Hey there, and welcome to my site! I'm Mee Sha, a full-time practicing dietitian and part-time recipe content creator with over 10 years of cooking experience. As a Malaysian Chinese, I was fortunate to experience cuisines from different ethnicities from a young age, which had a deep influence on how I cook today.
Where this all started...
One of my favorite childhood activities was helping out my mom in the kitchen, which gave me an invaluable appreciation for food and cooking.
Since embracing a vegetarian lifestyle 5 years ago, I've made it my mission to recreate my beloved childhood dishes, proving that traditional recipes can be transformed into delectable plant-based alternatives without compromising taste.
On the other hand, the dietitian in me prioritizes using wholesome plant-based ingredients, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, to create nourishing, balanced meals that still taste delicious!
