I do Asian cooking like Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Korean and Japanese, I specialized in Cantonese dishes. I can do authentic dishes or modified versions to fit appetite needs. Before settling in the UK 4 years ago, I had been working in corporates as a human resources professional for 20 years in Hong Kong. Working for multi-national companies widened my international experience including food and dinning, thus I am able to customize dishes according to dinners' needs. I am currently a freelance property service agent as I am interested in the industry. My current role and my past experiences have made me a natural communicator with good organizing and time management skills. In leisure times, I enjoy traveling around the country with my husband whose hobby is bird photographing. We also like traveling around the world to feel and experience different cultures. I've been home cooking for over 10 years.

I am 25 years old and have been cooking now for 5 years. I take a particular interest in cooking healthy, nutritious and delicious food. I really believe that what we eat plays a huge impact in our moods, energy, how we sleep and think it is so important to fuel our bodies properly. It is my mission to prove that eating healthily is not boring and even more delicious than the ultra processed foods out there. I firmly believe that life is all about balance. I take a lot of inspiration for the food I cook from my travels. I lived in Los Angeles where there was a big focus on fresh high quality produce and a big South American influence. My dad lives in Thailand and so I have spent a lot of time eating my way around Asia and bringing all that I have learnt back home to the kitchen with me! I particularly enjoy cooking Mediterranean cuisine too after a lot of summers spent there. I love getting to know what my clients enjoy and perfecting there favourite meals for all the family to enjoy. I have been a chef now for 5 years. I have worked in restaurants in London and Los Angeles, as well as catering companies cooking for thousands of people. However more recently in the past 3 years I have become a private chef. I much prefer a more personal approach to cooking where I learn what my clients love and enjoy the most. I have worked full time in households as well as meal prepping for families and individuals. I have found joy in creating well-balanced meals that prioritise both flavour and health. I want the food I create to not only taste good but to make you feel good and fuel your bodies for the day ahead.
