S1 Ep6: Dumpling Shack boss lady Yee, talks about her dumplings

🥟 I'm delighted to introduce fellow BBC Yee onto this episode. Co-Founder of one of the best places to eat dumplings... DUMPLING SHACK. I'm such a fan girl and I still can't believe I managed to speak with Yee. Dumpling Shack started off their street food stall in Broadway Market in 2014 selling pan fried dumplings (aka shengjianbaos) and now they're one of the most successful Chinese food stalls in East London. I still remember the soup bursting with flavour in my mouth with my first bite 🤤. In this episode, we talk about our time working with our parents at the Chinese takeaway, whether Yee would open a Chinese bakery shop in East London 🤔, how she met her husband John (Boss man) and their Chinese wedding ceremony (covid style). If you're in London, go and check out Dumpling Shack (and their cute bro Fen Noodles) at Spitalfields Market and the new Dumpling Shack in South Quay.

Award winning podcast* 🥈. Talking about life as a British born Chinese (BBC)/British Asian. The struggles that I've had to deal with whilst growing up in my mum and dad's takeaway in the 1980s/1990s. My parents are immigrants from HK/China and moved to the UK when they were teenagers. I was brought up being Chinese at home and English when I was outside of home - it felt confusing at the time as I couldn't find a sense of belonging. But now I am much older, I am proud of my Chinese heritage and I am proud to be British. I just want to share my story with people.* Silver award at British Podcast Awards 2022 in 'Moment of the Year' category.
