AFN Foodies
Debbie Wong
“To understand the food I love, you have to understand where I’m from-and that answer is long. Growing up in the immigrant cities of Hong Kong and Vancouver, I would eat everything from aloo gobi, bun bo hue, pasta puttanesca, larbgai, onigiri, and clay pot rice all in one week. My Canadian high school had a boba tea delivery service at lunch, and my family had fried rice with our turkey at Thanksgiving. Having spent the last decade in New York, Montreal, Shanghai, and San Francisco, my cooking is globally inspired, and easy-to-make twists on classics. That means less time at the stove, and more time connecting. So save my recipes, and follow me on Asian Food Network as I rediscover my roots in Hong Kong and reveal the people and food of this international city. How about you, where are you from?”
