A popular Indonesian food business ifromToronto is opening its first-ever permanent location next month.
What began as a passion project in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic is about to enter its most exciting chapter yet, as Toronto-based Indonesian food pop-up Sambal gears up to open its new brick-and-mortar this August.
"At first it was just a side hustle project, something fun to keep us busy, but it quickly became so much more," Jasson and Maureen tell us.
"For Indonesians here, the food felt nostalgic, [but] for everyone else, it was something completely new and exciting."
Still, Jasson and Maureen say that the Danforth community simply "felt right" for the next chapter of Sambal.
