Doing anything for the first time is always the most difficult, but Ann Mary J & Prema John steered and pulled off the first LFC meetup effortlessly. Thank you for setting the momentum for such great camaraderie. It sure didn’t feel like the first time, and the talk, the food, and the general vibe was a real treasure!

What does local mean to you?
It’s about sourcing ingredients from people I know, and seeing the faces and hearing the stories behind them.
It’s more than just an enduring food memory—it’s a loving, nostalgic one. I still remember when my father once messaged me while I was in class, saying, ‘Chicken noodles waiting for you at home.’
