Nato Inclinato: A Chinese Italian Dinner

"going to italian restaurants i have always wished i had brought with me a pair of chopsticks to eat the pasta dishes the way i would noodles. this memory of wanting was the birth of “nato inclinato”, which translates to born slanted.

the arrangements meld chinese and italian flavors, textures, and aesthetics by using their ingredients interchangeably. conceptually, they feel and taste as if they are cut from the same cloth. Hence, nato inclinato, the imagination of what dishes would come out of a complete amalgamation of the two cultures."
