Guess which numpty has a 39C+ fever and furiously coughing up her lungs… on the 4th day of Vlogmas. NOOOOOO!!!!😭😭😭

Was really hoping it’d clear up but I’m feeling worse. BUT luckily I’ve pre-filmed a few days of festive videos in London so you’ll still see a vlog of me having a Christmas Day in Brighton and eating Korean food in New Malden on YouTube!

Get ready for some cosy, home content because today is spent eating congee and emailing everyone telling them how sorry I am to be ill ahead of the busiest week of December. Fast remedies pls 🙃😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hello, my loves! A question… would you be interested in joining my first ever livestream on here one late afternoon/evening to have a catch up chat, Q&A and drinks after work?

Let me know! And what days and times you would envision? Thinking either a Thursday or Sunday 7/8pm GMT? xx

I’ve been chosen as YouTube’s Creator on the Rise this month! 🎉 Been waiting to tell you about this feature since July!!! You’ll see my little grinning face and videos promoted all across ‪@youtubecreators‬ Explore tab, Trending page, Creator on the Rise playlist AAAAAND fellow YouTube creators, you’ll also see this mini interview feature in your inbox this morning from the Creators newsletter sent all across Europe! 🥺

Thank you forever and endlessly to @youtube ‪@ytcreators‬ for the continuous support of the channel since I joined in 2011! From the week-long investment in production, presenting and skills learned in 2016’s NextUp Creator Camp to the constant encouragement since, the team were the first to encourage me to think about a full-time career in vlogging back when there weren’t a lot of UK-based ESEA food and travel creators. So many opportunities have resulted from this and I owe so much of my career to the team for believing in me (when I had very little self-belief and was full of doubt) 6 years ago.

Thank you for providing me with a platform to connect with like-minded friends, speak up about my passions/values/obstacles/awareness pieces/lessons learned and the million meals I’ve had around the world.

To many, many more vlogs and visual scrapbooks of my life’s chapters and ventures! Woohoo! 🥰🌞♥️

I’m SUPER HAPPY and proud to announce I’m officially a brand ambassador for Lee Kum Kee - the global brand who not only invented oyster sauce, but produces delicious, premium and THE BEST Chinese sauces since 1888.

Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing my ‘Lee Kum Kee and Me’ food journey with you creating recipes on here and my Instagram. Despite being experts in Chinese culinary culture, the versatility of Lee Kum Kee’s sauces extends to other cuisines and dishes. We’re talking BBQs, meat marinades and dipping sauces. Who knows, the love of my life (the air fryer) might even make a few cameo appearances… 👀

I’ve grown up with Lee Kum Kee so it feels extra special, nostalgic and very surreal to even be typing this out 🥺🥹😭 My parents used Lee Kum Kee sauces to remind them of home when they moved to London 31 years ago. Their love for the range followed us to every flat move, house, takeaway and family restaurant after that. The Soy Sauces and Oyster Sauce accompanied the Cantonese stir fries we ate after school. They were essential during university whenever I felt homesick. The Chilli Garlic Sauce spent weekends with us as we liberally added it to our dumplings. I’m even planning to take the chilli oil with me to Greece.

I’ve been waiting to tell you about this partnership and I'm so excited to finally share and have you join me on this exciting journey!!! But for now, here are some of my favourite dishes from the past few years using the sauces!

UPDATE ON VLOGMAS: Hello, my loves! As we're approaching the wedding (eek!! Saw the bride yesterday and she is RADIANT, SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL) the vlogmas videos from Antigua will be delayed or combined into one big vlog instead! We've mostly been enjoying the sunshine, meeting new people from the wedding party and I'm so conscious of *not* shoving a camera in anyone's faces whilst we celebrate such a special occasion! I hope that's ok!! Will make up for it with lots of London Christmas content when I'm back and bonus content too :))) love you allll xxx

Hello! Vlogmas day 2 is coming! It’s been stuck on processing so when YouTube allows it, it’s going live 😅 so frustrating when it’s delayed… hope you’re all still up to watch and enjoy! ♥️
