Art of Fermentation Series

We are back at BuMI Fest, Tropical Spice Garden, Penang and created a 2-day exploration of living foods, microbes, and transformation !

Fermentation is a quiet intelligence found in grains, vegetables, and time itself.
It is not just technique — it is a way of listening to food as it becomes alive.

As part of , across two days, we move from understanding → tasting → composing.
