At the age of 12, Paope’s parents sent her to Singapore for middle and high school, which she remembers as a challenging time of adjusting to a new language, culture and surroundings. A humble person, Paope recognised her shortcomings and says she resolved to digging deep into her studies to catch up with other students.

Looking around, she noticed that many of her peers had passions, activities beyond academics which they worked hard at and tried to perfect. This realisation became the starting point of Paope’s culinary journey.Â
