As a child, Skye used to prepare homemade dishes with her mother. This aroused her interest in cooking and enabled her to acquire good culinary skills. She said, “I have been fond of cooking since I was a child. The sounds of cooking are like music to my ears. I often accompanied my mum when she went to the wet market, then I gave her a hand in preparing the dish, slicing vegetables and cooking them. When I was in secondary school, cooking was a regular household chore.”

During her time at university, Skye went to Nagoya, Japan as an exchange student for one year. To pay for her living expenses, she worked part-time in a local Italian restaurant. During her spare time, Skye shopped for ingredients in the market to prepare homemade dumplings and Cantonese dishes, sharing them with classmates. She managed to broaden her culinary knowledge by learning some simple Japanese dishes from the locals.
