Sok Sabay is a common greeting between Khmer people. Literally, it means peace and happiness but as a greeting, it is a way to ask how you are doing. In turn, you can reply with Sok Sabay to let others know you are well.

I started this project as a way to share Cambodian food with my friends so that they could get a little taste of my culture and also because I love to make food for people. Cooking during the pandemic has been very therapeutic for me and has easily become one of my favorite pastimes.

The core influence for the branding is my background as a First Generation Cambodian American. I use typical American diner aesthetics but fuse vibrant colors reminiscent of traditional Khmer textiles. Cambodian people have a rich history with color and I wanted to incorporate the vibrant textile work that reminds me of Cambodia.

This is an on-going project that I hope to keep working on and continuously improve upon.
