What is RASA? 

It’s more than a dinner series - it’s gathering of flavors, stories, and community inspired by Southeast Asia.

Curious what that looks (and tastes) like? ✨Join the next table!

Reflections of RASA ep. 04 - 

We’re turning 1 🎉 RASA truly has been a labor of love & a great reminder to slow down. 

When I hosted my first dinner, I didn’t know exactly what I was building. But now, I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to create a space for people to connect, enjoy some good Southeast Asian food, and just be…

Thank you always for your support & If you’ve been looking for a sign to try a new experience, this is it ✨

If you’ve ever eaten at a Southeast Asian table, you’ve probably noticed that sambal has a way of showing up alongside just about everything. 

But sambal is more than just a condiment 🌶️

There are countless varieties and adaptations - and one spoonful can completely change a dish.

There’s a first time for everything! ✨ Last Sunday, I had the privilege of speaking at a panel alongside some of SD’s greatest at Mixed Asian Day. We talked about authenticity, our identities, and how all of that culminates in the food we bring to the table. 

Such a joy to be able to share my story and learn from others doing incredible things that showcase their true selves! Thank you @heyannastrong @magnaye.sd @its_breadandbutter @matcha.y.miel and of course, @mixedasianmedia and @goldenguideorg for putting together such an amazing day 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Martabak manis. Diabetes in a box, but an absolute must!

Pitstop at the Hindu temple to pray I didn’t gain too much weight & for mercy from from the heat 🙏

Behind the Table, pt. 09.

My first time back home 🇸🇬 since starting RASA gave me a whole new appreciation for the food I grew up with ✨ 

Being able to walk a few hundred meters to a hawker center and choose from so many different dishes barely scratches the surface of what makes Singapore’s food culture so special. I never really stopped to think about the layers of ingredients, history, and stories behind each dish until now.

So glad I got to eat my way through Singapore and explore it from a whole different lens. My heart (and tummy) sure is bursting 🫶🏽

A supper club isn’t a restaurant - and that’s kind of the point.

No à la carte menu. No rushing through dinner. No sitting at your own little table.

Just one menu, one table, good food, good music, and a room full of people sharing the same experience.

We’re not just serving dinner. We’re curating an evening we want you to be part of 🫶🏽

Can we collectively agree we should stop calling pandan “Asian vanilla”?

It’s so much more complex and deserves a lot more credit. It’s versatile, it’s brighter, it is what it is.

It’s been a couple of weeks but I’m still reminiscing our last RASA dinner ✨

Good food, full glasses, conversations buzzing. Just the kind of night that makes you wanna linger just a little longer. 

Till the next one - dates dropping soon!
