Little Steps To Courage

Special note: Introducing my new web project documenting my foodie adventures! It is absolutely feasible to have the best of both worlds - to satisfy your gluttonous craving while escaping the evils of culinary (oil, artificial sweeteners, bad cholesterol, etc). All it takes is a conscious and deliberate effort to seek out healthy and delicious choices! My foodie adventures begin from Hong Kong S.A.R. and who knows where it’ll finish. I’ll be posting recommendations of local restaurants, gourmets, cafés and bakeries. Stay tuned, fellow health nuts.
