About Me

Hi, welcome to my Food & Travel Blog! I'm Emmy TheeHungryChef, a food and travel enthusiast with an insatiable curiosity for discovering new flavours, cultures, and experiences around the globe.

My journey in life started in a way that could only be described as adventurous - born by the roadside, latenight while my mom was traveling. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I believe food is much more than a substance. To me, it’s a journey, a way to connect with places, people, and stories. I’m on a constant quest to explore and share all of it.

"I believe food is a bridge between cultures, a language everyone speaks". This space is where I share my adventures, stories, and the pure joy of discovering diverse food traditions around the globe. 

When I travel, I don’t just look for the “tourist spots” or the well-known landmarks. I’m on the lookout for hidden gems, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and local eateries that embody the true spirit of the place.

My love affair with food began at a young age. Growing up, the kitchen was the heart of our home, and my mom was at the center of it all. I was captivated by the magic that unfolded as she transformed simple ingredients into something extraordinary. To this day, she remains my greatest inspiration, and her lessons continue to guide me as I explore new cuisines and cultures around the world. Cooking is more than just a hobby for me; it’s a way to express my creativity, connect with my roots, and honour the traditions my mom passed down. Food and travel go hand in hand, both are about discovery, connection, and curiosity. They open doors to new experiences, new perspectives, and, of course, new flavors. It’s about breaking down barriers, whether cultural, geographical, or personal, and finding a shared experience through the universal love of good food.

Through this Blog, I aim to inspire people to step out of their culinary comfort zone and explore new flavors and destinations. Regardless of being a seasoned traveler or someone who loves to cook (or doesn’t know how to), you’ll find something here that sparks your curiosity..

Why I Do It?

At the core of what I do is the desire to share the joy of discovery.
