Hi and
welcome to Coffee Candid, a food & restaurant blog dedicated to celebrating
good food, all things coffee, and moments of life worth savoring.
I’m A.L.,
the Seattlelite, food lover, and dessert fanatic behind this blog.
Other things that I love: breakfast, travel, painting, biking/jogging in forests, the rules of simple, modern design.
My interest in food started after I had the unique experience of dining with one of
China's top food critics at his favorite restaurant in the country. It was, hands-down, the most incredible meal I ever had. Before then,
I had no idea that such exotic and innovative foodways even existed (for more,
see my post on Dadong in Beijing).
And so, my official foray into the world of food blogging began in 11th grade. I created procrastin-eating.tumblr.com at the urging of a friend who seemed to enjoy following my gastronomical adventures as much as I liked making, devouring, or shamelessly taking photos of them.
Now, years later, I've realized that it is the joy of sharing experiences, of sifting through the rich flavors and sentiments entwined with each memory, of being constantly inspired to pull out my camera and to try something new, that fuels my passion for food and blogging.

Along with
providing a candid log of my college journey, I hope this
blog will also offer some new, delicious, and creativity-inspiring
perspectives on daily life.
So please sit
back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy.
