Thank you for all guests enjoyed the food program at Harken coffee.

I’m no longer involved with their actual food menu for a while, hopefully until their reopen for their kitchen.

However I am stick around with them with my food project called “Maest”(pronounce like must), that is rebuilt my food project “Cookhatter”. I am doing this project since 2017.

The world is different since pandemic - the word “essential” is taking over everything.

Staying home is basic human life in the earth for now, travelling is banned, meeting people are limited, many of entertainment spots are closed, creative restaurants and some service industries are suffering.

Writing all those reality, feeling terrible, but I don’t want to give up.

We need to keep our creative ideas alive -

Having completely new ideas, or finding solutions that the creative people can survive with their ideas getting along with this world of conservatism.

Anyways, my project’s goal is making our clients smile with unique food experience, that is the same as before. The most important thing to make delicious food - love, not egos.

The menu will be different than the menu I made for the Harken - it won’t be Japanese food menu based. 

More focussing on ingredients and flavours, comfort yet fancy food with a twist of Japanese cooking ideas.

To start, popup 0.1 :

Weekend take away lunch box will be at Harken March 6 & 7th. 

The event will happen every week.

The details coming up very soon.
