Food nerd chasing stories.
Hi, I’m Jess.
I’m a Filipina-American multimedia storyteller with a voracious appetite for culinary preservation and cultural advocacy. You can find me exploring Philippine culture and diasporic food ways on meryenda.
I’m currently based in Long Beach, CA but am always dreaming of fresh buko pie and convenience store snacks in Southeast Asia.
Let’s share sake favorites, project ideas, dubious historical narratives, and tea. Food gifs (highly) encouraged.
