K/Lab: A Culinary Dialogue
“We are thrilled to launch the K/Lab program, where food becomes more than just sustenance; it’s a flavorful journey of connections, a joyful endeavor to nurture a healthier planet, and a celebration of diverse heritage.
Through K/Lab, we weave together the rich traditions, landscapes, and passions of various cultures, including Indonesia and Mexico, creating a unique tapestry of shared experiences that inspire our creative endeavors.”

At K/Lab, diversity is our playground, and it turns out that the more diverse your plate, the more diverse its ingredients’ properties are, enhancing your well-being. This program is a collaborative effort of multicultural and multidisciplinary artistic teams from Singapore, Indonesia, Belgium, the US, Malaysia, and Mexico.
K/Lab serves as a laboratory of culinary experiences that focuses on the dialogue between cultures through ingredients sourced from local farmers, the rediscovery of the value of heritage and, the knowledge of healthy benefits of biodiverse producees.
In a globalized world, we’ve strived for efficiency, which has taken a toll on the planet and soil. It’s time to de-industrialize our food and embrace local options. You don’t have to look far; you can create a Michelin-star-worthy dish using regional ingredients. Experience a spectrum of colors, textures, tastes, and delightful aromas.
At K/Lab, we foster a dialogue of evolving cultures, supporting local growers and promoting cultural diversity that champions locally sourced sprouts. Healthy food equals a healthy planet.
