Award winning podcast* 🥈. Talking about life as a British born Chinese (BBC)/British Asian. The struggles that I've had to deal with whilst growing up in my mum and dad's takeaway in the 1980s/1990s. My parents are immigrants from HK/China and moved to the UK when they were teenagers. I was brought up being Chinese at home and English when I was outside of home - it felt confusing at the time as I couldn't find a sense of belonging. But now I am much older, I am proud of my Chinese heritage and I am proud to be British. I just want to share my story with people.* Silver award at British Podcast Awards 2022 in 'Moment of the Year' category.

S1 Ep11: Kelvin Tan's story on becoming a chef | Colonising mahjong

Chinese Malaysian born, Kelvin Tan - no doubt one of my favourite chefs of all time and a Sous Chef at 2 Michelin star restaurant, Sat Bains. We talk about his story, of how he became a chef and his desire to learn how to cook Chinese food as inspired by his Dad #PapaTan. Speaking of which, he tells us the background of how his Dad met his mum and when they moved over to Ireland. Give Kelvin a follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kelvintanwc - but be warned, his page will leave you drooling with all the food porn.

I've also snuck in a small solo clip of themahjongline news. More people trying to white wash the Chinese culture. People should just leave our traditions alone and respect it. Our culture doesn't need refining and it never will.
