About Me

Hello! I'm Emily, a junior studying Computer Science here at BU. I was born and raised in Boston. My favorite activity is trying new restaurants and cuisines! My favorite neighborhood in Boston to dine at is Allston - I love asian cuisine. I'd love to try new cuisines, there are many that I haven't tried. If anyone has any recommendations, feel free to reach out. My personal recommendation is Malatown in Allston - you can customize your own bowl, and it is so warming to eat during Boston winters.

Activities and Interests

Food

As I've said, I love eating food! This is a picture of a malatang bowl I got at Malatown. For those who may not know, malatang is Chinese hotpot dish where you customize your own bowl of raw ingredients, and it will then be cooked and served in a hot (and usually spicy) broth.

I usually eat malatang solo or with friends, but check out BU's chinese org: BU CSA

Travel

There aren't many countries that I've been to, but I love exploring new places whenever I get the chance to leave Massachusetts. I have a trip planned in December to go to Japan with my partner. It'll be a 17-day trip, and we'll be hitting up Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto, and Osaka. With a few day trips to other cities too. Super excited for this one!

Shoutout to Expedia for making the hotels easy to book. But let's hope I don't get screwed over for booking third-party.

Ninja Creami

Okay, this is VERY niche and maybe weird. And it also already falls under food. But it deserves its own category. I love making recipes for my Ninja Creami machine. Craving froyo? Easy. Just pop in a Chobani in the container and freeze it overnight. Matter of fact, as I write this, I just had one two hours ago. I swear I make the best vanilla ice cream with this machine - it tastes identical to Haagen Dazs but with 5x less sugar. It's amazing.

Here's the link to a Ninja Creami if you're interested in buying.
