The 23-year-old, who goes by the name of "Ms
Yeah", began uploading her quirky cooking videos to Weibo,
China's microblogging service, in January.
She found new fans outside her home country when she posted
videos on YouTube, which is blocked in mainland China.
"I think I spend all of my spare time watching her videos,"
Kenny Dilian, a fan from Indonesia, told Reuters Television
during a YouTube FanFest in Hong Kong.
In one video, Ms Yeah uses an iron to grill strips of beef on
her desk. In another, she cooks hot pot inside a water
dispenser.
Dilian said his favorite video shows her dismantling a computer
processing unit and using the metal shell with a candle inside
to cook a Chinese pancake.
"She always has something new in the video. Sometimes it makes
he laugh so hard," he said.
Dilian was among a group of hardcore fans who lined up to meet
Ms. Yeah at the FanFest, where she performed a live show.
Aside from finding creative ways to cook using office equipment,
Ms Yeah also insists the videos have no narration.
"Everyone watches the video in silence, so foodies from all over
the world can understand what we are doing," she said.
