From the spice-scented highlands of Minahasa to the coral cathedrals of Bunaken — one grandmother’s kitchen at a time.

Begin Your Journey

Sulawesi, the Orchid-Shaped Wonder

Shaped Like An Orchid, Alive With Secrets.

Sulawesi is four peninsulas that forgot to separate, home to ancient megaliths, maleo birds nesting in volcanic sand, and the Tangkoko jungle where tarsiers watch you with eyes the size of moons. We know the hidden paths, the silent reefs, and the villages where the ancestors still whisper.

North Sulawesi, the Christian Highlands & Underwater Eden

800 Metres Above Sea Level and 80 Metres Below — Both Feel Like Church.

Here, choirs sing in four-part harmony at 5 a.m. and turtles glide over coral gardens at noon. Bunaken’s reefs are a living cathedral, Tangkoko’s jungles a wild sermon. We move slowly between both worlds, plate in one hand, Bible in the other.

Minahasa, Where The Volcanoes Feed The Soul

Three Active Volcanoes. One Table.

Lokon, Mahawu, Soputan still give ash every few years — and every time they do, the carrots grow sweeter, the klappertaart rises higher, and the people sing louder.

Tomohon, The Gastronomy Heart

Tomohon — City of Flowers, Capital of Klappertaart, Home of 1 000 Grandmothers

26 km from Manado. 1 hour from the airport. An eternity from ordinary life. Every street ends in a kitchen. Every kitchen ends in tears of joy.
