“Inspire one to inspire a thousand”

Hi, I’m Sherra Yeong, the author of Local Outsider. I speak five different languages and have lived in different areas in Malaysia namely Sabah, Kuala Lumpur and Penang, where I am now. With a Bachelor’s degree in Food Science, a passion for food and an inquisitive mind, I’m always on the lookout for good food and interesting experiences. I like to think that I am a keen observer of the finer details of life often overlooked and underappreciated, which I hope to portray in my books.
