The Story Behind

Exchange officially comes to an end on 1 August 2014, yet I do not wish for it to end just like this. 

RememberByFood is a blog that centres around food. Most of the time it will just be me keeping a record of what I have tried – in other words, that actually gives me a reason to take photos of my food before I eat haha! Other times when the writer within me strikes, you will read about food that I like, food that is worth remembering, food that inspired me, or food that I just wish to tell more stories about etc etc etc. This idea was conceived during my exchange, when I realised I remember the places I have been to by the food experiences I had there. In fact, the food (local or not) actually makes up the bulk of my travel memories during exchange.

Yet the reason why they are so memorable is not necessarily because the food I had there is the best I have ever eaten. Often, it is because of the experience itself that I associate with the food. You will understand more as you read along, that I can never do food critiques or reviews well due to my limited vocabulary unfortunately.  When people ask “Why do you like (inserts food)?” or “Why do you like that place/going to that restaurant so much? Is the food there that nice?”, I cannot give them a good answer because there is just no particular reason why. Somehow I just cannot rationalise food like that.

With the end of exchange comes the start of another new chapter in my life. And I hope in this chapter, with the start of RememberByFood, I will also remember to dream, to love, to be positive, to treasure everyday and to live life with no regrets.
