a n - M i ‘ s

‘ a n - M i ‘ s ‘ hides different fragments that come together to shape my passion for cooking and sharing. 

' M i '
Three bento boxes with character-themed food: one with assorted sushi and vegetables, one with an omelette shaped like SpongeBob SquarePants, and one with rice shaped like a cute animal face surrounded by broccoli and small decorative food items.

‘ M i ‘ is both the start of my name, Minna, and of my Indonesian carer, Mini, who had been taking care of me since I was born. Despite being apart now, those little moments around food still link my heart with hers - As if yesterday she had made me that cartoon bento that cheered me up at school.

She made me realised how food can share a love that goes beyond language, distance or time.

’ F a n ‘ not only means ‘meal’ in Cantonese, but to me, it also means having someone by your side. After having moved away from friends in Hong Kong to the UK, food always remind me of the people I love, moments we shared and the care behind it.

And it makes me want to share this indescribable feeling with others too.

Plate of four yellow Asian steamed buns with faces and black seaweed decorations, including a pig, a face with cheeks, and a face blowing a kiss, on a white surface, with a handwritten note about making cookies with a character named 'The Clever' in the last summer before moving, and a close-up of letter-shaped cookies spelling 'TIER LMOCC EOV REY'.

Began to fall in love with baking because of Japanese baking videos on YouTube!! (remember very well watching ASMR videos of making chocolate sweets when little:)

I love bringing people both joy and wellness through plant-rich dishes, and that’s why I chose to create this website as my school project!

Thank you for visiting my website! Hope you have a good time exploring other pages :)
