Hong Kong chef
Grace Choy

Grace Choy (traditional Chinese: 孫美華; simplified Chinese: 孙美华; born 1967) is a Hong Kong chef.

Early life and early career

Choy was born in 1967 in New Territories, Hong Kong. She has four brothers and two sisters and is the second youngest of the siblings. Her father, who ran a business selling mahjong tables and sets, died when she was five years old. Choy received a degree in secretarial information management at a university in the United Kingdom. Choy worked as a secretary for 10 years. She married Ken in 1998 and moved with him to Guangdong and Northeast China, assisting him with his Mainland Chinese business. She returned to Hong Kong in 2006 and joined Miele as an administrator in 2008 where she worked for two years.

Career

Choy started a 16-seat restaurant in Yuen Long in 2011. Named ChoyChoy (Chinese: 蔡菜館), the restaurant offered breakfast and light meals. The South China Morning Post said ChoyChoy was one of Hong Kong's top private kitchens. ChoyChoy relocated to Nishi azabu, Tokyo, in 2019.

She in 2018 wrote the cookbook Grace's 60 Recipes, which was awarded "Best Woman Chef Book" by Gourmand Awards in 2019.
