In the barely three years since Chef May Chow (@littlebaomay) opened Little Bao in Hong Kong (@littlebaohk), she's become one of Asia's most recognizable chefs. She was named "Best Female Chef" in Asia by the organizers of the Asia's 50 Best Restaurant list, and at 32, she's the youngest recipient of the award to date.
