    Zero Degrees – Orlando, Florida

    I saw a lot of posts about this place so I knew I had to check it out.

    We visited the location near the Asian market by W Colonial Dr. also they have 2nd location by Florida Mall and it’s an Asian-Hispanic fusion fast food chain specializing in high quality drinks and snacks.

    There is indoor and outdoor seating.

    There’s also a perfect selfie spot on the wall where many people took their photo.

    Zero Degrees is known for their Mangonadas. The drink comes with freshly sliced mango, topped with a bit of chili powder, and has a great salty/sweet balance.

    The chili powder on top of the mango is a very popular way to eat mango in Southeast Asia.

    There are so many drinks on the menu that we still want to try so we’ll definitely be back!

    Kumpul Kreavi / Pelita Harapan University – Karawaci Tangerang, Indonesia

    I always want to share my knowledge and experience with others.

    When I was invited by Joanna, to come speak at Pelita Harapan University, I was extremely excited.

    A big thank you to the Kreavi team for helping put together a local platform for artists to host their artwork.

    I was honored to be able to share my knowledge with local entrepreneurs and designers for an event called Disassemble: Studying Relationship Between Product Design and Business Strategy.

    I had the opportunity to speak with Agam Hanafiah Pengurus ADPII div. Partnership, senior designer at Brodo Footwear, and Marshall Utoyo Co Founder at Fabelio, Conclave.

     

    Thank you to Joshua for chauffeuring me around.

    Thank you to Reinarddy and Eric for coming all the way out to supporting me.

    Indoneisa Mcd came with rice and it was so good!

    The event was open to the public and it was exciting to meet so many great young, talented people.

    My friend, Timmy, who is one of my favorite Indonesian artists.

    Thanks to Sofia Sambuaga (@sofiakrisaga) for the awesome sketch while we spoke.

    We also did a Q&A session. Thank you to everyone who asked questions. I really enjoyed answering them.

    Thanks Kreavi team and Pelita Harapan University’s student staff for helping out during this great event. The most valuable part of our journey was meeting new people. I’m grateful to keep moving forward and to be able to see the world. There will definitely be more blogs dedicated to my travels.

  • Sapporo Ramen – Orlando, Florida

    Sapporo Ramen – Orlando, Florida

    On Sunday, after we got finished grocery shopping, we stopped by a local ramen spot.

    To my surprise, there was a line of people waiting to go in.

    The menu had pictures of the special items they offer.

    I ordered the Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き, o-konomi-yaki), a Japanese savory pancake, but sadly it did not compare to the ones I’ve tried before, especially when it came to size and taste.

    I think they added okonomi sauce and topped it with Japanese mayonnaise, then sprinkled it with Aonori, Katsuobushi, and chopped green onions.

    We also ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. The flavor was pretty good and there was a good balance of miso and spice.

    Taiyaki is one of my favorite street vendor snack foods. The inside had sweet red bean. We ate it as a dessert.

    For quick ramen, that is affordable, check this spot out. I hear the weekend can get very busy so get there early.

    Thank you to Natasha who took me to an awesome coffee spot called, “Giyanti Coffee Roastery,” while I was in Jakarta.

    I really enjoyed the place. The outdoor is so relaxing with great quality coffee.

    We ended up coming early because of Popcon Asia. Grace helped arrange this event in association with the Kreavi team.

    The event was hosted in Conclave, which was a creative space. It was amazing! So amazing that I totally forgot to take some pictures because I was too busy checking this place out.

     

     

    Here, I’m wearing my new Plastic Culture x Spiki tee.

     

    Thank you to my friend, Timmy, who came to support me.

    Johana from Kreavi.

    Andi also came to the event.

    The event host.

    Thank you to Yansen Kamto, the Chief Executive – KIBAR, for inviting a lot of great local talent to share their experiences.

    After the main introduction, is showtime.

    I shared my personal story about my toy journey.

    The experience was amazing. Even though we all come from different backgrounds, we all have the same passion and love.

    I had to leave early for another event but I was so grateful to everyone who came to the event.

    Before the #spikisjavaadventure began, my friend, Natasha Victoria Lucas from Yummy Traveler, shared the best coffee in Jakarta with me.I knew I just had to add this to my food adventure and share it with all of you. Thanks to Natasha for accompanying me to this amazing coffee spot.

    The coolest part of this place was the nature-inspired theme which makes this outdoorsy space feel super relaxing.

  • Design by belief

    Design by belief

    I truly appreciate all the hard work that The Blue Studio,Hobbes Hou, Jason Cordoba Photography, and @chrrota put in to make this collaboration happen. It started as a dream and an idea that I’ve always wanted to bring to life. I was able to talk about my life, what it was like growing up in Taiwan and the U.S., and how I ventured into the world of toy making. I can’t wait for you all to see it.
