Yum Cha Sundays is a part of my SIK JOR FAHN MEI AH Series where I consider my connection to Chinese food by showcasing some of my favourite dishes from local Toronto restaurants. The series title in English means “have you eaten yet?”. It is a meant as a phrase of love and care.

Kelcy Timmons Chan (they/them) is a Cantonese Canadian American queer artist who works as a multidisciplinary contemporary pop artist and mural painter. In their work they explore community, duality and belonging through their lens as a biracial, gender-fluid, immigrant. In their practice, Kelcy considers how food allows us to connect with our history and identities. They explore how our relationships help define what home feels like and how it gives us space to belong to. Using food, little purple people and whimsical architecture, Kelcy promotes and supports local businesses, family-run restaurants and queer community spaces, by considering how food and people shape community and culture.
