INTERVIEW WITH @greatescape_v

The mix of savoury and sweet dishes in your Instagram looks stunning! When did your passion for food begin?

I grew up surrounded by many varieties of food as my family and relatives work in the food industry. My favourite memory is when my dad would bring me to the international food trade exhibitions and visit the production plants whenever he had an overseas business trip. I also enjoy watching cooking shows since I was young, it inspired me to craft things with my own hands. It is the feeling of satisfaction after seeing the result of my hard work that gets me.

What's your biggest challenge in creating these mouth-watering recipes?

Usually, I would draw and write down the ideas before making any dishes. However, sometimes the food may not turn out like how I wanted it to taste or look. Even so, I learned to keep trying and not give up. Eventually, it will turn out amazing!

Personal tips for your recipe viewers when working with Matcha recipes.

It was my first time experiencing different types of matcha powder. naturally, it took me a long time to understand and distinguish the differences. Each and every one has it's own distinct flavour profile. You definitely have to try them all as everyone has their own preferences of taste.

What is your inspiration for Matcha Rice Milk with Sea Coconut recipe?

I stumbled upon the health benefits of rice water (it helps to facilitate digestion), which got me thinking maybe I should try to incorporate the rice elements with Matcha. Also, adding rice milk and coconut cream gives you a smooth mouthfeel.

How did you find using REN / Matcha in your recipe?

This combination is definitely full of flavour — it's a creamy yet refreshing beverage. And REN / Matcha powder leaves a sweet aftertaste, which I really like.
