SEILA is the resilient effort to “rise above the ruins” of the past to confidently share my unique Cambodian American upbringing one pop-up at a time. It is heavily inspired by my Cambodian heritage and Texas born Southern roots. However, it celebrates the bounty of the Pacific Northwest and bends with the world around me.

My mission is to cook from the heart, ignite the senses, and honor my Cambodian heritage while celebrating diversity.  I want to foster community connections by crafting memorable moments that linger long after the last bite where every meal tells a story.
