Our story
As with all love stories, we believe the best of 'our story' has yet to be written and we hope our brand marks the beginning of another exciting tale together.
We met by chance when Justin took a trip to Kuala Lumpur, where Liz had recently returned. By a serendipitous turn of events we quickly became one of the few blessed by the pandemic. Going from complete strangers, to living together for a year and half. Since then we've been managing our busy lives thousands of miles apart, and doing the most to keep our relationship thriving despite the limited contact! (As you can see 😉.)
In our time together we've created countless stories, overcome all sorts of challenges and focused heavily on growth. And while that all makes us sound like quite serious people, we enjoy nothing more than each others company. In fact, the biggest lesson we've learnt from long distance is just how precious our time is together. It's so easy to take for granted, and get caught up in 1,000,000 other things life throws at us - especially if you see each other everyday. That's why its become our mission is to help other's treasure that time together.
As for the big question: Why 'Rice n Jelly'?
We are foodies through and through, we love rice as our staple asian carbohydrate and jelly as cute little dessert, and we can certainly see ourselves indulging in a little bit of both... but that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Our names 'Rice' and 'Jelly' come from our mispronounced middle names 'Rais' and 'JieLei'. Nicknames we once hated and felt bullied for throughout our days at school. Now we are finally able to appreciate those names as shared part of our journeys before we even met. Rice n Jelly puts power in those names and reminds us to remain kids together.
