**BACKGROUND STORY** **-** First of all, I'm not a professional. In fact, I didn't take up Culinary Art as my Degree Program. But I enjoy food! I love to eat good food, and to be honest, I think I deserve good food! This passion of cooking started when I first left home to University for my Foundation studies. I studied in Curtin University, Miri for a year. I won't lie and there's nothing to hide. Miri is not a city. There is nothing there (No offense). All I do in my Foundation year were class, bus, home, eat, TV series and online games. Lifeless huh? ![IMG_0631.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSnzLq2aEzaGxjSQ6YHgfEd5VB7q7gFvpd2zhBsiRsoVt/IMG_0631.jpg) *My friends and I in Curtin University, Miri in 2014* My group of friends always go for groceries shopping every Sunday after church service. That's where I first did my groceries shopping. Ooohhhh straight up guys. I LOVE IT! I love seeing products on aisle. I love seeing same products but different brands. I love to compare them. The best part, I get to explore products that I never seen before (It's true). I literally can spend 1-2 hours in a groceries store! ![IMG_0829.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXRFnCJEttVVsPoyrUp8EN3cuaVotDoB8eeuq86ZkkNWT/IMG_0829.jpg) *My cooking in 2014* I was exposed to cooking for myself, because my mom is not there for me anymore (don't think too much, cooking for me I mean!). I learnt to plan to meal everyday. I even learnt about how to store food, so that they won't go bad (trust me, i wasted so much food in the beginning). ![IMG_1016.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmce2nfjgg6dSBrMaPHS3j7NQ4Th3Nzp9399hfh8k2ZS71/IMG_1016.jpg) *My cooking in 2014* My friends taught me so much things. Like I can learn cooking and baking just by going through the Internet. From then, I am exposed to new ideas, culinary knowledge and there I found my passion! **My Lilwoodenspoon** **-** Why lilwoodenspoon? I bought this wooden spoon in Daiso and I love it ever since. I bought it in Penang and it made me feel so good everytime I eat. lilwoodenspoon is my personal food blog of my daily cookings! Initially, I choose to blog in Instagram because It's easier to use. Everything is at the tip of my fingers. I snap a good photo of my cooking, then I just post it online with a short description and hashtags. Wualah! ![IMG_0447.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcNry9EpPmsuGnnDa2gFgT9segLVjusFfW83iLSubQGsw/IMG_0447.jpg) [Click here to check out the Instagram account!](https://www.instagram.com/lilwoodenspoon/) I blog them so that I can keep track of what I ate. I blog them so that I can see how far I've grown. The greatest purpose of lilwoodenspoon, is that I want to inspire people, especially students, to treat themselves right! Like what I said in my first post, who said we must be rich to have good food? lilwoodenspoon is my way of sharing to students like me, that we can still treat ourselves right within budget! Not to say *NO!* to instant noodles, but why only instant noodles? Poor thing :( Yes, those rich kids with their parents money surely go out for dinner more often than I go to class. But so what? We can create our own happiness! Just need inspirations! To tell you the truth, I save lots of money. Sometimes people might be mistaken that I'm poor af. But I'm not HAHA I just very serious in managing my money well so I can spend it on other things too like adventures and BETTER FOOD! That is why I take my time SERIOUSLY during grocery shopping! **Compare. Sales. Great deals. Sold.** I can't wait to share with you all my cookings in Steemit! I hope you all will be inspired and enjoyed as well. ***PEACE OUT FROM MK*** https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/382917260022382592/388985975487070218/STEEMIT-BLOGGERS-GIF.gif ![APP.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ599LwdiqJJw5oko4MK4PHcPJCZkvk8ScrW9ojcJfGX9/APP.png) [CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE STEEMIT BLOGGERS ON DISCORD](https://discord.gg/gRypnga) Animated Banner Created By @zord189
