About Me


A Food & Lifestyle Blogger from Singapore

I’ve been blogging since long before 2005, though a self-inflicted 'tech catastrophe' wiped my earliest archives. These days, I hold onto this space tightly, documenting every memory from my early 20s onward with much more care.
My name is Stella Chen, and I speak my mind with very few boundaries. Armed with novice photography skills and a love for storytelling, I’ve built a tiny kingdom centered on food adventures, the culinary arts, and wanderlust. This is my corner of the world—simply, unapologetically me. (And please, don't judge me by my age; the spirit remains timeless!)"

Talk to me at iamstellachen@ymail.com for reposting of any post in this blog and my YouTube Channel, also collaboration on food and travel.


Cheers.
