In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman meets a true legend of the South African culinary scene: Emma Chen, founder of the iconic Red Chamber and People’s Republic of Noodles! 🇿🇦🥢
Emma shares her extraordinary life journey. Growing up in a military camp in Taiwan to parents who fled Northern China, studying English literature, moving to South Africa over 40 years ago, and revolutionising how South Africans view authentic Chinese cuisine. Moving away from westernized takeaway tropes, Emma introduced Joburg to authentic dim sum nearly four decades ago and continues to celebrate real regional street food flavor.
Nick sits down with Emma to taste PRON’s famous hand-cut wheat noodles, slow-simmered beef flank broth, home-style Sichuan chili sauce, and even a celebratory shot of 58% Baijiu! 🥃🍜
