And the winner is?

9 Dec

Thank you all for participating in the Dolce Gusto coffee machine giveaway! I loved reading each and every one of your comments. Maybe one day I can be a barista again. :)

Here’s how I picked a winner: I entered all of your names into a Excel spreadsheet, and assigned a random number to each name. Then I used the random number generator to pick a winner. The number I got was 31, which belonged to…

Suebin, who said “latte.” Congratulations! I will email you so please keep an eye out!

Thank you for participating and have a great weekend!

Events: Kimchi Chronicles Cookbook Demo (And Giveaway!)

12 Aug

Have you watched Kimchi Chronicles on PBS? The show features people eating delicious food by traveling through various parts of Korea. I wish I can be on the show too (if you can make this happen, call me please.)

Marja Vongerichten is the host of Kimchi Chronicles. She was born to a African-American father and a Korean mother in Korea, then adopted by an American couple. She was born in Uijenogbu, a city with many U.S. and Korean military bases, which also happens to be where I lived as a child. Marja reconnected with her birth mother (who now lives in Brooklyn, of all places), and rediscovered her love for Korean food.

A recap of the event and a Kimchi Chronicles cookbook giveaway, after the jump!

Events: Allmenus.com (and giveaway!)

29 Apr

I had the privilege of attending an event that was held at the allmenus.com offices here in NYC. We had pizza, wings, sandwiches, pasta salad, taquitos, and burgers from some of the participating restaurants, as well as a chance to mingle with other bloggers.

The food reminded me of the good ‘ol days of college life. We’d order pizza and wings at 3 am because we had to “study all night”, and truth be told, we really meant to stay up all night to study. But let’s face it – for me, food at 3 am –>food coma –> sleeping til the next morning. (D’oh).

While I hold fast to the “Don’t Eat Lazy” philosophy, every once in a blue moon, I’ll avoid looking for the perfect ingredients just for one meal and order in. That’s when websites like this one comes in handy!

Read more to see pictures of what we ate at the event, and to find out what I’m giving away!

Giveaway: Do you want to win a rice cooker?

7 Jan

Now that the holidays are over, I should be finished with eating whatever the heck I want because it’s “that time of year.” Some of you have told me on my Facebook page that you want to learn how to cook more, and a lot of friends have told me they want to eat healthier. (Full disclosure – I just ate Five Guys for lunch yesterday – that’s healthy, right?)

In honor of a brand new year and a new website design, I’d like to offer my awesome readers a chance to win a 10 cup Micom rice cooker from Zojirushi! Thank you to all of you for reading and supporting this blog. It means so much to me!!

If you don’t have a rice cooker yet, I promise this is going to make your life a WHOLE lot easier! After all, a rice cooker not only cooks rice perfectly every time but keeps it warm so that you can enjoy fresh tasting rice on another day! And of course, rice is a MUST when you’re eating Asian food!

The blog turns 2 years old and a hosts a giveaway!

2 Sep

As of August 28, 2010, this website has been operating for two whole years! I feel like I just celebrated the first anniversary not too long ago, but here we are.  :) My original plan was to relaunch the entire look and feel of the site by this date, but things didn’t quite work out that way. But it’s all good because that gives me something else to look forward to!

Thank you for reading, being hungry, trying out my recipes, and commenting! I wouldn’t be able to continue blogging without all of your support!! It means so much and I really appreciate you all!

And now, click below for a chance to win this cookbook with one of my recipes inside! :D

Happy Friday to you! Hope everyone has been doing well, despite the crazy heat wave we’ve been having here in NYC! I had a plan to avoid turning my stove on but that plan doesn’t seem to be working.

You have until Thursday, July 15th (midnight) to enter. The website folks will pick their favorite comment and name the winner! (This giveaway is only open to residents in U.S and Canada.)
