Introduction
With over a decade of experience as a restaurant chef, I'm excited to bring my culinary expertise and delicious dishes straight to your kitchen! Born and raised in Taiwan, my love for food and creativity led to pursue a career in the Culinary Arts, where I received rigorous training in classic French cuisine. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to mastering a diverse array of culinary styles and am proficient in the vibrant flavors of Modern American, Asian, Italian, and French cuisine. Fresh, seasonal, and wholesome dishes are what I love to both cook and indulge in at home.

Had an upscale fine dining experience with Chef Shine and she did a wonderful job. Her work speaks for itself and highlights her expertise and years of experience, everything was cooked to perfection, and she helped me create the perfect menu for the occasion. Professional, yet remaining very friendly and fun. I highly recommend her to anyone fortunate enough to work with her.

I recently booked Chef Shine through Thumbtack for Father’s Day, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. As new parents with an infant, going out to restaurants or leaving our child with someone wasn’t an option, so this was a perfect solution. From the get-go, Chef Shine's communication was prompt and professional. She arrived on time and prepared a fantastic four-course meal right in our kitchen, bringing all the necessary ingredients and cookware. The food's taste and presentation were top-notch, making it a truly special evening. Chef Shine also brought a sommelier who served and provided insightful information about the wine, adding an extra touch of elegance to the dinner. They even prepared tea and coffee for us at the end of the meal. Before leaving, they cleaned up the kitchen and took all their trash, leaving the place spotless. My husband was thoroughly surprised and delighted by the experience. For those who enjoy dining out, this is an excellent alternative. If you’re in the San Francisco area, I highly recommend Chef Shine for a memorable and unique dining experience at home.

Shine is an incredible chef and a wonderful human being. We have loved working with her for various dinners and meal prep. She's very skilled and prepares healthy, creative dishes. She's also easy to work with (great with communication) and takes all sorts of dietary restrictions into account. She is detail-oriented and deeply trustworthy. She's the best! I cannot recommend her enough.

I placed a personal order with Shine for 35 Taiwanese beef rolls. Each one was packaged nicely and neatly. Now onto the rolls themselves….. they are to DIE FOR. The scallion pancake was crisp and the ratio of meat was perfect… she definitely did not skimp!! She also mentioned that you could eat them cold or hot (I did both and they were amazing either way) the bits of cucumber and scallion added such nice balance in texture and fresh flavor. I really hope she opens a Tawainese roll shop because I would grab one to go everyday. Did I mention that I also ate one 2 days after the order and it still tasted exactly like the day I got them?! I’m sure she has other specialties, but these rolls were just ahhmazing and my colleagues have also been bugging me about ordering more. I wanted to leave this review because Shine was so easy to work with and super responsive, and as you can tell I cannot get over these beef rolls.
