Celebrate the Chinese New Year with House of Yum Cha’s dumplings

"From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of flavours. Growing up in Malaysia, I spent countless hours in the kitchen with my late grandma, learning traditional recipes and mixing new flavours. Those were some of my happiest memories."

After my culinary arts degree at the William Angliss Institute, in Melbourne, I started baking as a side hustle while working my corporate 9 to 5 as a business consultant at Bega Group (Food again!). Baking gave me an outlet to hone my culinary and presentation skills during COVID lockdown.

Shortly during stage 4 lockdown, I quit my job and co-founded House of Yum Cha to follow my passion in the food and hospitality industry. Through House of Yum Cha, I'm able to freely express my creative side while presenting an exciting offering to businesses and customers alike.

"While at University, I would work at a Japanese fast food restaurant and experiment with new recipes. With what little money I earned, I would endeavour to try to discover new restaurants and cuisines. Taking photos of each dish to analyse the ingredients."

I'm passionate about telling stories through food and photography. Each offering at House of Yum Cha is inspired by cultural traditions and personal experiences, creating an exquisite product that is both educational and delightful.


Through House of Yum Cha, I've had the opportunity to work with amazing chefs, understand their crafts and learn new recipes to bring unique dumplings, baos and even springrolls to life! I'm happy to see our products enjoyed by the masses while supporting local businesses at the same time. It's a win-win situation.
