As quoted by The Sun Magazine on March 17th 1996 as “the best pastry girl in town and a flaming pastry queen”- only discovered her culinary ambitions and love for art later in life which she picked up as a hobby. She honed her cooking skills through trial and error and spends at least five hours a day in the kitchen both supervising and cooking. After four and a half year stint as a pastry chef at the famous Bon Ton restaurant, her fiery leonine influences began to stir. Confident of her skills, she quit her pastry chef post in the famous restaurant and did catering for a while to the US Embassy before she stumbled onto a lot like the old suburb of Sydney in a quiet Petaling Jaya suburb that shadowed by wise, old matured trees. The birth of beautiful suchan® deli took place in mid-April 1995.
