Meena Cheng

Meena Cheng is a nonfiction writer, entrepreneur, and immigrant whose work explores Macanese cuisine, cultural identity, and the connections between food, memory, and transformation.

As the founder of Impact Financial, she built a thirty-year career grounded in trust and human connection. Along the way, she quietly set aside her own creative life. After a twenty-three-year silence, she returned to writing with renewed purpose.

Her work is shaped by a lifelong relationship with food as a source of connection and belonging. One of her fondest memories — preparing a fifty-course dinner for her brother's fiftieth birthday — reflects her belief that food carries history and love across generations.

Through memoir, cultural reflection, and culinary storytelling, she writes about identity and rediscovery, bringing greater visibility to the underrepresented story of Macanese cuisine.

Meena divides her time between New York and Las Vegas. She is currently working on her next nonfiction book, exploring family love and legacy through the lens of another Asian culinary culture.
