I grew up on the lush island of Java, one of ten children in a lively household where the kitchen was the heart of our home. My mother, my sisters, and I spent our days gathered around pots bubbling with fragrant spices, cooking meals that brought everyone together. That love for food—and the joy of sharing it—has been with me ever since.
Eventually, I put down roots in South Carolina—drawn by its warmth, its people, and its comfort food. While I love cooking Southern classics (yes, I make a mean fried chicken and mashed potatoes!), my passion has always been sharing the vibrant, complex dishes that shaped my childhood and travels. Over the past two decades, I’ve continued expanding my culinary repertoire to include flavors from Korea, Vietnam, and Japan.
Every sauce, every dish, and every spice blend I create is made from scratch using the freshest ingredients—some passed down through generations, others taught to me by my mentors. When you walk into my kitchen, you’re not just getting a meal; you’re experiencing my story.
