About Chef Choy

Originally from Hong Kong, Chef Choy’s rise to culinary fame followed an unusual path. A passionate but largely self-trained cook, she spent years as an office secretary before launching a new career as a private chef in 2010. 

Soon after she opened her first private kitchen, Choy Choy, the accolades began pouring in – first from thousands of diners on social media and then from major media outlets like The South China Morning Post, Japan’s BS-TBS, and Hong Kong’s famous Do Did Eat television program. In 2016, CNN featured her in its list of the city’s top ten private kitchens; subsequently, her cookbook, Grace’s 60 Recipes, won the 2018 Gourmand World Cookbook Award for the best collection from a female chef. 

Since 2019, when she moved to Tokyo and opened ChoyChoy Kitchen, Chef Choy’s star has risen even higher. Over the past few years, her cuisine – incorporating traditional Cantonese techniques and Japanese ingredients – has been praised in some of the world’s best-known publications, including The Japan Times, The New York Times, Vogue Japan, and GQ Japan. Occasionally, in between her work at Choy Choy and media appearances, Chef Choy serves as a guest chef for gala events and high-ranking government dignitaries.
