I love a diverse range of foods, flavours and spices, from everything from Italian to French to Vietnamese to Bulgarian cuisine.

Growing up in Bulgaria, we were fortunate to have access to high-quality ingredients, which we now refer to as organic. I loved the traditional dishes prepared by my grandparents, and now my mother.

Our cooking incorporates a variety of yogurt, vegetables and meats, resulting in delicious dishes. Additionally, we have a wonderful selection of pastries. One of my favourites is called banitsa, a stuffed filo pastry.

In Hong Kong, I like a variety of restaurants. I enjoy lunch at Viet (12 Min Fat Street, Happy Valley. Tel: 2104 2828), a fast and convenient Vietnamese restaurant.
