Pop-up Indonesian Rijsttafel Event

Over the summer, I had the pleasure of photographing a pop-up Indonesian dinner in Seattle made by Evelyn Hung (Chef Lyn), held at the Taurus Ox restaurant space. It was essentially a Rijsttafel — an array of small Indonesian dishes served with rice, showcasing the diversity of Indonesian cuisine.

I got a few behind-the-scenes shots, some food shots, and some images of the space. I also got the privilege of tasting the food after photographing it, which was a special treat. If you get a chance to go to one of Chef Lyn's events, do it!
