Selected Work
Three kinds of close work, one pair of hands: sushi at the counter, nail art at the bench, and a family kitchen in Shan State before either of them.
Sushi & Kitchen
- Catering platters — Large-format platters built for events, scaled to the guest count — parties of fifty through gatherings of five hundred. Prep is timed so everything leaves the kitchen at peak presentation rather than sitting.
- Event setup & service — The part of catering that happens away from the kitchen: loading out, building the display on site, serving guests through the event, then breaking the whole thing down and putting the room back.
- Sashimi & specialty rolls — A tray laid out at the counter: fanned salmon and tuna sashimi, and rolls from a repertoire of more than twenty — mango, avocado, spicy, each cut and set to the same standard across the whole tray.
Burmese & Shan Cooking
- Hand-made noodles — Made from scratch at Maomamkham, the family food business in Muse, and produced in batch for daily service and for community events — the same recipe held steady across large quantities.
- Meatballs — Prepared from scratch alongside the noodles, for daily service and for community events.
- Tofu — Burmese tofu is made from split-pea flour rather than soy, which is what gives it the colour and the set. Served warm and soft, dressed with chilli oil, crushed peanuts, sesame and coriander.
Nail Art
- Custom nail art — Hand-painted detail, worked out with the client first: design, shape and colour talked through at the start, then a rough idea taken to a finished set inside the appointment.
- Manicures, pedicures & gel — Full manicure and pedicure services and gel application at AMC Nails in Catonsville, building a returning client base. Tools and station sterilised to Maryland board standards between clients.
