my identity as a Chinese American—one who deeply appreciates the flavors of Chinese, Vietnamese, and American cuisine.
Through this site, I want to share the incredible foods I've grown up with and later expand it to share the foods and cuisines that others cherish as well. Whether you're traveling to these regions and looking for must-try dishes or you're in California searching for authentic spots to experience them, I've got you covered! From comforting flavors to bold tastes, and of course, classics, I hope this site helps you discover delicious food wherever you are.
Food is more than just a meal-it's a connection to culture, family, and memories. I'm excited to share my recommendations and experiences with you, one dish at a time!
