Mama Cheung

In 2020, Mama Cheung ranked among the top 12 Hong Kong YouTube channels that teach cooking.

[7] When she had spare time, her mother would collect eggs and flour to make a steamed orange sponge cake for her.

Since her mother-in-law wanted her son to have breakfast prior to heading to work, Mama Cheung began cooking at 5 am for him.

[10] During the COVID-19 pandemic, people remained in their homes to prevent the spread of the virus and purchased bread that they kept around for longer.

[13] Mama Cheung made a video about how she had created sesame shrimp toast using bread that had been refrigerated for a few days.

[4] Mama Cheung in 2020 was one of the top 12 Hong Kong YouTube channels that teach cooking and had an increase of 9,000 subscribers in a one-month period beginning 9 July 2020.

Her husband warmed to her YouTube work after observing the joy she felt in making the videos, in becoming a great conversationalist, and in accumulating a lot of knowledge from her online browsing.

[15] She returned to studying and graduated from a Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, after which she worked in United Kingdom and Hong Kong restaurants.

[1][15] Mama Cheung and Kaman started a new segment on the channel called "Mother Daughter Kitchen" (Chinese: 媽女廚房).

[16] Viewers were initially dismissive of the segment, viewing Kaman as an interloper but warmed to her within a year of her appearing on the channel.

[4] Jenny Leung wrote in Timeout, "Teaching you how to make simple, home-style dishes that most Hongkongers would regularly see on the dinner table, Mama Cheung's recipes are all about authenticity.

"[6] Faye Bradley of The Loop HK called Mama Cheung "reminiscent of traditional Hong Kong favorites that we'd probably only see grandma or 'mama' cook with their years of generational learning" and praised "its easy-to-follow video tutorials" that allows viewers "to master local delicacies".
