Notes


A daikon, sometimes known as Chinese turnip or white carrot (lo bak) is a long, crunchy root vegetable that packs a peppery punch. In Chinese cuisine, it is most often used to make turnip cake; a dim sum speciality.

Marcella Chan is a London-based photographer, her work centers around themes of discovery and exploring dual identity and nostalgia through personal experiences.

Marcella's grandfather, Po Hing, arrived in England by ship in 1959, where he worked in a restaurant in London, before opening several restaurants in Weymouth. Bringing over his family in 1972, they set up a takeaway which Chan’s parents (Kwai Lan and Hang Yan) continued to run before opening their own in Somerset. Food was integral to Chan’s childhood and family history and has become a tool to explore her personal identity.

This work was included in the 2019 ContemPLATE exhibition, held in Westminster’s Chinatown explored identity through food.
