Two Hungry Girls

Just several months ago I'd returned from my epic adventures in Beijing & China where I'd eaten the most mind-blowing food.  My foodie core had been shaken. I looked at my heritage and childhood culture with new eyes and decided upon my return to the UK I was on a mission to bring creative Chinese cuisine to London. And thankfully I'm not alone.

Cake designer & friend Craft Cakes and I hit the ground running when we entered Social Media Week 2012's Supperclub Challenge hosted by Great British Chefs in aid of Action Against Hunger. We won second place, met other incredible foodies such as Tasty Ribbons and Yummy Choo Eats. We were crazy enough to invite Wen, Babs & Little Z (London's favourite Supperclub baby!) from Edible Experiences who although knew we'd pulled together our menu in 4 days (!), encouraged us to host one every month.

Since then it has been a wonderful rollercoaster ride. Hungry Female & Craft Cakes are now Two Hungry Girls and we want to arrest your palate with the intoxicating flavours of Straits & Mainland Chinese food. We serve our meals Chinese Banquet Style, which is a 10-12 course taster menu beginning with small bites leading into main courses and sides, and finally desserts. We serve the classics as well as our own interpretations of real Chinese flavours,with cooking styles that our mamas use and some creative license.

We love collaborating and have hosted a Literary Supperclub with Platform 65, directed by talented Cui who held our audience captive by pairing Chinese tales and stories with our menu. Hopefully the first of many versions to come. What we love the most are the delightful, friendly and interesting guests who create a buzzing atmosphere and judging from their squeals of laughter, have a jolly good time. 

So this story is only beginning. We see a thrilling summer ahead with more collaborations and projects and can't wait to feed you. A special thanks to Edible Experiences for being supportive, enthusiastic and an honest opinion when we needed it. We hope this will be one long and prosperous Hungry Dynasty.
