Hi there! I’m Tina Tsai and I started Oh Snap! Let’s Eat! in 2012 where I share Taiwanese, Chinese, and Asian home cooked recipes. This means I teach you how to cook classic Asian recipes, but in an easier home cooked fashion!
I’m originally from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and moved to Atlanta, Georgia, USA with my mom when I was 4 years old. Luckily, I still visited Taiwan every summer growing up as I still have family there!
In the states, my mom raised me as a single parent working as professional artist and all sorts of odds and ends, and somehow still made sure to cook delicious meals pretty much every day.
So I grew up watching mom cook, and this is how I learned that delicious meals do not need to be complex! Home cooked meals can be easy, delicious, and healthy.
The breakdown of our usual meal? One meat dish, one veggie dish, one seafood dish, served with rice. And she also made sure there was a pot of soup on the stove too! Healthy and yum!
Fast forward to my college years, I didn’t go straight in to cooking. I actually majored in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology (Class of 2009 – Go Jackets!). While I did enjoy my dining plan, I missed my good ol’ home cooked Asian meals too. So I would sometimes cook some myself! It was fun times cooking in small little dorm kitchens 😀
After Georgia Tech, I went in to software consulting and IT. While I loved both those jobs, my passion has always been about food. So I always kept up with this blog, which was about food – my hobby, my passion, my love 🙂
Oh Snap! Let’s Eat! has transformed throughout the years and I am super proud of it! I hope you enjoy all the recipes!!
Also on other news – in my free time I’m spoiling my puppy dog – Simba, the Chipoo (He’s a chihuahua poodle mix)! You will see him often on my social media and his own very Instagram!! Here’s a pic of him:
