She delves into her family's immigration story, the challenges of growing up as one of the few Chinese kids in her school, and the significance of their Chinese takeaway business. The discussion also covers cultural traditions, the importance of respecting elders, and the future of Chinese takeaways in the UK. Additionally, we explore favourite spots in Chinatown, diverse ESEA cuisines, and the impact of social media representation on cultural identity.
