Cha Chaan Teng = I Love You
茶餐廳=我愛你

A zine about food, relationships and culture (including mistranslated tattoos). Making and sharing food is an intimate and complicated thing for me, but I’m trying to find joy in eating and cooking by unlearning unhelpful ideas about my body and how I treat it. The story begins at my grandparents’ restaurant in Melbourne, years before I was born.

The first edition of the zine was printed in Hong Kong and launched at 8edroom Zine Club in the spring of 2019. The second edition was produced in Taiwan in February 2020.

Tai Kwun Contemporary’s Artists’ Book Library commissioned a video (see below) about my process for their 2019 program.
