Mandy Lee is Taiwan-born, Vancouver-raised, and slow-aged in New York for the better part of her life. Her previous three decades of literature-irrelevant life was uprooted when she moved to Beijing where, out of absolute misery and desperation, she started Lady and Pups – an angry food blog in 2012, which unexpectedly ushered her into the world of food writing. You should know that she excels at giving unsolicited opinions. She exercises the same ferocity on her love of traveling as well as being home-bound. She is a dog person, but only because she's never met a people cat. She is equally convinced about whether pigs should be pets or SPAM, which makes her a hypocrite. She dreams of having a farm where she raises only vegetables and fishes to whom it would be difficult to develop emotional attachments. In 2016, she escaped her geographic adversary and is currently residing in Hong Kong with her husband and three dogs.
