Infertility is a painful, exhausting, emotional and lonely journey. Those of you who know us personally, know that we have been through many hurdles in the last 5 years, with the deepest hope of bringing a child of our own into the world. After trying countless natural herbs and medicines, and alternative child-conceiving rituals, we sought a fertility specialist in 2019. We completed three rounds of medicated cycles, undergoing a Hysterosalpingography, and dilation/curettage procedure for polyps’ removal. Due to COVID-19, we had to stop all treatment.

February 2023

Building the Eggroll Queen kitchen from the ground up was an incredible journey of determination, hard work, and family unity. From the very beginning, the process involved meticulous planning with the city to ensure all regulations were met. We worked closely with professionals to design a functional floor plan that would bring our vision to life. Once the plans were approved, the real hands-on work began. We got down on our knees to lay floor tiles, installed ceiling tiles, and collaborated with plumbers, electricians, and our landlord to ensure every detail of the kitchen met the highest standards.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Eggroll Queen emerged as a lifeline for families in need, especially for children who relied on school lunches for their daily meals.
