About Me

Welcome to my culinary journey! I am originally from Indonesia and have always had a deep love for traditional street food—a passion that continues to inspire my work today. Since moving to Montreal in 2007, I’ve embraced my new home while cherishing the flavors and memories of my roots. The vibrant food culture of Montreal has encouraged me to blend the comfort dishes of my childhood with Western culinary influences, creating unique fusion treats.

My Professional Journey

I call it accumulations of random skills. Over the years, my professional path has woven together a variety of experiences—from management studies and working as a website editor for an export company in Bali, to gaining accounting expertise and hands-on culinary and food service industry experience. Each of these roles has contributed to my unique perspective and approach, allowing me to draw inspiration from different fields. This mosaic of skills not only shapes my business but also fuels my creativity and adaptability as I build my dream in Montreal.

How My Path Took Shape

Honestly, every twist and turn in my career has sparked new ideas and kept things interesting. My journey hasn’t exactly been a straight line, but I keep coming back to what I love—comfort food, coffee, and staying true to my values of living freely and authentically.

These days, I balance my time between half-day work, baking, and pouring my energy into my own business. What drives me? I want to share the foods I love with Montreal community and connect with people, one tasty bite at a time.
