About

Hoi, I’m Jjinmandu – wrapped with East Asian dough and filled with full of questions around the world.
For me, the kitchen is much more than just a place to cook; it’s a site of memory, struggle, and small acts of resistance.

At Manduland, I invite you to explore these food stories with me — stories that ask:
What are we really tasting? Whose hands grew, harvested, and prepared this food? And how do these flavors shape our understanding of the world and ourselves?

Together, let’s uncover the hidden layers behind what’s on our plates, and rethink the meanings of nourishment, culture, and power.
