Get to know me better
With over a decade of experience in professional kitchens and pop-up dinners across the US, I bring a deeply personal approach to my cuisine.
With over a decade of experience in professional kitchens and pop-up dinners across the U.S., I bring a deeply personal and refined approach to my cuisine. I specialize in Southeast Asian, Indian, Italian-pasta making, and global.
My food is a love letter to my heritage — a bold, sensory-driven journey shaped by ancestral memory, seasonal ingredients, and global technique.
Each dish I prepare is crafted with intention: honoring the lands we gather on, the farmers who feed us, and the rich, layered stories of Southeast Asian and South Indian diasporas. I specialize in creating immersive, multi-course meals that are rustic yet elegant — whether it’s frog legs tossed in lime leaf sambal or rendang-braised agnolotti, I aim to surprise, comfort, and connect through every bite.
My service is thoughtful, inclusive, and collaborative. I love curating menus that reflect the mood of your gathering — from intimate dinners to celebratory feasts — and weaving in details that feel personal and memorable.
If you’re looking for a chef who brings depth, soul, and a unique culinary perspective to your table, I’d be honored to cook for you.
