Susan Jung | Food Columnist, Vogue Hong Kong and Academy Chair | The Woman Who Shaped Asian Food | Luck, Journalism & Culinary Power in Asia

She didn’t set out to shape Asian food culture.She simply followed work, curiosity, and timing. From pastry kitchens to becoming one of the most influential food editors and voices in Asia, Susan Jung’s journey sits at the intersection of luck, discipline, and instinct. This conversation goes beyond food.It’s about how taste is documented, how chefs become legends, and how cities like Hong Kong helped define modern Asian dining. We explore: * The accidental path from pastry chef to editor * How hospitality shaped her judgment * The rise of Asian culinary identity * Why humility matters more than opinion in food criticism * And what truly defines “great hospitality” today Not a story about fame.A story about presence, timing, and paying attention long enough to matter.
