豆豉妈妈 Douchimama. 豆豉 (douchi) in Chinese means small black fermented beans, which means small or tiny, petite. 妈妈 (mama) in Chinese means mom.

My grandma gave me this nickname, 豆豉. My grandma is Teo Chew (Chao Shan 潮山）In Chinese culture, we are given nickname because of our size or our personality. In size, I am short and petite so 豆豉 is a perfect way to represents ME.

I have three kids and back in 2016 when my third child was born, I would take care of 5 kids. Because I used to live with my two nieces who are similar age as my kids. In my years of experience with kids, I learn to connect with kids first and then use food to build relationships. I believe food can nourish everyone if we present it with care and ease.

I hope you guys will join my journey to explore food and life together. ENJOY!
