My Favorite Opening This Year!

Best friends Shelly Lin and Carmen Seetho met in the U.S. after immigrating from Indonesia and Singapore, respectively. Lin and Seetho, along with their families, had always wanted to open a food and drink business that could share their cultural foods and drinks. After many trips to Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and other countries for research, the duo was inspired to bring the Asian coconut trend to the States.

This has by far been my favorite opening in Los Angeles this year. Both Shelly and Carmen are the sweetest humans and their food and drinks are amazing. In addition to making fresh kaya, the taro, yam rice balls, and pandan chiffon cake are also made daily. Other specialty items include Malaysian tea, purple sticky rice dessert, and dairy-free coconut pudding mixed with fruit. You can also find qing bu liang, a vegan Cantonese dessert made to order with fresh fruits, mung beans, red beans, and coconut with the option of coconut milk and brown sugar syrup. Lin and Seetho are also currently testing a Vietnamese coconut shake that should debut soon.

I’m addicted and here all the time. I highly recommend. Hope you give them a try!
