story

I am Australian, born and raised in Melbourne by a Chinese Malaysian father and an Australian mother. Growing up, pandan was the flavour of my summers when I visited family in Malaysia.

That’s how this pandan latte was born. A little piece of my childhood, reimagined for modern café culture.

The name “Yum Pandan” is a play on words - “Yum” meaning “to drink” in my father’s native Cantonese, but also an expression that something is tasty in my mother’s native English.
