Chinese treats for struggling families

Michey Chan from London is bringing fine dining to some very happy schoolchildren.

“I’m head chef for staff at The Dorchester Hotel, so I’d usually be preparing up to 1,000 meals a day but now I’m helping to feed key workers’ children and staff at Manorfield primary school in East London.

“It’s been hugely humbling. Manorfield primary itself is such a warm and inviting environment and the children are friendly and very accepting. We hosted a Chinese day and created a full menu from scratch, featuring sweet and sour chicken balls, tofu fried rice and much more. Many of the children said it was the best food they have ever had.

“There are so many families in need in the area and we’re also feeding up to 450 of them with care parcels going out every week.

“Since doing this I’ve realised I love the teaching side of it now and I’d love to teach children all day if I could!”
