In Meghalaya, the Thali is not just a dish. It is a gathering, and a celebration. Red Jaintia rice, Jastem smothered in Lakadong spice, Dai nai-iong lentils, a variety of pickles, salads, curries and broths, a hearty dose of vegetables, and meat, for those who are so inclined. The plate is abundant in flavour, and contains a kind of balance that comes from generations of wisdom. Chef Ahmedaki Laloo brings it to Zhouyu this June - From her home, to our table.

The same connection to the land that Chef Ahmedaki Laloo brings to the kitchen, and that Zhouyu Hosts was built around.

This one is for the the artists, the designers, the illustrators, and anyone who believes that the most moving work always comes from somewhere undeniably human.

Meet the chef behind Edition 01 of Zhouyu Hosts. Chef Ahmedaki Laloo ( ) doesn't just cook food she uses it to tell a story. A graduate in literature who found her true language in the kitchen, Chef Ahme founded A'Origins ( ) Shillong to honour Meghalaya's indigenous food on its own terms: fermented, smoked, foraged, slow-cooked, and built entirely on generational wisdom.

She believes guests remember stories and textures long after the meal ends, and that’s exactly what she brings to the table. A five-course menu built the way she was taught: slowly, intentionally, and with love. A menu that journeys from region, to memory, to home.

June 5th to 7th at Zhouyu, Chennai. Ticketed. Limited seats. Link in bio.

For the first edition of Zhouyu Hosts, we’re partnering with to take you to Meghalaya. A cuisine of fire, smoke, and altitude, of foraged mushrooms and Lakadong turmeric, of smoked meats and heirloom rice. A cuisine that carries a subtle kinship with our own kitchen, as the threads of technique, produce, and flavour that connect Meghalayan food to Chinese cuisine run long and deep.

Chef Ahmedaki Laloo, founder of A'Origins in Shillong, is one of the most important voices in indigenous Indian cooking today, and her mission is singular - bringing Meghalaya's food heritage to the table with rigour, intention, and zero waste. She arrives at Zhouyu with her produce packed and her menu ready. Five courses that move from region to memory to home.

This is Zhouyu Hosts: a series built on the belief that the most honest food tells the story of the place it comes from, cooked by someone who has lived it. June 5th to 7th. Limited seats. Stay tuned for booking info.

P.S: As a special surprise, we have an exciting unplugged session lined up with an acclaimed art director & illustrator. Watch this space for more details.
