Wong also co-authored a cook book with her mom, Rose Cheung, “Healing Herbal Soups,” that details traditional and medicinal Chinese recipes with ingredients not typically found in western dishes like fish maw, hawthorn and red dates.

Mother and daughter duo, Rose & Genevieve, both grew up with Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a mother and entrepreneur, Rose inherited her fondness for herbal soup from her own mother, who grew up in a very traditional Chinese family in Hong Kong. After moving to the US for college, Rose married and settled down in Southern California. She owned a Chinese restaurant with her husband for a while, but it was her passion for Chinese medicine and herbs that were always at the forefront of her mind.

The product was subsequently patented and is currently available through select Traditional Chinese Medicine clinics in Asia.
