Interview with Shur Lim of @shurthatwithme

Tell us about @shurthatwithme.

I started @shurthatwithme this January 2019 without knowing it would become what it has now! It started off with friends being interested in my wellness habits and wanting to see what I was eating. They noticed how, as a Malaysian and frequent traveller, I was still able to enjoy all foods and stay in good health and shape. (Yep, the food you see on my account are not the only things I eat!)

What does a diet mean to you?

Eating and living well is not about strict and rigid dieting – even less about punishing your body into submission. Maintaining a wholesome diet on a regular basis is also not as difficult as it seems. For me, nutrition is a combination of awareness and intentionality. It all starts with – and is sustained by – real, simple, and whole foods! The good news is that this is attainable wherever you are – whether or not you spend time in the kitchen.

Your instagram account @shurthatwithme is filled with beautiful pictures of healthy food and recipes that you came up with. How did that start?

The Instagram account began as a simple photo reel of how I added bits of “nutritional intentionality” to the foods I was making. Soon enough, friends and family started asking how I made them, so the recipe sharing began!

Kitchen-things aside, tell us about your personal life. What do you do?

I’m a graduate student completing a Master of Educational Technology, where I enjoy exploring the interplay between pedagogy, cognition and design.
