For those who aren't familiar, tell us about your content career journey BEFORE your cucumber series.
Before this current cucumber series, I was often creating contents about my favourite foods which often include different Korean foods, as well as travel contents which I really enjoy making on YouTube and TikTok.
Creators everywhere, including Alix Earle, have joined the 'Cucumber Community', recreating your viral recipes. What was your reaction to the internet's overnight obsession?
I was definitely shocked to see names like Alix Earle, @wishbonekitchen and @ally_wong (my two favourite food content creators at the moment) all making the cucumber salads! It’s so cool to see a food trend follow from one of my favourite foods. I’ve been on tiktok for a couple years now and have seen food trends come and go and it’s even more cool to be so involved in one this time.
How do you stay inspired to create new recipes?
I usually stay inspired to create new videos and recipes by filming the things I naturally want to have. I don’t eat out often so I’m often cooking a bunch of things! I’ve been cooking for my family and me since I was a young teenager so it’s only natural for me to cook at home.
What does your weekly grocery list look like?
My grocery lists are often super vegetable based. I cook a lot with vegetables (especially cucumber). In my last grocery order I even ordered 15 cucumbers because I’ve been having SO many these days especially with the demand for more cucumber recipes!
What are you most looking forward to in this next chapter of your career?
I’m excited to keep sharing my food content with an even larger audience. There are so many new people in the little food community I’ve developed and I can’t wait to continue to share the food me and the cucumber community love the most.
