Where dishes revolve around the sun

Sakashita says it is surprising to see eventually embassies and foreign companies should reach them for catering service.

"A huge market is there for the medium-high end catering market in the capital now," she says.

"Prominent restaurant brands such as Flo and TRB are doing a great job in high-end catering. But not every event has a very high budget. We just fill the gap of quality catering that does not cost an arm and a leg.

"By quality catering I mean we do it using only the freshest and seasonal ingredients with no additives and preservatives, which is a far cry from catering food on the assembly line in a factory-style outlet outside the Fifth Ring Road."
