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.

S3 Ep2: Chinese takeaway/restaurant kids - this one's for you!

I know I always say on all my shows 'this is a very special episode'. But this time, I REALLY mean it! It's special for a few reasons:
* It was my first live show with an audience
* People paid £14.06 for a ticket (thanks guys)
* Proceeds were donated to London Chinese Community Centre and the event raised just over £2K.
* Two amazing guests, John Li from Dumpling Shack and food writer and Takeaway book author Angela Hui shared a stage with me.
* There were raffle prizes (is it even an event if there's no raffle prizes? Asking for a friend, LOL).

Angela, John and I have all been brought up in our parents Chinese takeaway/restaurant and we share stories from behind the counter. It was heartwarming and personally for me, it felt like therapy. If only I knew there were more takeaway kids when I was growing up!!

This event is part of ESEAHM (East and Southeast Asian Heritage Month). Thanks to Besean for hosting this for the 2nd year running.
