"I grew up in the Philippines, it's a tropical country where desserts are straight-up fresh fruits. It just made me realize that I want to use ingredients that [make people say] that's a great dessert. I took my culinary experience from the Philippines through my schooling and then moved here to America and fell in love with desserts."
"It really didn't sink in with me at first. When they finally said, 'You're gonna go to the competition, you're gonna fly to California for this,' it was unbelievable. It's my first time being on TV, it was just shocking."
