Get to know me better
SURI by Schira Hassan reinvents traditional vegan Malay dishes. She hopes to sell the problem she has helped solved.
SURI by Schira Hassan isn't just about replicating our mother’s cuisine, but stimulating something that is soulful and is fulfilling and at the same time something with relevance and a sense of place. That’s what i’m trying to get at. I’m trying to take people back to those times in their life where people who loved them cooked for them in a way which was really meaningful and really satisfying for them. Everything we eat make up our memory palate. Once you have a good range, you always have that to draw on and just subconsciously almost knowing what works and what doesn’t. I thought, “if there’s one customer that likes it, there will be others.” Suri has had a diverse range of returned clienteles from butchers to someone who simply just wants to try Malay cuisine that is made with the planet in mind.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
To cook for the pleasure of it is to declare independence from corporations seeking to organise our lives into yet another occasion for consumption.
I learned to cook at...
I have a very strong DIY ethos so there was no other option other than to cook ingredient-forward traditional vegan Malay dishes
A cooking secret...
In my creations, you can find my obsessions and my defects. The part of me that is very organized, that thinks there is no time to waste.
