My contribution to The New Filipino Kitchen, which is my dad's shrimp and chicken pansit recipe, has been featured in Epicurious! This is an amazing recipe that does not disappoint. If you'd like to read my essay that appears alongside the recipe (about how my dad expressed his love for us through his cooking), you can buy the book, which is currently on sale. In the meantime, you can find the recipe here.

"The invisible brown asians of crazy rich asians" on sbs life

I have a new essay about the invisible Filipino maids of Crazy Rich Asians up on SBS Life! I'm so glad that this essay did well online (thanks to Filipinos who shared it), since it's an essay I'm quite proud of. 

What bothered me, however, was how the Filipino maids in the movie merely served to signify their masters’ outrageous (and oftentimes celebrated) wealth with their quiet, unobtrusive presence, and were otherwise rendered invisible, both by the camera and by the script.

You can read the piece in its entirety here.
