Lasagna is a layered pasta sheet spread with meat sauce and cheese. Extremely sinful but delish to eat. Lasagna is my kind of comfort food to have on a movie night at home. You can add your favourite mushrooms or vegetables with any kind of meats. For vegetarian options, you can omit the meat and use tomato based sauce.

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
