TIA SOSRODJOJO
Vice President: Media & Communications | Marketing & Publicity Director (February - Present)
Tia loves food.
​
Growing up in Indonesia, she’s used to those fragrant, spice rich aromas that reminds her of home. Aside from food, she loves to travel, learn, and appreciate the traditions and values of different cultures.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em right?
lilian ngo
Vice President : Events
Lilian’s cure for everything is a giant bowl of pho.
She only learned how to walk because of prawn crackers. If that doesn't speak of her passion for food, then we don't know what does. Coming from a large Chinese-Viet family, Lilian has fallen in love with all Asia has to offer (K-Dramas, anime, and bubble tea). As VP to Taste of Asia, she hopes to share her excitement of all the wonderful things Asia has to offer.

ANgelee Chin Nair
Administrative Director
The key to making Angie happy is to feed her a healthy amount of food and to drag her to go foraging in East Sands in midnight.
As a Chinese-Indian hybrid in Malaysia, Angie grew up sprinkled in spice and everything nice. She’s more than determined to make sure everyone knows how delicious, food (especially Asian food) can (and should) be.
Be prepared for a flavorful Taste of Asia!

One, two, three, four. What food is Pasha craving for?
Your guess is as good as ours but there’s a 100% probability that he’s thinking of some Asian cuisine. Far Eastern? Middle Eastern? Well, that’s a whole other equation.
Pasha would know, he loves Maths and Asian food. We are all very comforted that he’s handling our finances...

xin ying chung
Operations & Logistics Director
This is Ying. She believes that the quickest way to anyone’s heart is through their stomachs!
​
Before going to uni, she asked her grandma how to cook. Her grandma told her, “There is no recipe, just need skills." Great for all of us, Ying's our Operations & Logistics Director, not our cook! Worry not, she's sharpening her culinary skills and would also like to share her experiences through ToA.
Hopefully, ToA will be her yang?

annabelle Hartanto
Marketing & Publicity
Director (September - January)
Annie loves making food!
​
Quarantine has made her a compulsive baker. She's been stuffing her family and friends with cake and bread experiments non-stop ever since April. Maybe it's her way of replacing bio lab hours? Here she finds the love of her life: Japanese Style Rare Cheesecakes.
​
Her family is both very glad and sad now that she's occupied with Taste of Asia...
