About Mijune

 

Welcome to Follow Me Foodie! I’m Mijune [mē-june (like the month I was born in)] – a professional web/video food and travel blogger. I’m a dedicated foodie born and raised in Vancouver, BC. Follow Me Foodie is the story of my life. I’m a doe-eyed Foodie in the City with an infectious excitement & passion for food.

Food is my passion and blogging/vlogging is my outlet to express it. I have always let my taste buds guide me across the world, and even so far as to dictate my work and life.

I study, read, cook, eat and dream about food and this blog is my personal diary where people can share, interact, learn and celebrate everything and anything about food.

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel and explore this world of food and I only hope to share my experiences with you. I am inspired by the culinary scene and hope to deliver the best in local and global gastronomy. Foodie or not, I invite you to Follow Me Foodie!

WARNING: My food pics may stimulate hunger, so explore my blog with munchies within a reachable distance! For the love of food…

Hi-my name is Clare and I was so excited to stumble accross your blog! I was actually looking for some reveiws on the Hilltop Cafe Diner in Langley when I found Follow Me Foodie…I’ll be taking a visit to Hilltop tomorrow morning:) I am, what my husband calls, obsessed with food…any trip we take is centered around where we will eat! So needless to say, I’ll be visiting your blog often now that I’ve found it. I do have a reccomendation for you in Seattle…it’s called Portage Bay Cafe in the Amazon District….AMAZING breakfast with a fresh fruit toppings bar for pancakes, french toast or waffles. Their slogan is “Eat like you give a damn”…..love it, a must try:) Thanks again! Clare

@Indian restaurant London – thank you so much!

@Clare Walker – !!!!! yay!!! exciting!!! Welcome to Follow Me Foodie! Okay food obsessed like me…. you’re definitely in on the right blog, and I can only hope I’m able to meet your standards :) I haven’t tried Portage, but I have heard of it before and I actually just came back from Seattle. If you look at the top I have a tab “locations” and from there you can click “US” and then “Seattle” or whichever place you’re looking for. I write internationally as well! Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy Hilltop!

Hi Mijune, thought I’d leave a message since I’ve been reading and enjoying reading your blog for the past 3 months :D Your blog has really introduced me to the culinary world of Vancouver, a niche previously thought as non-existent. I look forward to more posts in the future!

Hi Mijune; Here at Healthy Chef Delivery you will see that not only do we have tasty delightful nutritional prepared meals from our country kitchen delivered directly to your door, but we also cater to gluten free, vegetarian, and dairy free customers. Our Krazy Kale is to die for! The gluten free chicken pot pie is always a sell out at our deli and restaurant and the Dragon Salad you will never find anywhere in Vancouver. One thing I am super interested in is to organize an event around just organic and natural foods. We can call it the 12 days of Christmas and have 12 restaurants selected that the Customers from Healthy Chef Delivery can travel to Vancouver to experience….. 12 days of shopping and 12 days up til Christmas of super meals selected by Mijune that will be a gift to their culinary experience and a warm up from Calgary. Lets do it!

61 Terry Fletcher October 29, 2011 at 8:51 am

Hi Mijune; I forgot to mention that Healthy Chef Delivery is mainly organic with some natural local products. Here is what we are trying to do:

Your health is our #1 concern! Our mission is to help families in Calgary have nutritious and healthy family meals, every day of the week. We bring you convenient and affordable access to meals prepared from certified organic, local and natural sources. Our goal is to improve your quality of life, and make a difference to the planet.
