About Chef: Her story in her own words: I was born in Pune (small town in India), grew up in Hong Kong & have taken the liberty without any regrets of calling HK my home.Growing up in HK is a privilege and you quickly take into account the availability of all cultures and society that strongly prevail.
My love and passion for people and their cultures were prevalent at a very early age, hence the desire and journey for growth & inspiration in the knowledge of food commenced with great fervour.
It is easy to fall in love with HK, the colours and smells in a wet market laden with fresh produce, seafood, poultry, meat, spices, herbs, all varieties of staples such as wood ear mushroom, moss, fungi……to mention a few. The choices offered are enough to inspire and educate even the most amateur palette, to say the least.
