Meet Sophie
Welcome
I grew up in Sichuan, then made my life in Guangzhou. Both cuisines live in my kitchen: twice-cooked pork beside garlic greens, braised fish beside a clear soup. It isn't a restaurant cuisine; it's how my family eats.
About me
I'm from Sichuan and have spent ten years in Guangzhou, first as a newcomer who understood nothing, now as a local with a family, a neighbourhood and strong opinions about where to buy fish.
Languages
I speak Mandarin and English.
Outside the kitchen
I love exploring the city's food scene, finding new places and meeting people from other countries.
Travel experience
I lived in the Philippines for over a year, have been to Thailand many times, and spent time in South Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, always noticing how food works in each culture.

Dined on Oct 31, 2026 with Sophie
Sophie was such a thoughtful and attentive host! She had so many ideas for things we could do together before, during, and after dinner, and was really considerate of my schedule and availability. I only wish I had more time to spend with her! She has such a kind soul and has traveled to so many interesting places, so definitely ask her about her adventures! The food she prepared was absolutely delicious too (though be warned, it’s on the spicier side 🌶️). I had such a lovely time and would highly recommend spending an evening with her!
