DEVELOPED FOR LAN LAN

Lanlan emigrated from China to join her Fiancé, Mark Young, who is now her husband. She launched her business partly to combat boredom. At her first market foray, in Wollongong, She knew she had made the correct decisions. It took only 90 minutes for Lanlan Young to sell out her first batch of 500 home-made dumplings... Lanlan arrived in Dapto, near Wollongong in 2006. While Mark had employment, tedium at home for the formerly busy retail manager saw Lanlan spend more time in the kitchen. With Mark's encouragement, she began selling her grandmother's signature pork mince Shanghai style dumplings... Lanlan grew up in a home where staff prepared the meals. "I started cooking when I was 23 band I'd never really cooked before then. Only my grandmother cooked and she taught me a lot."
