“The beginnings of Pink Chilli in a Bowl can be traced back to an instinctive need to make a home out of a new place I'm living in… understanding how and what a city consumes regularly is a way to experience heritage, culture and the current zeitgeist.” – Isabelle Der HagopianStreets are a crucial city element that embodies a large part of public life and the interim nature of a city.
