Hello!

Hi, I am Juliana Loh, also endearingly known to friends as J-Loh. I am a well-fed and watered not-so-sterile Singaporean married to a chef (Head chef of a three Michelin- starred restaurant, no less).

Chicken Scrawlings is my blog about food, travel and life: celebrating victories in the trials and tribulations of life, marriage and work. In 2017, I survived cancer. I'm making the best of every day and living it on behalf of many dear friends gone too soon.

I am a seasoned, well-travelled freelance journalist covering stories about travel, food, culture, luxury hospitality and design.

I contribute regularly to Travel + Leisure, Hong Kong Tatler, SCMP, Singapore's National broadsheet The Straits Times, D+A and Prestige magazine.

I am also on regional panels for F&B awards, lists and guides, as well as trend networks: WGSN and Trendwatching.

I live and work in Singapore ~~Treviso, Beijing,~~ Hong Kong ~~Macao.~~

Sometimes, you'll also see Smudge, my Beijing rescue tuxedo cat, who decided to get off the streets for the nomadic cat-pat life. In 2018, we welcomed Gaja, a Maine Coon to the family. In September 2020, I became a Mama bear to Baby G.
