She then moved on to editor positions at Where Hong Kong, HK Magazine and various titles under the HK Magazine group, and was most well known for her role as resident dining columnist at HK Magazine. She left in 2015 to start her own publishing company, Man Mo Media (http://www.manmomedia.com/), which is the parent company of The Loop HK.
