I am almost always hungry.  I spend a disproportionate amount of time thinking about my next meal(s) and where to get it, whether it's dining out, cooking and/or traveling to satisfy a curiosity or explore a new location.  I've been fortunate to be able to experience some of the finest and most interesting flavors throughout my travels.  As a native Singaporean, I am drawn to bold, spicy and complex flavors.

However, I've been recently diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer.  This is an area between the nose and throat.  The treatment will result in at least a temporary loss of taste and smell and perhaps some permanent damage as well. It'll also mean that my appetite will be challenged by my ability to comfortably eat.   

This blog is intended to provide updates on my well-being as I go through treatment and also chronicle how my appetite and tastes will evolve during and after treatment.
