Kris Masengi

Meet Kris as she takes you to Indonesia:

Dubai is my favorite city. I feel very fortunate to have lived its world-class architecture and vibrant culture every day. It is impossible not to fall in love with a place you come to call home.

My next great adventure is China. I can't wait to immerse myself in its gastronomy and discover the millennia-old history that has shaped such a fascinating country.

My culinary weakness is the Shoyu Udon soup with salmon at Wokyo Noodle Bar in Dubai. I highly recommend it; I could eat it every day.

Even as an Indonesian, my heart is always captivated by the warmth of our people, the unmatched flavors of home cooking and the natural landscapes that fill me with pride to call it my home.

For me, traveling is embracing the thrill of discovery. It is a way of understanding the world and also of getting to know myself, because life is a unique journey that deserves to be explored to the fullest.

I love cooking and making charm accessories; both are a form of therapy for me. I enjoy experimenting with recipes from Asia and Latin America. I am trilingual: I speak Bahasa Indonesia, English and Spanish.
