Yuen | Eschede Creative

Yuen cooks authentic Chinese food on a thin street that smells like warm bread and fresh stew.

He and his wife Charlotte opened Yuen’s Asian Cuisine after Yuen perfected his Chinese cooking. Charlotte grew up in Enschede. She dated a Spaniard and “gained lots of weight” from his cooking. When she met Yuen, she lost pounds easily.

“He loves cooking. It’s his passion. He waked me up at four in the morning and says, ‘c’mon, let’s try a new dish’.”

Yuen cooks for Sophie and I as we watch.
“What do you like? Beef? Tofu? Fish? Curry?”

He races through the kitchen, throwing oil in a deep iron wok and flipping the colorful concoctions with ease.”

We sit with Yuen and Charlotte when the work is done and eat family style –
Tofu with black bean sauce, steamed filet, beef with curry and organic white wine.
