"Healthy Food - That Tastes So Good " - Tommy Leung
Sun Oct 19 2025
What if healthy food actually became the most delicious part of your day? We sit down with entrepreneur and food innovator Tommy Leung to unpack how flavour-first meals, smart nutrition, and precision fermentation can turn good intentions into a habit you’ll enjoy keeping.
Tommy’s journey stretches from family-run Chinese restaurants in Sweden to leading a modern meal service designed for busy professionals. He breaks down why high protein and high fiber are only half the story—taste is the engine of consistency. We explore how his team reworked meal prep from the ground up: fresh, from scratch sauces and curries; 24 rotating options each week from salmon to shredded chicken; flexible chilled deliveries; and macros printed on every label with QR codes for instant ingredient transparency. If you’ve struggled with calorie counting, portion creep, or meal boredom, you’ll take away a simple system to get variety without losing control.
We also dive into gut health and the surprising power of fermented foods. Tommy explains how fermentation transforms humble ingredients into umami-rich staples—think miso, soy sauce, kimchi—and why temperature control is the secret to consistent, safe, and expressive flavors. That insight drove the creation of HakkoBako, a professional fermentation chamber now used by top chefs and bartenders to fine-tune ferments at scale. Beyond flavor, we discuss sustainability wins like upcycling kitchen trimmings and how thoughtful tech can reduce waste while elevating taste.
Threaded through the conversation are hard-won startup lessons: talk to customers before you build, keep focus tight, separate tools and spaces to avoid context switching, and iterate in public. Whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply eat better with less stress, this episode offers a practical blueprint: make it delicious, make it easy, track what counts, and add ferments for a happier gut. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what would you like to see on a healthy menu next?
