S4 Ep1: Food and restaurant writer/editor David Jay Paw

I chat with David Jay Paw who is a food and restaurant writer/editor. We talk mostly on food. Heading straight in to his role at Resy and collaborating with some amazing people such as Amanda Nguyen and Susie Bubble who have written articles to share their stories on food and restaurant. Speaking of restaurants, we have a conversation on Somsaa and Ivy Asia, how they misrepresented ESEA (East and Southeast Asian) food and the work that David did to call this out. My favourite part of the show is talking about David's dad who is in a band back in the 80's in Burma called The Wild Ones (check them out on YouTube). If you're listening don't forget to share the show with your friends.

If you have any Asian stories to share with me or a shout out, please DM me on Instagram and I might read out your message on my next show :)

S3 Ep3: Being half white and half Filipino in UK

On this episode, I speak with Ray Roberts who is a Filipino-British Filmmaker & Photographer, based in East London. We get personal on this episode as Ray shares his stories of his upbringing on how he suffered from racism at school. We also lighten up the mood as he tells us his upcoming projects that he is working on - all of which amplifies ESEA (East and Southeast Asian) voices and celebrates ESEA culture. Thank you Ray for coming on the show. Please check him out on https://rayroberts.co/.

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.

S3 Ep1: Does my fiancé eWan have yellow fever?

Hey!! I'm back with a new season. In this episode I speak to my fiancé eWan Smith as we talk about how we met, the adventures that we've had and we probably over share when we talk about the mini break up that we had a few years ago. I also asked him if he has yellow fever (spoiler alert, he doesn't) but it did boost a conversation on how yellow fever is dangerous on ESEA women.

You can find both eWan and I are on Instagram:

🧧Happy Lunar New Year to everyone. In this episode I speak to Wai Kuen from Pak Mei Lo Hau Martial Arts Association. I have been following these guys since I started podcasting and I've been so fascinated in lion dancing and the story of why it's used during Chinese celebrations. For people who know me, you will know that I have a billion questions - and I had a billion questions on this topic. So thank goodness Wai Kuen was here to answer them all.

I've gone solo on this one. In this episode, I talk about some achievements which was made this year including the story 'Brian Wong, who was never, ever wrong' - a short story that was written by David Walliams which will be removed from future prints. I also relive one of my highlights of the year which was attending BESEAN ON STAGE as part of ESEA Heritage Month which included karaoke night.

Also wanted to say a massive thanks for all your support this year. Every listener, every comment, every like, every review and every share has meant so much to me. A million thanks to all of you.

S2 Ep5: Being Chinese and being Gay

Hello! In this episode, we speak with Siu Kee. A BBC (British born Chinese) who grew up in Glasgow/Barnsley. Also a fellow takeaway kid! I feel he ticks all the boxes for Asian golden child. Academic, a lawyer and the only son in his family. Sounds good on paper right? But tune in to this episode as we hear from Siu Kee on his identity issues and speaking openly about his sexuality.

S2 Ep3: Our Chinatown Special | ESEA Heritage Month

I’m absolutely delighted to collaborate with Chinatown London for my latest episode where I talk to Lucy, Managing Director of See Woo Group and Emily who runs Cuppacha and Taiyakiya.
Lucy and Emily spoke about their journey of running a business in the heart of London. It was so nice to chat with them and share our experiences of what Chinatown London means to us and discussing how diverse it is with more and more ESEA shops and food stalls/restaurants opening.
For me, Chinatown London brings a lot of memories of when my mum and dad used to take me here when I was at school. Shopping for dried vegetables that mum would put in her soup and buying endless supplies of Chinese bakery. When I first moved to London in 2007, there were times when I missed my family, I would go to Chinatown London for comfort and it’s always been such a joyous place. I have Chinatown London to thank for my entire London experience.

In light of ESEA Heritage Month, Chinatown London have put together a campaign #OurChinatown to explore what Chinatown means to people who have stepped foot in Chinatown London. What’s your greatest memory of Chinatown London? You can message me on Insta or email me [email protected] 📧
