I’M GOING ON TOUR!! for my upcoming memoir “The Girl Who Became King”. I’m excited to see you in your city, hang for a while, and go deep together on some life stories! Some events are Q/A style with familiar friends, others are meet and greets with a book signing. Tell your friends, grab your tickets, and I hope to see you there. Visit the link in my bio or website for tour dates and tickets! 📷: @ashleybatz 🖤 Design: @henrique.penha.fotografie ❤️ 10 Aug 2026 THERE SHE IS. ❤️👑 I wrote another book and this one doesn’t have recipes! 🥹 I am so proud to share this deeply personal memoir I’ve been quietly chipping away at for the past 6 years. I thought writing my cookbook was the biggest challenge of my career, but this one took everything in me. (Btw, never let me write 2 books at the same time ever again 🤣😵‍💫). “THE GIRL WHO BECAME KING” is about the version of me I thought I had to be, and the person I was slowly becoming underneath it all. A part of me is nervous to tell some of these very intimate vulnerable stories from coming out, my relationship with my family, all the anxieties and emotional dialogue that can sometimes trap me in my mind, but I hope in letting you see more of me, they help you feel a little less alone in your journey. I like to think of my book as part The Bear, part The Joy Luck Club meets baby queer coming of age rom com! But you tell me! Your messages, kind words, and personal stories many of you have shared with me over the years are what gave me the courage to continue sharing mine, so thank you. If you’ve ever felt caught between who you are and who the world expects you to be, I wrote this for you. 💋 (And baby me❤️) Pre-orders mean everything for a book like this so if you’re able to support, order a copy at the link in my bio for yourself or someone you love. Or just a simple share of your excitement will mean a lot! Thank you all for always showing up for me! You have my food & recipes in “COOK LIKE A KING”, now I can’t wait to share the mush gushy parts of me with you. 🫶 THE GIRL WHO BECAME KING, available Oct 6.

Want to know how to make me cry? 😭 I’m beyond excited to finally share with you that I’ll be visiting @sesamestreet as they introduce their first ever Asian American muppet named Ji Young — she’s 7 years old, Korean, and loves tteokbokki! I’ll be in the kitchen cooking with the best sous chef in town: Cookie Monster! 😭😭😭 Sweet Little Gonger was hanging around too (not enough cry faces for all of this!) #monsterfoodie This was such a bucket list moment for me. Growing up as a Chinese American, Sesame Street helped me learn English when my parents spoke only Cantonese at home. My all time favorite, Cookie Monster, inspired me to explore new foods while also remembering to eat all the cookies in my mom’s cookie jar. I was probably Ji Young’s age when I was glued to the tv juggling Sesame Street and episodes of Julia Child and Yan Can Cook on PBS. I couldn’t be more proud and honored to be a part of this special AAPI episode to empower Ji Young and other children to embrace the beauty of Asian foods and other cultures, support one another, and know that we all belong. 💕 You’ll see me and a few other amazing AAPI friends like @padmalakshmi @simuliu @naomiosaka @jimlee @annacathcart on this special episode of “See Us Come Together” airing on @hbomax and @pbskids Thanksgiving day! Thank you to my amazing @wme @staym88 teams @adelineporis @jbider12 @ericalingg @gingypants @ranaburgundy @psun68 and the SS family for making this dream happen.

At one point, my mom, dad, stepdad, and I were all onstage singing along with my mom’s live band. 🥹😭 It was a beautiful, healing moment for our family that I’ll always cherish. Thank you to my mom for throwing the most epic parties, to my aunties, uncles, family, and friends for showing up with so much love, and to @opentable @debbysoo @weiweieatswell Robin for helping make this celebration extra special. ❤️ #GIRLKING #memoir #liondancers #sgveats 21 Oct 2026
