When French restaurateur Celine Chung opened her first restaurant Petit Bao in 2019, her goal was to challenge stereotypes about Chinese cuisine and establish a space where she could authentically express her multicultural identity. Having traveled across China during her college years to connect with her roots, Chung returned to her native France in a bid to revolutionize Chinese eateries. Her "Bao Family" franchise offers delicacies with a contemporary twist, through recipes that span the eight culinary regions of China.
