The Story of Olivia

Olivia was never someone who could sit still and know the world through books and tales of sailors, knowing there is so much more to see, smell, taste and feel of the world out there first-hand for herself. Since young, whenever Olivia would have the chance to go to the cities or ports in a posh carriage, the different peoples, language, cultures and food would captivate her and stir her desire for greater knowledge, new discoveries and possibilities – ‘Home’ had to be bigger than one with a roof.

As Olivia sails from one sea to another, she learned to see the world in a different shade; but no experience would impact her more than that of the cuisines of each country – from the vibrancy of Mediterranean cuisines, to the deep spices of Indian, and the gentle balance of the Oriental.

At Olivia & Co., the intrepid traveller brings these experiences from different territories across the globe and tells her tales from a plate.
