My Kids Are Hungry

The place to go for an Asian fusion of flavours

My Kids Are Hungry promises home-cooked Vietnamese comfort food made with only natural and fresh ingredients.

Born out of lockdown, Vivien – a mother of three hungry kids – founded My Kids Are Hungry as a social media guide to home-cooked Vietnamese recipes and quickly built a cult following with her delicious Asian fusion dishes.

All of the food on offer at My Kids Are Hungry, including their rare and authentic street food snacks, are nut-free.
