Hi, I'm Rachel Lau Freeman,

a born and bred Hong Kong-er currently based in Portugal. 

​

I can't remember when my love of food began. I guess it started when I was a kid, when my grandma and mom would bring me to dim sum restaurants, "cha chaan teng", or food courts and let me pick my favourite food almost every day!  

​

Back in Hong Kong, despite my busy work schedule, I couldn't escape the call of the kitchen. Nights after work (and even weekends!) found me hidden among a sea of kitchen utensils, cookbooks and YouTube videos teaching me the necessary techniques. Perhaps I not only found the process of making something from scratch therapeutic, but it also brought me joy to see my loved ones enjoying my dishes.

​

To me, food will always be associated with good times, good people, and good memories. Through this website, I seek to document my good times, recipes and memories, and share them with you all.
