Dumplin Bao

Dumplin Bao is a chef-turned-writer whose journey took an unexpected turn when he discovered the wisdom of contemporary philosopher Martin, famous for his iconic one-liner: "If Yan can cook, so can you." Inspired by this philosophy, Dumplin has lived by the motto that creativity in the kitchen—and beyond—is limitless, no matter what others may think.

As a chef, Dumplin traveled extensively, particularly throughout Asia, immersing himself in the diverse culinary landscapes of the Far East. Along the way, he encountered countless stories shared by locals in bustling food courts, vibrant hawker centers, humble sidewalk stalls, and cozy restaurants. These tales—often whispered over steaming bowls of noodles or fragrant plates of rice—inspired him to take up the pen and share them with the world.

His series, Short Horrors Stories from Far East, is a collection of chilling tales based on the "true stories" he overheard during his travels. Through his writing, Dumplin invites readers to experience the eerie, mysterious, and sometimes unexplainable moments that linger in the shadows of everyday life.

So, grab a snack, settle in, and let Dumplin Bao take you on a spine-tingling journey through the Far East—one haunting tale at a time. Bon appétit... if you dare!
