Teanuts
I’m Tinya Cheng, an undergrad at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY.
I like to eat. This is a journal of what I eat, more or less. I’m no food expert, but I’ve traveled to various parts of the world and sampled a wide variety of food and culture.
I also like to take photographs of what I eat, although I may not always get a chance to take a photo. I am just an amateur photographer with the following equipment:
- Canon Rebel XS (acquired May 2010)
- 50mm f/1.4 USM (default lens)
- 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS- 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
Sony DSC-T300- HTC Incredible 2 Smartphone
A relative introduced me to the joys of Yelp!, and I was forever hooked onto reviewing businesses I’ve visited. I began Yelping and writing reviews in March 2010. I started to add pictures to my reviews soon after.
I am known to write walls-of-text, or tl;dr (too long; didn’t read) reviews. I like to walk people through my experience, and honestly impart what I thought at the time. I have hit Yelp’s 5,000 characters per review limit before.
You eat everyday, so why don’t you update more? Ideally, I’d like to post to this site on a regular schedule, such as everyday. Unfortunately, being an engineering undergraduate lends itself to sporadic updates.
Why is this site called Teanuts? It started in the summer of 2009, when I worked for a technology-oriented camp in which the instructors were addressed by nicknames. Mine was Tea++, due to the following reasons: my preference for the programming language C++, my name begins with a “T,” and I drink inordinate amounts of tea. Campers and colleagues alike played with my name, with greetings such as, “Morning, Tea!”
I attribute Nick Nameless with the nickname “Teanuts.”
