Gravy Baby x In Bad Company

In this pop-up, both Carmen and Tim dug deep into their Peranakan backgrounds.

All hands on deck for this once-in-a-lifetime event with Carmen /GravyBaby.


Dinners at Tim's grandma's home were full of hearty, robust flavours - grandma didn't skimped on the spices. Nobody left the table without a satisfied and full belly. Similarly, Carmen remembers her childhood being surrounded by a big family at the dinner table - 29 cousins to be exact! Carmen's alter ego, "Gravy Baby" is where she embodies her Teochew-Peranakan roots and recreates her childhood foods and flavours by injecting her own style, curating fun and unexpected dishes.



R&D (Research and Development) started in the early stages of In Bad Company - July 2021 to be exact. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was this event menu 😌
