RASA
/ˈrʌsəː/ – taste, flavour, feel, explore, be conscious of (being)
Do you enjoy authentic Asian food but feeling frustrated that it’s difficult to find the real deal in the Netherlands?
I definitely am. I come from Penang island of Malaysia, where it is known as one of places with the best street food in the world. That’s how RASA Pop-up Dinners came about. I want to share authentic Malaysian flavours and culture in my cosy home. Come enjoy a night of Malaysian flavours, good food, exchanging cultures, sharing a table with strangers, and making friends. You will be delighted with rich flavours of Malaysian food that comes from an infusion of Chinese, Malay and Indian cuisine, and be prepared to be overfed with our Malaysian hospitality.
Note: It is an intimate dinner experience in the comfort of my home, for a max of 6 guests with communal food sharing on the long table.
