I AM DONE! Commencement was three days ago. This means that I’m finally done with undergrad. It has been quite the journey, from classes to research to learning to live in a dorm. Did I mention a pandemic?Instead of doing some sappy reflection piece, I present a 3 graph summary. Colours: red = econ, purple … Continue reading 4 Years of Uni in 3 Graphs
...and.... I'm done! Four years of uni have flashed by. A graduation post is coming soon, but in the meantime, I finally found the time/excuse to visit a restaurant I've been eyeing. MOLA. Mola Mola is modern Japanese restaurant on Penn avenue that serves traditional fare with a twist. Since opening in 2018, it's been … Continue reading Restaurant Review: Mola
The end is near. Yesterday marked the last day of classes, which means I am one exam away from being done with undergrad. Since classes are winding down. It was also the last econ research club meeting, so I decided it would be nice to bake some cute little cookies to celebrate. These little gems … Continue reading Brown Sugar Thumbprint Cookies
I'm continuing the dessert run this week with something more creative and very on trend: Cookie blondies. And of course... to add some flair, I had to make the cookies matcha flavoured.

There were plenty of good bites, but still hadn’t had a single bite of … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 4: Nalu’s South Shore Grill
More Front Street eats! The plan was to go to Star Noodle. No seats available... Sal and Pepe? Nope. I was about to give up and head back to Paia, but little bro pointed out Down the Hatch. I initially dismissed it as a bar, but looks are deceiving. A quick search turned up a … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 3: Down the Hatch
We spent the third day in Maui enjoying the views. Initially, I was a bit disappointed that our hotel was so far away from good food (think Mama's Fish House, Sam Sato, Nuka...). Turns out there's a goldmine only 20 minutes from the hotel on Front street There's shops, art galleries, ocean front views for … Continue reading Maui Eats pt.2: Paia Fish Market
Guess what? I'm in Maui! This is my first time in Hawaii and wow... this place is amazing Maui is full of amazing eats. I could/should have planned a "Maui Restaurant Rush".

It’s Thanksgiving already! Between work, school and grad school applications, it’s been a really tough year. But…. There’s more than ever to be thankful for. A lot of these are repeats.
