Our Story

It all began in early 2019 (before Melbourne’s many lockdowns and restrictions) when we were treated to a delicious feast of plump and juicy home made dumplings by Naryman Tarvand. We were entrusted with the job of preparing the condiments and the essential chilli oil. The quest began!!  We were seeking the balanced flavours of the chilli condiments from the street food of our childhood in Malaysia.

Our humble spicy chilli oil was conceived. The dumplings were delicious as always but our chilli oil was a hit!!!

We wrote down the recipe as our friends and family were hankering for more.

We are a team of enthusiastic home chefs and food lovers who happen to be sisters. Two of us in Melbourne and one in LA. Our whatsapp messages are filled with photos of food we cook and recipes we exchange. Our childhood memories are filled with delicious aromas wafting from our mother’s kitchen. 

We love creating magic in our home kitchens.  All we need to do is to look at Sister No 3 and we know if we have nailed it or not – which according to her – is almost always.

You know when you love food and have a knack of creating your own versions.  While you are eating something, your mind starts deconstructing things and tries to recreate the flavours. This is exactly how our journey to create this product begun.

That dumpling meal put us on the path to create our own version of Chilli Oil. Add a bit of experimentation, carefully researched ingredients and a few friendly arguments later, we had in front of us the fragrant & spicy, full-bodied golden amber coloured oil full with flavours along with the yummy bits that takes whatever you eat to the next level.

After devouring it ourselves for a few months we decided to test it on our family & friends. Their positive and motivating responses encouraged us to put it out in the market.

As with anything you create you always strive to improve and make it better, which we did. The support from all our customers has been exceptional and the feedback encouraging.  Our labour of love.
