INTERVIEW WITH @greatescape_v

The mix of savoury and sweet dishes in your Instagram looks stunning! When did your passion for food begin?

I grew up surrounded by many varieties of food as my family and relatives work in the food industry. My favourite memory is when my dad would bring me to the international food trade exhibitions and visit the production plants whenever he had an overseas business trip. I also enjoy watching cooking shows since I was young, it inspired me to craft things with my own hands. It is the feeling of satisfaction after seeing the result of my hard work that gets me.

What's your biggest challenge in creating these mouth-watering recipes?

Usually, I would draw and write down the ideas before making any dishes. However, sometimes the food may not turn out like how I wanted it to taste or look. Even so, I learned to keep trying and not give up. Eventually, it will turn out amazing!

Personal tips for your recipe viewers when working with Matcha recipes.

It was my first time experiencing different types of matcha powder. So, it took me a long time to understand each of them, especially trying to distinguish their uses and differences. You definitely must try every different type of matcha powder because everyone has their own preference of taste.
