Born in Cambodia, raised in Los Angeles, transplanted to Ticino: three continents, but solid roots from which the philosophy behind my cooking has developed. I was a caterer for many years, cooking and serving for so many people on so many occasions, from parties to corporate events.

At a certain point in my life, I felt the need for a change in the way I offer my culinary art to my clients: therefore, I chose to work as a personal chef, in order to offer not only excellent food, but above all an exclusive, elegant and personalized gourmet experience, each time different and never standardized, adapted to the needs, desires, and why not, the dreams of each of my clients.
