🤍🤍 the best team 🥹
Discovering and immediately loyal to ATE just because of how good they are to Inga through this 💜
We're all so proud of you Inga! While I love seeing you on A.T.E, I enjoy seeing you on your own channel so much!
you're all the best istg 😭
@@IngaLam Love you sm!

Over the years, I've fallen in love with the videos by you, Rie, Andrew, Alvin, Alix, and a few others. I can definitely understand the dangers of tying your self worth to any outside entity. My self love used to be tied to my wife's momentary moods. If she was mad at me, I felt like a piece of trash. I would never wish that sort of grief on anyone. I know y'all don't need my approval, but you whole-heartedly have it. Each of you in your own special way help me appreciate the simple things in life, whether it be coffee, cake, lasagna, or ramen. When I was depressed after my divorce, I didn't know how to enjoy anything. When someone opens my eyes to why I should love anything in life, it makes me want to keep going. And it also makes me want to see them keep going. Be your own biggest fan, and I'll settle for being the second biggest fan of you all. Deal?
This is the sweetest thing I've seen on the internet in forever
we just watched whenn a man loves a woman in my iop group and there was somone at an al-anon meeting that said the same thing. glad you sorted things out.
You and the A.T.E team are one of the few Buzzfeed members’ work I actually consistently follow on different plateforms. And you have a soft spot in my heart because of your genuine personality and love for what you do. We are here for you whether you post or take a break, we will always be ready to appreciate your hard work and support you every step of the way you chose. Love from France 🥖❤️
This video must've been so hard to record, but I'm really in awe at how honest you are. I feel like so many of the issues I see people struggle with (I work in mental health) can be summed up by that tug-and-pull between leaving your comfort zone (emotionally, financially) and doing something that feels more authentic to you. I've always rooted for you and this will only make me root even harder. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us! Sending you lots of hugs from Canada.

You’re my favorite! I really resonated with your thoughts about food and ingredients. You made me love condiments so much more and I thank you for being you. That’s so valuable. And no one can take that away. Whatever you choose be happy and love your experience here on earth. I love you chatty and cathartic cooking vlogs. I love getting to share the restaurants you like. You are just the vibe. Sorry for the long ass comment. Just know you are helping people in ways you didn’t realize. Thank you soo much. Big virtual hugs!
pls don't apologize, i love your long ass comment 🥺 thank YOU
WE'VE MISSED YOUUU SO BAD, INGA!!! WELCOME BACK!!! WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST!!! ^^
So happy for your next chapter! I love your “what I eat in a day series” the recipes are still new but approachable, they remind me to do the things that make me happy and cooking is one of them so looking forward to getting more inspiration from you!
Seeing you with your mom and exploring your roots and speaking chinese have all been so fun to watch. Hope to see more of it.
honestly i love all your videos, whatever you enjoy doing and whatever you want to experiment doing i will be here to support your content! i loved seeing your videos on the other platforms/channels throughout the years and i’m excited to see where 2023 takes you!
I’m so happy for you Inga! I hope you take enough time to recharge. ❤ You’re such a love. I love your color videos, and I hope you’re able to get the spark back.
What I love most about you and your channel is that it feels like you're excited about learning. You don't cook and create something without trying a new technique, a new ingredient, a new approach...and you share that wisdom with us! It sounds like that will always be part of your work and life, and I'm excited for this next chapter :)
Hey Inga! I appreciate you sharing your experience and recent challenges. In this video you asked what we’d like to see but honestly, we’ll tune in to whatever you come up with, even it’s short and simple videos. Just do what makes you happy! Experiment and have fun with it. ❤
Thank you for all the awesome and genuine vids over the years :) so nice to hear you strive to improve yourself. It’s tough realizing you’ve hit that plateau. But admirable to reach up and out of that comfort zone for the next challenge.
Thanks for sharing your personal feelings! Don't feel pressured by anything and good luck in this next chapter! Moving on is always hard, but you have so much support!
Can’t wait to see what’s to come! I admire you and your videos are like therapy. Thank you for all the joy you bring us Inga! ❤
Excited for you, Inga! Your content is always so genuine and engaging. Please don’t over-stretch, your community will be here whenever you’re ready!
I am so happy to hear that you are chasing your happiness and growth now, I would love to see an easygoing chill day in the life videos cause your lighting and filming style is always beautiful and i know you willdo them so well.
Hi Inga! I'm here for what ever you want to show us. I learned about ingredients and sauces I had never heard of or knew of but never used. And I tried some! So I will be here for everything. Thank you! 💙💙💙
Girl, I'm just excited and happy to see you're back on UA-cam! I've missed your videos and your positivity.
im happy you're making more videos on your own channel cause they make me feel so peaceful and calm
We support you Inga! Can’t wait to see what you do next! I love all your calming cafe content and would love to see more of that 🤩 also your Taiwanese and Cantonese food content. I honestly would buy your cookbook in a heartbeat
I'm excited to see what is next. I always enjoyed watching your videos. They're so genuine and I know you put so much love and effort into it. Can't wait, I know it will be great!
Can’t even lie Inga. You are one of the biggest reasons I got into cooking. Before the pandemic I was just some high school kid without purpose, but through the unadulterated enthusiasm in your videos and the videos of countless other creators I found purpose through food and cooking for others. I now work as a chef/cook and actually want to pursue cooking content creation while currently being a student in college, all I can say is thank you for being you! Glad you’re taking a step onward to refresh yourself; good luck in all your future endeavors and thank you for being a driving force in my culinary journey 🙌.
It's nice to know that you're taking care of yourself. I've always admired your enjoyment of food and the creativity which you create with. Excited to see this new chapter in your life ♡
So so proud of you, Inga! You got this, and I'm so excited to follow you on this new thrilling journey to rediscover yourself! We enjoy seeing you on your own channel so much. Good luck and best of things!
great to see you back Inga! Keep them awesome content coming! Always watch the ATE and always seeing your IG shares!! Take a easy and step at a time, never push yourself too much a break here and there always help! 🥰
Proud of you, Inga! Excited to see what this new chapter of your life will bring. Taking care of yourself should always be your #1 priority- of course we'll stick around! ❤
creators prioritizing their mental health and happiness is my love language. I'm so glad you're choosing you 🥰 as for what I want to see... literally anything you do, but I come back and rewatch your "what I ate in a day" videos on the regular. those videos are like lofi come to life.
love this!! it feels good to change course, regain energy. i love seeing others (and i really really enjoyed your talk because i have been watching your content for a while
As always, you are so relatable and down to earth. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open, I’m excited to see where you go , I will always be on your side of supporting yourself and your identity in your heart towards your happiest life!! ❤
In a world of irresponsibilty and loudness, be an Inga.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your openness, talking about our mental health is so important.
I love to see every video that makes you thrive.
Your introspection, courage, and willingness to be completely transparent paves the way for a future with absolutely no limitations, how utterly thrilling!
Thank you for sharing! I'm so happy for you. Watching you put together beautiful breakfasts in a tiny apartment is one of my comforts/inspirations to treat myself well when I can. :)
So excited for your new adventure! Love who you were in the past but even more excited for the new content on your channel! Happy growth! You always make my heart smile!
The way you worded everything is very relatable. Taking the step to break out of your own comfort bubble can be scary, but also exciting. I hope this new journey will bring you everything you hope to find along the way, and then maybe even some more😊 I am looking forward to see what you will do and I wish you the best☺️❤️
It's so hard to separate our identities from our jobs because we spend so many freaking hours a week doing it. I'm so happy that you took some time and are getting reacquainted with yourself. I wish you so much love and success on this new journey of yours. We can't wait to see what you have in store!
Thank you for always being cheerful, it honestly brings a smile to my face whenever you make a video. Even here, your genuineness shines through. Here's to a great start on your new journey, looking forward to it!!
Inga, I love your channel here on UA-cam! Thank you for sharing what must have been so hard to do. Sharing your passion for food and cooking. While having it also be part of your struggle and mental wellbeing.
I'm very proud of you and all your accomplishments. And happy you have taken the time to re-evaluate your goals. I love seeing your smiling face and bubbly disposition. It really make me happy!! I know change is hard, and branching out to grow is going to be a challenge. But I'm cheering for you!! Whatever you do, I know you will give it your all. And I'm here to support you in your future endeavors. Hang in there, and know that we love you! *Hugs*
Thank you for keeping your fans in the loop, this was so nice to hear. I'm really happy you took time to evaluate what was important to you. Very excited for this new chapter, the only thing I ask is that you be yourself, that's why we are all here. Much love. ❤
Inga, love your energy, you and Alvin both helped me through a lot of the lock downs during the pandemic. Please keep going and do what you love doing. you guys rock!
Sending you love and positive vibes as you embark on this new chapter of your life! When you talked about being drained and overworked and lost - I felt that. I had been there around the pandemic, and I am SO hoping for only the best for you.
My favorite videos of yours have always been the ones on your personal channel. I found them incredibly soothing when I was going through some very hard times. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this channel💜
Oh inga, you are so strong! Thank you for sharing. And for all your wonderful contributions to ATE and buzzfeed over the years. We will miss you so much in ate but can’t wait to see what you do moving forward
Your videos got me through a really tough time myself. I was so inspired by you! I’m glad that you are taking care of yourself, as much as I love your content your health & well being is just as important! You’re still inspiring people like me! ❤
I’m proud of you for taking this step in your life. I’ve loved watching the videos you’ve made and been a part of and I’ll be here watching whatever you decide to make next. I can’t wait 😊
Inga, you are the best! I‘m watching your content for I guess like 3 years. You and Alvin are my favourite food related Content creator. Keep going! We all believe in you!
Inga你很棒了!!!!!
You're one of the creators that truly is proud of your identity, your motherland Taiwan, and i felt so represented.
Thank you for your honesty & transparency! Your personality and smile are always a joy to watch. Wishing you all the best on this new chapter in your life! Excited for you!
Thanks for everything! I am still watching and watching since there's so much and really enjoy it. Following you on Instagram as well is a treat. Wishing you the very, very best as you write the next chapters and looking forward to seeing you, learning from you and simply enjoying with you. Thank you!
your genuine personality shines through in all your videos and it's that which keeps me coming back for more. i look forward to what the future holds for you. keep on keeping on, inga.
This hits so close to home. We all may be in different industries, but the effect on mental health of burndown from overwork due to quarantine is something that is common across many of us and needs to be discussed more. Thank you for speaking out about this and sharing your story.
Personally, I felt that my experiences over the past few years (including lack of growth opportunities and leaving a comfortable company that I loved) mirrored your experience to a T. So hearing you speak about this, in many ways, brings validation, comfort and inspiration.
I would watch you do anything! Just love your energy and optimistic vibes so much! Anything you love doing, please! I am sure all of us would want to see you happy and fulfilled!☺
Definitely will stick around for whatever you choose to share with us Inga! I have always loved your energy and enthusiasm in your videos, and I'll surely support whatever you may choose to do next. All the very best! 🧡
I relate to this so strongly. I'm getting my PhD right now and have struggled with self-isolating and otherwise hurting myself / distancing myself from relationships because I based my value entirely on what I could produce. Remember that this community supports you no matter how much or little you make. Your health and happiness come first.
Inga not only your elation is contagious, but every emotion you've been through does reach us, you have that sort of energy. And be it a corporate channel or your own channel, I'll always be rooting and cheering from afar for the person who made me fall in love with experimenting with food.
Kudos to you for sharing this with us,
More power, health and happiness to you ALWAYS.
Incredible. Love that you are so brave . It’s not always easy to
Move on if you still like what you do. Can’t wait what you will do next. Thank you for sharing
I'm excited to see what things you enjoy. Whether that's in your regular format, new formats, a vlog, etc. It could be a sit down and chat, more recipes, more about your culture, anything! 💕
Burn out is real and you're not alone, I'll still be continuing to follow on your journey.
We got this !
Welcome back Inga here to love and support you (and fyi I never unsubscribed) ❤
Im always amazed by your videos on your channel, Inga! Like they're so aesthetic yet the foods n drinks look incredibly appetizing 😭 id love to see more videos on your channel 💖
I learnt a couple of lovely recipes from you and I love your videos!
Take good care of yourself and be happy!
It is okay to feel lost at times (especially in such a crazy time) and take as many breaks as you needed to!
Looking forward to 2023 Inga and all the very best!
If I could like this video a thousand times, I would. I don't really have suggestions for "things I'd like to see"... other than "things, when you're finished them, make you happy to have done," because that really comes out on camera, and we love seeing you happy. 😀 Can't wait for this new chapter!
Thank you so much Inga!! I'm from a little town in Brazil, and your channel allowed me to learn and experience so much about a different culture. I love cooking and the format of your videos bring me fun and peace, which is something I appreciate a lot. Thank you for sticking around, cause i was really confused on how this announcement was heading to. But I'm so so so happy that it was happy news. Love you
Wishing all the best for you going forward! I've really loved the 'what I eat in a day' videos, as well as the ones creating a more complex dish, but I'm happy to see anything really - as long as it's exciting for you as a creator to make!
So looking forward to see where your journey takes you! I love your cooking videos, your food travel videos, any videos that showcase your specific love of things that most people might not know about or understand. Your sincere and passionate personality is what is so captivating. Looking forward to your next adventures!❤
Welcome back, Inga! I wish you luck in this new chapter of your life!
After burning out while working at restaurant, there was one advice someone gave me that really hit me pretty hard. " Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Just because you're capable of pushing through tired eyes and mental breakdowns, it doesn't mean you should do it. Put yourself first and your passion will revive itself. Have a conversation with yourself and be honest. Know your faults and strengths then accept them . I love this channel and I am excited to see you flourish! 💗✨
So proud of you. Continue on learning to take care of yourself. Would love to see you sharing your Cantonese and Taiwanese roots. Both cooking and just learning more about you.
Super awesome of you to be so self aware, forthright and detailed about your journey. Appreciate your content. Good luck!
I completely relate to your burn out talk, I went through the same thing in 2020 and was working nonstop on my projects (I'm an artist) quite literally to the point where I would forget to eat some days until late at night. The workload I gave myself was way too much for what was necessary but I was so stressed out and felt like I somehow needed to do this much to keep up with everything- unfortunately ended up losing a 6 year relationship through my mess of a year and grew apart from my friends. I feel like I kinda skipped over that time and processing it all has been hard. Taking care of yourself truly is the most important thing I've realised and I hope at least what I've said may help you realise you weren't alone in the way you were feeling :o) I value your content but not at the cost of yourself!! you have been the late night ramen companion that has helped me through many a night tired after painting all day
Yay! Inga!!! I’m so glad to hear you publicly talking about this. Honestly we are all going through it. Your vulnerability make you (and us all) stronger.
Here’s what I’d love to see:
1. More quiet, gentle, atmospheric videos where you set hot food by a cold window and eat while you look outside.
2. More of this, if you are comfortable. More Inga realness. I’m here because I vibe with who you are. More of your truth will always be welcome. 💖
Also will drop you message inga keep in touch
I like this idea - would love cozy food content.
Inga, I enjoy your content! I was always apprehensive about trying new recipes but your fun, gentle nature gave me confidence. Wishing you all the best for the future!
Change is so scary! But sometimes very necessary! I’m so happy for you! I know you will do amazing things! ♥️✨ all the love from Phoenix,AZ I’ve been following you for so long!
Hi Inga! Thanks for sharing this sensitive topic with your fans. Hoping for nothing but the best for you!
I really love watching Inga's videos, because I really admire her as a person. She's so chill, childlike yet so mature, and so real.
Thank you for who you are Inga❤🤍😊
:( POV: Are we really getting old? (slowed reverb) ua-cam.com/video/E-xCW5SZu58/v-deo.html
so happy for you Inga! i hope 2023 brings you the peace, mindfulness, & creative outlet you're looking for
Thank you so much for all of the content you have given us over the years. You have always been informative and entertaining. Best wishes on your new endeavors. Looking forward to it.
Inga has always been my favorite creator, she works so hard and puts her all into everything. Wishing you the best Inga, we love you! 💛
plus she sounds like my fave cartoon, timmy turner
Thank you Inga for opening up about the struggles you went through during the pandemic. I also had a really tough time but never felt like I could never be super open about it because I knew other people were going through much worse, but now I realized that we should all just be open about talking about what happened because keeping it bottled in doesn't help anyone. I think this next step for you makes total sense and I'm so excited to see where you go! I really love your what I eat in a day content and your recipes. I would love to see content of you visiting your favorite restaurants and I think travel vlogs would be really cool! As a Taiwanese-American person I love when you share Taiwanese recipes because they make me want to try them all and make me miss Taiwan! Congrats on taking this next step and I'm so proud of you!
:( POV: Are we really getting old? (slowed reverb) ua-cam.com/video/E-xCW5SZu58/v-deo.html
Lovely update. Am in the same situation and I could totally understand what you experienced. Glad that you found yourself in a better spot now. Looking forward to your new creations!
I’m so happy for you!! I feel like this will be good for you and I LOVE your solo content! I can’t wait to learn more Asian recipes from you.
can't wait to see the new content!
So proud of you! Figured you left buzzfeed! Can’t wait to see more of your own content! Love your personality and your food looks amazing! You’re going to do great in whatever you want to do! ❤❤❤
My favorite creator, Inga! I love watching any video you are in and I can't wait to watch any content you create. Stay healthy! Love you and happy 2023!
Hi Inga. I'm so looking forward to the new videos you will be uploading on your channel!
And I'm glad you took the time to reflect and prioritize what you wanted out of life and work. It's not easy and it can be scary. I'm wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Excited to see you regain that spark for creativity while you continue to grow your channel! I think most of us could tell the burnout was real for you. So happy for you, Inga!

Hi Inga! You might not see this comment, but I just wanted to say that you were one of the main reasons why I appreciate food and culinary arts a lot more especially during the pandemic. I also resonate with your feelings of existentialism during quarantine, as I found the initial isolation daunting but also an opportunity for me to do some introspection and let myself heal after many years of self-afflicted mental and emotional pain for various reasons throughout middle and high school. You were also one of the main inspirations for me trying out writing for my college’s good magazine as a freshman. While I don’t write for them anymore, I will always remember our conversation you had with me and others at Cornell during a Zoom call, taking the time to talk to each of us and answer each of our questions. Best of luck to you in the rest of your journey, and keep us updated!
I'm glad to hear from you on your own channel. I'm glad you're ok, and considering how to move forward. I wish you health and happiness from now on
I totally resonate with the restlessness you described, and having my worth wrapped up in my work . A lot of us have similar feelings, so thanks for sharing and reminding us we're not alone in those feelings. All the best for your next chapter! 💕 May we all have the courage to try something new if we're not happy 🙂
Sup Inga. First off, I'm glad you've opened up and told us something we weren't aware of.
Second, and I cannot stress this enough do what is right for YOU, before anything else.
Something I've learned throughout the years is this: You have to worry about YOURSELF first.
Yes, we are your fans, and yes we enjoy the content you give. But we're also just other human beings who MUST respect the fact that at the end of the day, you have to walk the path that you want.
I personally always liked everyone's appearance on Worth It, that's where I first saw you and the gang.
Always a treat when all of you are onscreen at once.
You are in a unique position, therefore it is in your best interest to do what you feel is right, especially with all the experience you've gained.
Remember, your personal happiness comes first. We the actual fans will support you no matter what happens.
Just as we support everyone else we've seen over the years from the crew.
You got this ma'am. 👌
I’m really excited to get to know you better. I feel like over the past 5 years, we got to know you as Inga From Buzzfeed. But now that you’re independent, I’m looking forward to knowing you as Inga, just Inga, the one and only. Really glad you made this choice! You have such a loyal audience, so you will be super successful on this channel, we promise!
Good to hear that you are still going to be creating. It is your personality that I truly enjoy. Watching you try to learn a new technic, new dish or master a recipe that you grew up with. I have enjoyed it all (mostly - not into ASMR videos). Keep creating and sharing. Above all remember to be awesome, because you are AWESOME!
All the best, Inga!!! ❤ have always enjoyed watching your content so will be here supporting you 🥰
I actually really like your vlogs/perspective on things. as an asian American (and around your age) I feel like I can relate to you and find comfort in your content. it's calming and nostalgic, but also informative and nuanced. feel free to make anything you'd like because I'll always check it out
I second this. The calm and relaxing vlogs are what got me through some cold winters last year and hope to see more coming. I also like to see you expand further into a section kf things that interest you rather than catering to what you think everyone following will like.
Never commented on a video in my life, but I've watched pretty much every piece of content you've ever made. Excited to see you more on your own channel :)
We appreciate you, Inga! Thank you for sharing this with us. Cheers to your new beginnings :)
P.S. I super duper love your homemade dumplings recipe. I always revisit your channel for that.
I absolutely love all that you being to your food to your viewers to everything you do. You have such a joy that you share with all of us and I can’t wait to keep watching. ❤❤❤
I've never wanted to hug someone that i don't know this bad! You are one of my favorite creators and the cheerfulness and thought that you bring is more than enough. I feel like i could hear you talk for hours about whatever and still be entretained. Hopefully you can do something that resonates with you and you enjoy in a healthy way!
