Yeayyy.. I've been tagged!! And now.. who will be next in my list?


Recently I joined Foodbuzz.com and within minutes, days.. I've been found by other foodie bloggers. It's super duper exciting I must say. The feeling is amazing as I get to meet other foodie bloggers through a foodie community. This is definitely a step up for me as I'm trying to build my blog since it'll be a working progress. I kept telling myself that I must preservere and take baby steps.

THANKS to new friends in FoodBuzz for adding me to be a foodie friend to begin with and do stay tune or pop by my humble post when you can {huggsss}.

What's Foodbuzz? Well, it's a community blog for foodies like myself to share recipes, write, type, talk and post about the food or desserts cooked-baked by ourselves. Best part.. you need not have to be professionally trained chef to join the community.

Okay, back to business. >.< Here's what Elisabeth from http://foodandthriftfinds.blogspot.com/ said...Here are my 8 questions to 7 bloggers, that I will be tagging. {hmm..i'm wondering where am I going to find 8 bloggers?} =.='' Now .. get ready for my answers.

1. What is your all time favorite comfort food?
Mashed Potato {my mom who shared and taught me to make her mash recipe.. her ones' the best}, Pizza with lots of cheese and CUPCAKE of course.


2. What kind of foods did you take to school, for lunch? (any grade)Sanwiches {I'm a bread lover} Peanut Butter and Jelly, Tuna, Sardine, Honey Smoked Ham, Egg, Nutella spread, Cornbeef.. {OMG.. Elisabeth.. typing this is making my mouth water}

3. What is your favorite all time cooking show on T.V... past or present...and why?
I've got a few.. so am gonna list them for you:-


a) Nigella Bites, Forever Summer with Nigella - I love the way she takes a spoon and digs straight into her cooked meal and goes Ummmm..ohhhh.. yumm and I suppose her meals are quite sinful looking. Lol..

b) Anna Olson: Sugar and Fresh with Anna Olson - The colours of her kitchen, the menu she comes up with and her attention to preparation detail; makes watching what she'll be whipping up next is sheer joy.

c) Jamie Oliver: The Naked Chef - He's not your typical chef. Plus there are no frills in preparing his food and I love the way how he gets into mixing the food up with his hands and always tasting his food to make sure the taste is just right.

d) Laura Calder: French Food @ Home - What more can I say.. her food preparation is ala French. Delicate and refine.

4. Which celebrity, famous person, or famous chef, would yo invite to your next holiday party in your home, and why?
Hmm.. for famous chef I would say Anna Olson. She looks friendly, fun and seem to have a chirpy personality. And am sure she wouldn't mind some sugar in desserts as I think she would be one person who would appreciate the fine art of desserts. Also, listening to her talk about food/desserts and perhaps at the same time, she might/could whip up something too for the holiday season, that would be really exciting as I get to finally say "I had dinner/ lunch with Anna Olson." {dreaming.. }

5. Which holiday you love the most?
Christmas and Chinese New Year where there would be a lot of cooking and baking and everyone sits down to enjoy a scrumptious delicious meal and catch up. It's also a time for sharing and forgiving and to spend quality time with family and friends.


6. If you won an all expense paid trip for ten days to the choice of the official Top 3 wine regions which of the 3 would you pick? 1.) Bordeaux, France, 2.) Tuscany Italy, or Napa Valley, California (these are in their actual order on the top 10 favorites)
Tough choice, as 3 of the vineyards produce good fine wine. If I were to pick, I would pick Tuscany Italy.. as I simply would love to take in the view of the country side and greet " Buon giorno, come sta? Non parla Italiano.. parla Inglese? Molto bene.." translated to English would be "Good day, how are you? I don't speak much Italian.. do you speak English? I could only understand very little Italian. {these are probably the few words I said a lot when I was in Italy} Lol.

7. What kind of food you absolutely hated, growing up, as a young child, or teenager.

Innerds and anytype of meat from animal considered exotic. Till this day I still do not consume innerds and "exotic" meat. It's animal cruelty and don't you think it's disgusting?

8. What was the most dreaded dish that you prepared and said you would never prepare it again?
I love Banofee Pie..it came out good but WAY too sweet. I did say I won't prepare it again. Then again, I'm a foodie, I might give it a go a second chance. ^.^

Here are my 8 questions and 8 bloggers. :)


1) When did you become a foodie blogger/photographer?

2) What's your favourite season (ie; Summer, Autumn, Winter, or Spring)? (Q3 related to Q2)
3) What would be the first dish you would like to cook or bake?
4) Which celebrity chef/ any of your favourite chef inspires you and why?
5) Name 2 foodie bloggers who you would LOVE to meet; being the first is the top of your list.
    (i)
   (ii)
6) Have you compete in any cooking or baking competition? Where or when?
7) What would be your all time comfort food?
8) Have you tasted the best chocolate dessert that made you feel like sreaming "OMG...this is so good.. oohhhhhhhhh.. yummmmMMmm"? Where? Do name the shop too. ;p

  1. Hi Jo-Thank you!
    You did such an amazing job on the tagging...what a great sport you are. Love your answers, and choice of the chefs ie. Jamie Oliver. I like him a lot too. I miss his old cooking show he used to have. Good choice for the wine region. Tuscany, Italy would be my first choice too...then Napa Valley. I like your eight questions too, and your tagging list. Three out of the eight are my foodie friends on Foodbuzz, and on my blog!
    Hugs,
    Elisabeth
