Meet the Fobs

Maybe it’s my tendency to bargain for absolutely everything, or that nothing tastes complete without a good dousing of hot sauce, or that I only recently learned what a quesadilla is.  Either way, assimilation has always been a rather fluid concept for me…from birthplace England, to passport country Hong Kong, to hometown Singapore, to my newest home, San Francisco.

I wear my fobbiness on my sleeve. For example, I flash the peace sign when I’m taking pictures, and I can also eat sushi and drink green tea every day. I blame my sushi addiction on my Japanese mom, but I do love xiao long bao, which are dumplings with soup in them (that stems from my Chinese dad!). I was born and raised on the sunny island of Singapore, lived in the sushi mecca Japan, battled winters in Chicago, and am currently making my home in San Francisco… for now!

Once a small-town girl, growing up in the suburbs of upstate New York, I became assimilated into the fob culture and lifestyle when I embarked on my journey overseas at a young age, growing up in Tokyo and Singapore. Oh, and I’m Vietnamese if you haven’t already recognized from my last name. I have a fondness for foods that appear on “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” like pig ears and duck fetus. I’m a recent law school graduate living in Seattle. I enjoy dining out at local eateries and of course, blogging.
