About this app

A Bilingual Recipe Assistant Designed for Hong Kong Families

What to cook every night? How to communicate clearly with your housekeeping assistant about quantities, cooking time, and steps? "Wok Hei" (镬飲) was created to address this need—allowing Hong Kong employers and housekeeping assistants to view the same recipe in their respective native languages, eliminating language barriers and misunderstandings.

— Bilingual Recipe Sharing — Employers select their favorite dishes in "Wok Hei" and tap "Share with Housekeeping Assistant." The complete recipe is then sent to WhatsApp in Filipino, Indonesian, or English. The housekeeping assistant receives it and imports it into their own "Wok Hei" account to see the ingredients, steps, and cooking techniques in their native language.

— 100 Authentic Hong Kong Home-Style Dishes — From scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried beef with ginger and scallions, and Swiss chicken wings, to slow-cooked soups, clay pot rice, and classic Hong Kong-style cafe dishes, covering everyday meals and weekend dinners. Each recipe includes preparation time, difficulty level, portion size, and a recipe ID—even if someone doesn't understand Chinese, simply providing "recipe number 29" will find the same dish.

—Separate Planning for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner— Breakfast (sausage and egg), lunch (wonton noodles), and dinner (home-style stir-fry) can all be recorded and shared separately, eliminating the "what to cook tonight" dilemma. A week's menu is clearly displayed, with yesterday's meals clearly marked to avoid repeating the same dish two nights in a row.

—Completely Offline— All recipes, translations, and photos are pre-loaded into the app, allowing you to browse, plan, and cook without internet access. Even with poor signal on the ground while shopping, you can still access the app instantly.

—Automatic Shopping List Generation— Based on this week's menu, the system automatically compiles a list of needed ingredients, categorized by meal. The home assistant can check off items while shopping, operating offline for clarity and convenience.

— Dietary Preference Filter — Are family members averse to pork? Do they eat halal food? Do they prefer a light, low-oil diet? "Wok Hei" has a built-in dietary filter that automatically identifies dishes that don't fit your family's eating habits. Recipes containing alcohol, pork, beef, or fermented tofu (fermented bean curd/red bean curd) are clearly labeled, and halal-compatible dishes are also specifically marked.

— Designed for Employers and Domestic Helpers — Upon first launch, you can choose "I am the Employer" or "I am the Domestic Helper." The interface, language, and font size automatically adjust according to your role. The domestic helper interface has a larger font and clearer steps, making it easy to read while cooking; the employer interface is easier to browse, plan, and share. Mutual respect, each getting what they need.

— Target Audience —

• Hong Kong families employing foreign domestic helpers

• Domestic helpers working in Hong Kong who want to learn how to cook Hong Kong-style home-style dishes

• Recipe enthusiasts who want to learn about Cantonese cuisine culture and how to cook Hong Kong-style home-style dishes

— Pricing Model — Free download, free to use. The app is powered by banner ads, carefully placed so they won't disturb you while you're cooking, and won't appear above the share button.

— Our Commitment — All recipes are written by culinary consultants with experience in Hong Kong-style home cooking, and the translations undergo multiple rounds of manual review, with special attention paid to halal food labeling. We believe that allowing housekeeping assistants to read recipes in their native language is a sign of respect for their professional competence and cultural background.
