Though my doors may be closed today, my kitchen is alive with the aromas that remind me of my Amma’s cooking. As I prepare our curry bases, pickles, and condiments, the familiar scents fill the air, transporting me back to cherished memories of her kitchen. Each simmering pot and each carefully measured spice feels like a love letter to the past.
I can almost hear my Thata’s wisdom & my brother’s laughter echoing through the space, and I know they’re watching over me, blessing this culinary journey.These moments of preparation aren’t just about food; they are a celebration of family, tradition, and the flavors that bind us.
I’m excited for Monday, October 28th. I can’t wait to share these lovingly crafted dishes with you all. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to welcoming you to a place filled with warmth, love, and the comforting taste of my home.

The countdown to CEO CookOff is on, and CANBERRA is just three weeks away on October 15th!

The CEOs and chefs joining us at Red Shed on Lake Burley Griffin have a message for any leader still on the fence:

🔥 “Don’t hesitate, get involved. Jump in, dive in, it’s a great experience.”
🔥 “Everybody walks away with a full stomach and a new contact list to call friends.”
🔥 “How often do you get to work in a kitchen with Michelin-star experienced chefs?”

CEO CookOff is a unique fundraising event where business leaders cook alongside Australia’s top chefs, then serve and share that meal with people from the charities OzHarvest supports. With so many people facing food insecurity across Australia, it’s a practical way to give back to your local community, and as one of our leaders put it, bringing people together is what leadership’s all about.

Zero cooking experience needed, just heart and purpose. Every $1 raised = 2 meals for people in need.

Thank you to Presenting Partner @bp.australia and National Partners @Biopak.packaging @ihghotels @av1_australia

HEAR YE, HEAR YE… 📣

Kinda last minute lol, but you know me… zero or hundred, no middles. 😂

So imma gonna be doing a little cooking demo TOMORROW 🤪 at @floriade_australia and I’m bringing out the OG OG Dhall Sambar — yup, my thatta’s one ❤️

The same dhall that found its way onto the @xorestaurant menu, and even made an appearance on the original @aksdiner menu.

I’m gonna get a lil in-depth with it too… the tricks, tips and little chefy secrets to making the creamiest, most delicious dhall sambar you’ll ever taste.

Eat it with rice.
Eat it with roti.
Dip some toasted bread in it.
Or hell… just eat it by itself

If you’ve had my dhall, you know

And I’m pretty sure thatta will be looking down tomorrow, smiling… happy and proud that his grandson took a little piece of our family food all the way from home in Malaysia, and brought it all the way to Australia

So if you’re not working tomorrow arvo, come say G’day.

I’m on 3–4pm, and I’ll even have a lil sampler of the dhall with rice at the end. 👀🍚

Come down, let’s celebrate Floriade, food, family and a little bit of sunshine 🌸

Hopefully it’s not as bloody cold as today. 🥶😂

Peace & Love ❤️

There’s always something rather beautiful about spring in Canberra… 🌸

The soft golden light, warmer afternoons, longer evenings, and that unmistakable feeling that the city is slowly coming back to life….. with lighter jackets & puffy’s 🫣

So, naturally, a little of that spring fever has found its way into our kitchen.
Chettinad Pork Neck Varuval …tender, deeply spiced, darkly aromatic and gloriously unapologetic…. just like XO days

Jeera Chicken …fragrant chicken kissed with toasted cumin, warm spices and all the comforting aromas of home.

Two new dishes for the new season …made for lingering over, and perhaps ordering that little bit more than you intended or seconds

Spring tastes pretty damn good at AK’s Diner. Happy Friyay ya’ll maybe see you later…. or not have a lovely weekend…

Lunch @aksdiner

Ordered across the board between us - fish sambal, jeera chicken, chickpea and potato curry, cauliflower masala, roti canai, curry puffs. Every bowl delivered in spades. Honest, properly cooked food, no fuss.

Total hole in the wall vibes.
