About Jessica:

Who are you?

My name is Jessica Deng and I’m a college student pursuing my degree in Hospitality Management and a young professional working in a commercial real estate firm where I am making my way into online marketing and social media. I am also a Contributing Editor for IRealyLikeFood where I write about  my food adventures and much more. I’m a social media junkie and absolutely love coffee.

Where are you?                            

When my parents and eldest sister came to America they lived in The Bronx, New York. After my second was born and when I turned 3, my family and I moved to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn where we have been living the past 21 years.

Favorite food:

This is a hard one because there’s a lot of food I love to eat. If I really had to pick one than it would be: dumplings.  I absolutely love dumplings because I’ve been eating it for most of my life and it’s just full of juicy and meaty goodness. I love my dumplings fried or steamed, with meat or just vegetables, and in any way, shape, or form.

Least favorite food:

I simply cannot handle foods that smell like rotten eggs and socks especially the disgusting fruit: durian. The unusual odor has prompted me to have an intense disgust of this hideous fruit.

What makes you a foodie?

I've never classified myself has a foodie but I am. I've always had a side to me that absolutely love food! I have a passion for sharing my writing and photography, so with both skills I've been able to apply it to to another love of mine: blogging. I love to cook. I love to try new foods and restaurants. I simply just love food.

Favorite color:

Blue and sea-foam blue

Fun Fact:

I like to go shopping with coupons especially at major retail shops because I’m able to save a ton of money and sometimes I even strike up a good deal.
