i'm minh (pronounced like ming), she/it, i'm 19, from vietnam originally but i live in wales, uk. i'm half vietnamese and half central european/ashkenazi jewish.
other than food i like techno and noise music (like this and this), rock climbing, and hanging out with crows. i've recently started skateboarding (badly!) and WCMX which is like wheelchair BMX. both are difficult and scary but so much fun.
i work with queer/trans/youth charities, and i also do some freelance work in the live music industry. i'm hoping to gain my climbing instructor qualification soon so i can start teaching climbing :)
in terms of food! my mum is a vietnamese chef and i have family in many countries, so i grew up with a lot of different cooking styles around me. i think a lot of it just kinda absorbed into my brain. i was really really picky as a kid so i'm trying to make myself try more foods (especially veg) now.
i obviously love vietnamese food a lot, and southeast/east asian food more generally. most of what i make isn't specific regional dishes, more fusion food i suppose, like my mum does. i am also trying to connect more with my european heritage, and i really like hungarian, polish and german food but i haven't attempted to make much yet.
currently some of my favourite foods are: phở (vietnamese aromatic broth with rice noodles, beef is best imo), goulash/gulyás or pörkölt (hungarian beef stews), bánh mì (vietnamese baguette sandwich, typically primary filling is grilled meat or cold cuts). i change my mind pretty often. udon is up there too, if a dish has udon base i'm guaranteed to love it. also italian and spanish food, dios mio... trofie pasta...
i spend most of my time cooking (or more washing up, it never ends). i really love to cook for my friends and share food, and sometimes i cook together with people but i kinda prefer to cook by myself. sometimes i can get really intensely focused and annoying when i cook.
this is what i actually look like:
