KITCHEN OF
ENCOUNTER

The new Mediterranean cuisine

Like Ma Khin, we believe in the evolution of cooking through encounter. This is the new Mediterranean cuisine: inspired by a local product of the highest quality and the result of the encounter of this product with the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia.

where we are?

who was ma khin?

You can read more about Ma Khin’s story and the time he lived in in our book: Burma: Food, Family and Conflict.

Ma Khin was born in 1883 in Moulmein, Burma (now Myanmar). Her story and that of her family was marked by the colonial era in which she lived, and above all by her meeting with her husband William Carr, a judge in the former British colony.
 
Ma Khin’s story inspires our restaurant and our cuisine. We acknowledge the colonial heritage and work for greater understanding between the different peoples of the world by sharing our gastronomic stories.
