Hi, I’m Eva Pau
Presenter of Eva Pau’s Asian Kitchen on RTÉ One and part of the family behind Ireland’s largest Asian supermarket, Asia Market. I grew up in the heart of Asia Market in Dublin, surrounded by sacks of rice, shelves filled with sauces, and ingredients from every corner of Asia. For me, food was never simply about what was on the plate. It was family, culture, connection, and a way of bringing people together.
My parents opened Asia Market in Dublin in the late eighties, and that little shop became my entire world. While other kids had playgrounds, I had aisles packed with ingredients most Irish people had never heard of. I learned about food by stacking shelves, helping customers, and watching my mum cook without ever measuring a thing.
Now, I’m on a mission to make Asian cooking feel as approachable and exciting as it should be. Whether you’re shopping in our store, watching me on TV, or cooking from my recipes, I want to show you that Asian ingredients aren’t intimidating.
Welcome to my kitchen. I’m so glad you’re here!
