Meet Chef Arlen Wong
Welcome to BFresh! I’m Arlen Wong — a globally inspired home chef, recipe creator, and fresh food enthusiast based in Hong Kong. My kitchen philosophy is simple yet powerful: fresh food, thoughtfully prepared, brings joy not only to the table but to life itself.
Raised in a bustling multicultural city and exposed to diverse culinary traditions, I grew up fascinated by how fresh ingredients connect people across continents. From Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market to a quaint farmer’s stand in Provence, I’ve found that the world’s best meals begin with the same secret: freshness.
Why I Cook with Fresh Ingredients
Fresh food isn’t just a preference — it’s a way of living. I believe that every dish tells a story, and the best stories start with ingredients that are full of life. At BFresh, every recipe is a celebration of what nature provides — crisp vegetables, ocean-fresh seafood, free-range meats, and vibrant herbs.
Cooking with fresh food not only enhances taste and nutrition, it promotes sustainability and supports local communities. Whether it's a Thai-inspired herb salad or an Italian tomato confit, I aim to honor the origin of each ingredient and bring its natural beauty to the plate.
From Local Roots to Global Plates
My culinary journey began in my grandmother’s kitchen in Sheung Wan, where the aroma of ginger fish soup and stir-fried greens filled the air daily. But my true awakening came while traveling — from learning how to hand-roll sushi in Kyoto to mastering French sauces in Lyon. I realized that food transcends borders and that cooking fresh is a universal language of love and care.
Today, I combine Asian home-cooking wisdom with international techniques, presenting recipes that are easy to recreate at home yet rich in global flavor. My goal is to help you bring the world into your kitchen — one fresh ingredient at a time.
The BFresh Philosophy
At BFresh, we believe food should be:
- Fresh and seasonal: Recipes follow the rhythms of nature, so you cook with what’s best — when it’s best.
- Globally inspired: Each dish is rooted in authenticity but flexible for your home kitchen.
- Simple and joyful: Good food doesn’t have to be complicated. I show you how to bring restaurant-quality meals into your everyday life.
Every recipe you find on BFresh has been tested, tasted, and loved — made with the same level of care I would give my own family.
