Home-based microbakery operations

Leung operates the business called Lucky Yu without a traditional shopfront or set opening hours. Customers either pre-order online or arrive on the day to collect their bakes through a kitchen window. Queues regularly form outside her residence in Walthamstow despite the lack of seating.

Specific menu offerings

The bakery features items such as mala, coriander, and congee alongside other baked goods. A sign with a hand-painted goldfish points toward the kitchen window to guide buyers. Leung describes starting the venture as a positive alignment of circumstances rather than bad luck.
