Eating life

Ken Fang's essay collection, "Eating the Days," explores the flavor of life. This flavor, hidden in the soft and hard details of life, in the scenery captured during travel, and of course, in everyday food, is complex, multi-layered, even trivial and indescribable, needing no further explanation.

When writing about life and daily life, Fang Ken gradually reveals his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, but often stops at just the right moment, allowing readers to return to their own daily lives in an instant and find the taste they have lost or forgotten.

Fang Ken

He is from Johor Bahru, Johor, a freelance writer, and currently lives in Kuala Lumpur.
Watch only one movie, read one book, listen to one song a day.
Days surround days, one after another.
Just enjoy life while you can, eat well and sleep well.
