What an eventful weekend! 🥹✨

I’m incredibly grateful to have come home from the British Street Food Final with the Best Snack title! 🏆❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who tried my food, supported me, and shared so much love throughout the weekend. It honestly means the world to me. 🥹

I feel incredibly blessed that the food I grew up with — the flavours of my hometown and a little piece of where I come from — has been recognised and enjoyed on the other side of the world. 🌍❤️

It was such a privilege to cook alongside so many talented and inspiring chefs. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and warm that, honestly, it never really felt like a competition. It felt much more like a wonderful gathering and celebration of food, culture and the stories behind what we cook. ❤️

And now… I’m even happier to be home safe and sound, fresh up and ready to curl up in my cosy bed. 😂🛌

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a weekend to remember. ❤️

Rushed out this morning for ingredients shopping, only realised I wore 2 different slippers half way there 😂

When I first moved to the UK, Lampeter became my first home. I lived there with my husband’s family, who have been part of the community for over 50 years, and made so many happy memories walking around the University campus with my little one.

Four years later, I’m back for Lampeter Food Festival, this time bringing authentic Sichuan food from my hometown! ❤️

If you’re nearby on 25th July, come and say hello! 🌶️
