Blog directory

*Pic from my LAST daily closing meeting from Iggy’s, Singapore

Good day, readers! As the title saying, this is the directory of this blog, basic information and the guide for first time visitors >>

1. Blog title, what the hell is “culinary metal vagabond”???

It is the author’s title. Cooking, Heavy metal and Backpacking are my passion and the reason to live. CMV perfectly describe what I am and consider I’m the only person right fit in to claim this title!!

2. Title logo; tag line

Title logo, I just kept it simple; knives would be maybe more common/suitable symbols of all the chefs, but I chose tweezers instead. I like the kitchen where do tasting menu, sophisticated foods with lots of details. And I love working with tweezers on plating(hate using tongs//) So I features on my blog logo. Tagline; no much to say, visiting 195, every single countries of this planet, do 300 stages over 100 countries and get off this planet, that’s my life, no home, no honey, no money, unchained…. CMV, oui.

I did thought about putting seasonal vegetable & fruits from the market, but think it’s very typical. Since I have thousands of photos across the globe, why don’t I use it?! It doesn’t look “culinary”, but super “vagabondic” and… culinary inspiration should be anything such as fashion, music, murals, and all those photos from my travel!

My Spirit: Spirit is the most important things for the chefs or any professionals in my very personal opinion. What is it exactly?
