I know I always say on all my shows 'this is a very special episode'.  But this time, I REALLY mean it!  It's special for a few reasons:* It was my first live show with an audience* People paid £14.06 for a ticket (thanks guys)* Proceeds were donated to London Chinese Community Centre and the event raised just over £2K.* Two amazing guests, John Li from Dumpling Shack and food writer and Takeaway book author Angela Hui shared a stage with me.* There were raffle prizes (is it even an event if there's no raffle prizes?  Asking for a friend, LOL).Angela, John and I have all been brought up in our parents Chinese takeaway/restaurant and we share stories from behind the counter.  It was heartwarming and personally for me, it felt like therapy.  If only I knew there were more takeaway kids when I was growing up!!This event is part of ESEAHM (East and Southeast Asian Heritage Month).  Thanks to Besean for hosting this for the 2nd year running.A few insta pages to check out!Chinese Chippy Girl)Angela Hui)Dumpling Shack)London Chinese Community Centre)Besean) Hosted on Acast.
