Malaysian, Asian cuisines, Cajun Cooking
Juliah is born and raised in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. After high school, she went to Louisiana State University and graduated with a degree in Landscape Architecture. She also met her husband at university, but romance did not blossom until after she returned to Malaysia. After more than a year of long-distance courtship, Juliah moved to Heidelberg in 1989, got married and started working as a freelance landscape architect.
Juliah is passionate about cooking, baking and pampering her guests with delicious food. In 1998, she started Serai, a catering business specializing in Malaysian and Asian cuisines for clientele in the Rhine-Neckar region. She was also the owner of the Malaysian restaurant “Serai” in Heidelberg from 2011 till early 2016. Juliah has been conducting cooking classes at various locations since 2000 – her diverse offerings include children’s cooking sessions (birthday parties) and corporate team building events. On every third Saturday of the month, you can find Juliah at Heidelberg’s Weststadt-Samstagmarkt serving popular Malaysian street food.
In March 2016, Juliah founded “Cooking for HOPE”, a project to aid refugees, specifically teenagers who arrive in Germany on their own, without their parents or families.
