About Homiah

A Message from our CEO & Founder Homiah means "to live the good life", expressing love and care, often by cooking for someone. Homiah began in the 1940s in Penang, the culinary capital of Malaysia, where my grandmother Nonie was a famous cook, and one of the first to codify local Southeast Asian "Nonya" recipes. Nonie's recipes became family heirlooms that I grew up cooking with. When I moved to America, I began sharing my cuisine and culture with friends. This passion for making others “homiah” became the basis for founding Homiah. Today, I personally craft Homiah’s products based on Nonie’s recipes, working alongside small producers in Malaysia and using only the highest-quality, wholesome spices. For me, Homiah is more than about food. It is deeply personal: it is about the ability of food to comfort and connect people to the world around them. Thank you for joining me on an exciting journey!
