Agus – Head Chef
A Bali-born chef with a passion for bringing the vibrant flavors of my heritage to the table. My culinary skills are deeply rooted in family traditions, as I’ve inherited all my delicious recipes from generations past. Each dish is a journey through the rich tapestry of Bali, a fusion of aromatic spices and unique techniques that make every meal a heartfelt experience.
Beyond the kitchen, my love for art and painting adds an extra layer to my culinary creativity. The strokes of my brush reflect the same confidence and comfort I bring to my cooking. Join me on this flavorful and artistic adventure, where the essence of Bali comes alive on the plate and canvas alike.
Kim – Pastry Chef
Originally from Thailand, Kim has been working as a pastry chef for over 7 years. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Culinary Arts from Dusit Thani College in Bangkok, she followed her passion for baking – inspired by her sweet tooth and love for desserts. Her experience includes working in pastry kitchens at five-star hotels such as Grand Hyatt Erawan and SO/ Sofitel Bangkok, as well as running her own small business, Kim Patisserie, in her hometown.
She has been living in Brisbane for the past 2.5 years, continuing her dream by studying a Diploma of Hospitality in Patisserie. She believes that learning never ends, and this program has helped her take a big step toward her goal of working abroad. As part of her training, she had the opportunity to work at Sofitel Brisbane, continuing her journey in five-star hospitality.
Kim finds joy in every part of baking, especially the moment when cakes rise in the oven. For her, baking isn’t just a job – it’s something that brings happiness, peace, and personal growth.
In her free time, Kim enjoys discovering new restaurants and cafes to gain fresh inspiration, or cooking at home and enjoying some quiet time to recharge and reflect.
