The Local Menu
These are the two-dollar stall snacks I grew up on, taken apart at the component level and rebuilt as a plated course. I'm not dressing them up to be fancier than they are — I'm just finally giving them the technique they never got. Scroll through each course below for the photo, the story behind it, and the actual food science behind why it works.

The Cultural Edition
Neighbourhood is running now — but there's a full culture-season roadmap behind it: Malay, Indian, Chinese, Peranakan, each its own volume, each built around real household food instead of what's easy to plate.

Pick a session.
Let me handle dessert.
Pick a session. That's the only real decision. Everything after that is mine to handle. I'm not staffing a floor — there's me, in a home kitchen, cooking for whoever's booked that slot. Four seats, one cook, one session at a time. Get the format right and the rest takes care of itself.
