Eva Pau, commercial director of family business Asia Market, on being immersed in Irish culture from an early age.
My father grew up in Guangzhou in China and my mother in Hong Kong, but they’d lived in the UK for a few years before moving to Ireland in the early 1980s, so there was no huge culture shock when they arrived in Dublin. My uncle was already living here with his Irish wife, running a Chinese takeaway in Rathfarnham. He would travel to London in a van every week to buy ingredients, and that’s how the idea for the Asia Market came about.
