Episode 3: Ukraine

2024-02-06
When we talk about Ukraine, most of us will think of her as a country of beauties in the first place but we don’t have a deep understanding of her food culture. Even in Hong Kong, the Culinary Capital, there are very few restaurants specialising in Ukrainian cuisine. Oksana and Olena are a pair of sisters from Ukraine. They came to Hong Kong to settle more than ten years ago. They had opened an online store selling ingredients imported from their hometown, Russia and eastern European countries such as Georgia. Subsequently, they opened their restaurant, and often personally prepared hometown cuisines for their customers from all over the world using authentic Ukrainian ingredients. The two sisters have been passionate about cooking since childhood, Oksana, the elder sister, is more into main dishes, while Olena, the younger sister, is fond of making desserts. They hope they can stick to their hometown taste and bring Ukrainian food culture into Hong Kong.
