  • Summary

  • 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.

    S4 Ep1: Food and restaurant writer/editor David Jay Paw
    Mar 7 2024

    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.

  • S3 Ep3: Being half white and half Filipino in UK

    S3 Ep3: Being half white and half Filipino in UK
    Oct 21 2022

    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!

    S3 Ep2: Chinese takeaway/restaurant kids - this one's for you!
    Sep 18 2022
    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.
