About Me

Some of my earliest memories are from my grandmother's kitchen in Indonesia: washing rice, sorting vegetables, getting sent into the backyard to pick mangoes and guava. There was so much love in that kitchen, and although I was too young to give it a name, I knew I wanted to be in there.

I left that kitchen years ago, but I've never stopped cooking from it. Underground Dining is built on the same idea: humble ingredients, treated with care and finesse. With three years as a culinary professional and hands-on experience hosting private events, I would love to connect and hear about the event you're planning for.

This fixed rate reflects an average of 25–30 hours of work behind every event: menu planning, grocery shopping, food preparation, event execution, and final cleanup.

Depending on the menu and number of guests, a sous chef and/or server may be added to the final cost to ensure smooth execution and proper flow throughout the dinner.
