From a young age, I was nurtured by the comforting and authentic home-cooked meals of my Shanghainese grandmother. My palate was attuned to Cantonese and Shanghai flavours, such as tomato fried egg, bitter melon fried egg, and stir-fried egg with shrimp.
Even as a child, I paid meticulous attention to detail when it came to food presentation, and I would take great pleasure in carefully slicing my steamed eggs.
It was not until my early thirties, when I moved to Shanghai for work, that my relationship with food truly blossomed. Working in the food and beverage industry in 2007 exposed me to a realm of culinary exploration. During this time, I embraced my role as a food enthusiast, delving into the nuances of different cuisines.
