Hi there! We are the Chaozhou Sisters, Fannie and Tina! (Guess who’s who!)

​

We were born in Shantou, China; a neighbouring city to Chaozhou, China — sometimes referred to as Chiuchow or Teochew. While we have been living in Canada for almost 20 years, our Chaozhou roots (and most definitely Chaozhou mom) has defined the majority of our lifestyle and appetite.

​

Good food and tea is what we live and breathe in the Chaozhou culture. Sometimes we joke how our currency is not the RMB, but rather the extraordinary amounts and varieties of Wulong tea and beef balls (yes, you read that correctly) that we drink and eat. Too many times have we heard things such as: “the cost of beef balls just went up again today, the economy must be doing well”. But the most crazy thing is that after so many years of living away from motherland and trying so many varieties of cuisines, we would still, without a doubt, say that Chaozhou cuisine is the tastiest! There’s something about how particular Chaozhou people are with using only the freshest ingredients and preserving the natural flavours that makes it one of the most delicate and expensive Chinese cuisines. 

​

Inspired to collect and preserve the cuisine of Chaozhou, we have decided to document our Chaozhou recipes in this blog and share the most authentic flavours of Chaozhou with you.
