OUR STORY
My Story.
My journey began in Hong Kong, where food is more than just a meal—it's a way to connect, celebrate family, and bring people together. In 2000, I began my career in hospitality and quickly fell in love with the fast-paced energy of the kitchen and the simple joy of feeding others. Over the past two decades, I have immersed myself in the rich traditions of Asian cuisine, learning that the most memorable meals are those shared with the people around us.

THE OWNER — HONG KONG, 2000 → ST LEONARDS
After many years in hospitality, I moved into a large corporate environment. While I appreciated the opportunities it provided, I soon realised something important was missing. In a large organisation, it's easy to feel like just another number. The personal connections, the familiar faces, and the genuine sense of community that first drew me to hospitality had disappeared. That experience reminded me why I fell in love with this industry in the first place. I didn't want to simply manage transactions—I wanted to build relationships.
That's why this café exists.
