A Day in the Life takes you into the everyday of local creatives and business owners as they show you the best of their city.
Backstory.
We caught up with Kirthanaa Naidu, on her backstory and favourite local spots in London. “Growing up in Malaysia, I was exposed to incredible foods and flavours, which I’ve carried with me to the UK. Food means so much to me, it can remind me of home, show love to friends and family, and bring communities together. This is what my brand is about, it’s a reflection of myself and my experiences. One thing I’m really looking forward to post-COVID, is being able to host supper clubs. It will be amazing to share my Malaysian food with new people in my home.”
