For those of you who read the Sunday Times today, you may have seen the article regarding Japanese desserts in the “taste” section, titled “sweet Japan”. Well, I’ve been quoted! Check it out!

I've been quoted!

Kuek lin, a Straits Times journalist, chanced upon my blog following my review of the sun with moon Japanese dining & café in may. I had raved about the parfait and she wanted my take on Japanese desserts.

This is what the newspaper article looks like:

Newspaper Article: Sweet Japan, The Sunday Times, September 3, 2006

Yay! My first quote to appear on a national newspaper, ever! Oh, and just for the record, I’m not really a graphic designer by profession.

It not uncommon for journalists to get people association wrong. Sometimes it works to your benefit though, and from the design of your blog, you could very well pass of as one :)
