At Monsoon, we didn’t wake up and decide one day, we wanted to innovate and create a brand new cuisine. We first went back to our brand DNA which has roots in our Hakka culture coupled with our mission to help people lead a healthy sustainable lifestyle. The Hakkas fled their homes because of the war and set up their new lives in the lands across Asia. They fused cultural influences with their own and developed methods of food sustainability through preserving and fermentation. Use your mission, brand and vision as a springboard to craft a food experience that’s memorable and always remember to make your guest feel like they are the only ones that matter. I truly believe only then will you be able to innovate without even trying.

I approach winning over clients with innovative cocktail recipes by focusing on trust and collaboration. First, I listen to their concerns, whether about cost or customer reactions. Then, I highlight the benefits, like increased profits and attracting new customers. I suggest testing new cocktails as limited-time specials to reduce risk. Sharing the story behind the recipe adds a personal touch and makes it more relatable. Finally, I keep things flexible by offering tweaks to balance creativity with familiarity, ensuring they feel involved. With enthusiasm, value, and small wins, I help turn resistance into excitement.
