Soy 🤍

2021 @aiaawards Foodie of the Year 😭❤️🏆 thank you to everyone that nominated, voted & supported me. This is as much YOUR award as it is mine. I remember being at my lowest point last year, feeling lost & confused, I started making videos as a way to use my platform to help others like restaurants during the pandemic & share my own mental health journey. Along the way, we gained new friends but kept the same heart & purpose. I hope this helps anyone going through with something because I can honestly say the best is yet to come. No matter what believe in yourself & the good of the world. I’m so happy & hope this opens so many opportunities for others out there. I’m a Vietnamese kid from Florida covering food in Los Angeles, anything is possible. This is just the start ❤️ huge thank you to my team, manager, family & friends for all the support!! (ps since the awards ceremony was virtual this year, my cousin, threw a little get together w/ all my fav food - so just wanted to share so you guys can feel like you were there too 💕) . . . #aiaawards2021 #aiawards #americaninfluencerawards #influencer #awardwinning #award #foodie #foodblogger #gratitude #thankyou

WE’re on a billboard 💙🥹 Thank you for giving me the space & confidence to bloom into who I am today. From someone that grew up feeling like I had to always fit in, I finally realize the true power is if you show up to spaces as you are, then you’ll always find your way. Proudly part of the #APIFamily and Vietnamese American.

My mom’s pregnancy craving when she was pregnant with me was Taco Bell… so I recreated it in miniature 🌮 Collect all 8 of the Miniverse Taco Bell collectibles while they’re still in stock! @officialminiverse #ad #Miniverse #miniversetacobell #tacobellminis

BUTTER CHICKEN PIZZA 🍕 from @badmaashla & @primepizzala (two LA favorites) 👏 #pizza #indianfood #butterchicken

Moving to California felt healing—and almost like entering “a new country,” says @soy . For the first time, she saw Vietnamese and Asian cultures openly embraced, a stark contrast to Florida. The full story: /soy-nguyen-foodie-influencer-feature By @julianne.ailinh

Did you know Hollywood is home to some of the best Thai food outside of Thailand? @mesathaila is one of those spots I constantly go back to! Ask for their specials bc they have more than just pad thai! All their recs are good including the boat noodles (I got another time) + nicest staff!! #foodadventure #pov #solodining
