Your private chef in Hong Kong
Chef Novy has an absolute passion for everything related to food. From foraging in the beautiful Lantau Island countryside to hand planting her own produce in her own garden. Every meal she has personally designed herself, with all her menus influenced by her Indonesian heritage and her mum's home cooking. Her craft is a mix of inspiration from food around the world that she's picked up on her travels.
She even knows how to make a mean cocktail and can include this in the experience. Her joy and passion flow through everything she touches and when you eat her food you know that it has been made with love!

“Novy transformed our home dining room into something truly special. The flavours were unlike anything you can find in commercial restaurants—deep, layered, and presented with genuine warmth.”
“The cooking class was engaging, lively, and incredibly delicious. We didn't just learn a recipe; we learned the logic of balancing Indonesian spices.”
“Novy catered our garden celebration and the table was pure theatre—banana-leaf platters, orchid details, and flavours my guests still talk about. Effortless hosting from first call to final cleanup.”
