Having been blogging about food for more than a decade. I began food blogging by taking the all-out exploratory approach in trying out a wide variety of dishes.  Admittedly, I also consumed food excessively during my early years as I was bombarded with invitations for food tours, food trips and eat-all-you-cans.  This resulted to having food allergies and eczema which haunted me for almost five years.  That forced me to transition to a more holistic eating which consisted of a balanced meal with less sweets.  As someone who developed a sweet tooth in my early toddler years, the adjustment was quite challenging.  There were are times when I would succumb to stress cravings, causing my eczema to flare up and remind me to revert to healthier options.  I was stuck in this cycle for several years.

Recently, as my work in public service has seemingly reach a plateau, I've began reflecting on how I can serve others more by changing the way I live.  Eating is one of our primary activities in life.  We eat several times a day so I've decided to be more conscious by adopting an ahimsa or non-violent diet which involves avoiding the consumption of pork as much as I can. 

We're happy to add Marudori as one of our favorite ramen bars by the Nippon Hasha Group.  We really enjoyed our top-notch tori paitan experience at Marudori.  If only this was more accessible, we'd frequent this place more.
