I was born and raised in Malaysia and I now live with my husband in New Jersey. My biggest passion in life is cooking and baking for my family. My mother inspired me when she bought me my first cookbook and I baked my first cake when I was 9yrs old and I have been baking ever since then. I used to supply over 20 different types of cheesecakes to a cafe Malaysia. Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Indian, Italian, Western, Baking (Pastries, Cakes, Cookies, Puddings, Desserts) Cooking traditions for me is cooking with my mom. We would cook together almost everyday of the week. I have learned so much from her as she is an excellent cook. I cooked 8 different types of dishes and baked the desserts and the cake for my brother's 21st birthday party for over 60 people. It was a nice buffet line and the party was a hit! I made a mess out a cake that I was baking for a 1yr old birthday party; the cake turned out to be so huge and looked so weird. My mom still can't stop laughing every time she thinks of it.
