97. First Ever Cambodian American Wings with the Entrepreneurs behind Shlap Muan / Sophia and Hawk

Today's episode is an absolute gem. I'm joined by the incredible entrepreneurs Sophia and Hawk, who have become like family since the day we met. We're diving deep into our family’s history of survival to assimilating in America through hospitality and food. Our conversation explores their roots and the challenges of cultural identity. We reminisce about favorite childhood dishes highlighting the significance of home-cooked meals and the rich tapestry of Asian cuisines in Southern California, as well as their experience creating the first ever Cambodian American wings in Southern California. Join us on this enriching discussion about culture, language, and hospitality and get to know the owners of the most flavorful, innovative and tasty wings that is Shlap Muan.    Visit Shlap Muan at their pop ups in Southern California or at Smorgasburg in Los Angeles every Sunday. Follow their instagram @shlapmuan and give them a follow. These two are some of the most hardworking and genuine people I’ve gotten to meet in the food industry.  Connect with me: Email: mayly@donutprincessla.com Business Website: www.donutprincessla.com YouTube: Mayly Tao / DONUT PRINCESS LA Instagram: @donutprincessla / @maylytao Facebook: Donut Princess Los Angeles Twitter: Donut Princess LA Tiktok: teochewdaily LinkedIn: Mayly Tao Apple Podcast: Short N' Sweet: A Donut Princess Podcast *Watch the Donut King Film here: thedonutkingfilm.com (also available on Apple TV, Google Play, and Amazon Prime Now)
