Denise Chin often daydreams about what to eat next, having grown up in the vibrant and food-centric Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a mother and immigrant, these identities tend to influence her writing.
Denise has published in Provecho, a Portland-based BIPOC-focused magazine on food and identity; the anthology Telltale Food: Writings from the Fay Khoo Award, as well as a Malaysian online food portal, Periuk.my. Her second runner-up essay in Samfiftyfour’s Asian Diaspora Essay Contest will be included in the forthcoming anthology of Best Malaysian Food Writing (Nov 2024). She currently resides in Portland, OR with her husband and two little girls.
