Hi, I’m Akbar Ashari. I love food. I can’t cook it like a chef or break it down like a critic, but I know how to eat, and I know when something is delicious.
I got it from my dad. He loved to eat, and growing up in Indonesia, he made sure I got to try a lot of different food. I moved to the US in 2018, and I’m now an MBA student at UC Davis.
I started this website as a school project, but it’s become a place for my food journey. Here’s what I care about: taste. Food doesn’t have to look pretty or be in the trendiest part of town. Some of the best meals I’ve found come from small vendors in places that don’t get much attention.
I want more people to find them. So I’m putting them here, one plate at a time.
