Born and raised in Singapore, Emily Lim is a Culinary Institute of America graduate, 2024 James Beard Award semi-finalist, and Rising Star Chef honoree. A Chopped Champion and Guy’s Grocery Games Champion, she’s also appeared on Beachside Brawl and in numerous national publications.
Emily founded Dabao Singapore to share the bold, soulful street food she grew up with, starting as a pandemic-era meal kit project to comfort homesick Singaporeans.
