PART 1
How it all started.
Hey there! I’m Leo, the kid behind onionkid, and I’m so excited to share these amazing crispy shallots with you.
I started this journey because I couldn't stand the thought of people in the US missing out on the authentic, mouth-watering taste of Indonesian crispy shallots.
Growing up in Indonesia, these flavor-packed little nuggets were a staple in every meal. However, when I moved to the US, I couldn't find anything that matched the quality and taste I was used to.
For the longest time, I tried to make do with the bland shallots available here, but it just wasn't the same.
PART 2
The a-ha moment.
One day, my wife's BFF in Hong Kong sent her a care package filled with the most delicious crispy shallots from Indonesia, and it was like a lightbulb went off in my head.
I was so obsessed with these shallots, I begged my wife to help me track down where they came from. And let me tell you, it was like finding a needle in a shallot-stack.
But we finally found the source - a shallot queen by the name of Sianna, living in Cirebon, Indonesia. I knew these crispy delights needed to be shared with the world, so I teamed up with her to make it happen.
