Welcome to feedthepudge! I was originally born in Saigon, Vietnam and my family and I spent some time at a refugee camp in the Philippines. We eventually immigrated to Seattle in the 90's, where I've spent most of my life.

Most of the recipes shared are Vietnamese dishes I grew up eating, but definitely not limited to just that - I'll also be sharing some of my favorites along the way!
