About LumDimSum

First and foremost, let me explain what LumDimSum is all about. Don’t be fooled by my name, this is not a blog about DimSum (although I am a HUGE fan) and it is not limited to discussions about dining in Beijing.

I decided to create LumDimSum to share my experiences (both personal and work related) with family & friends abroad, along with anyone interested in the life I live as a PR socialite in Beijing. As a newly graduated, ABC living in Beijing, my life has taken off on a path of its own and my goals and aspirations have morphed, grown, and leapt in ways I never expected or imagined.

Having lived in China for the past five years, my life and career goals have taken off like a roller coaster. I originally came to Beijing as a student at a private language program and within just two years, I’ve since planned two weddings (Alan & Hannah Wong’s Wedding 6.6.09 and Ken & Julia Li’s Wedding 5.15.10), hosted two restaurant openings (Hatsune & Karaiya Spice House in Sanlitun Village), two club/lounge openings (Club Decollete & Club Glen in 1949), organized 2 fashion shows including the launch of candy&caviar, and managed the PR, Marketing and Media for Beijing’s top nightlife and dining destinations: Block8, BLING, LAN Club, the Hatsune Restaurant Group, just to name a few.

LumDimSum not only recaps some unique experiences and thoughts on my daily life in Beijing but also serves as a platform for me to discuss my personal opinions on Beijing nightlife and dining along with the inside scoop on my work and the venues I represent. Shameless self-promotion aside, I hope that LumDimSum will provide valuable insight and tips to Beijing’s hot spots and top upcoming events around town.
