Ugly Food & Co
Malay fusion meals and condiments, made by Mum.
Feeding people is in Sarah Gan’s DNA. Her Malay-Chinese Nyonya taught her how to cook from scratch, without measuring cups, and with the kind of intuition common to chefs. This mouthwatering culinary heritage made Sarah kinda famous in her neighbourhood. People couldn’t get enough of her warm, aromatic and subtly spicy dishes, so she made a business out of it: Ugly Food & Co. Sarah crafts every meal and condiment herself (how many brands can honestly say that?) using fresh produce from the Brisbane market. Her Beef Rendang, Pineapple “Achar” Pickles and Crunchy Chilli Oil are the best things you’ll ever taste, and her entire range is an expression of motherly love and complete kitchen mastery. Move over Mum.
✓ Naturally GF + DF – There’s nothing contrived or gimmicky here, just naturally allergy-friendly meals (think coconut milk, not cow’s) that your allergy-conscious customers will adore.
✓ A hungry market – Aussies are obsessed with Asian food. Ugly Food taps into the desire for fresh, healthy, homemade Asian options, which are still a rarity in the market.
