The executive chef of Unicorn, Kim has over 30 years of cuisine experience. She began her cooking lessons at a young age while living in Shan Tou, a region next to Canton, China. There she learned the art of Chao Zhou cuisine. When she moved to Vietnam she added Vietnamese cuisine to her specialties. Kim and her husband Bo, who specializes in Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, opened their first successful restaurant in Saigon, Vietnam called Ka'lin. Like the Unicorn, Ka'lin is a mystical beast mandated by heaven to bring prosperity to the land. In the Greek tale of the Unicorn's horn of plenty, Zeus broke the horn of a goat and offered it to the people for their prosperity. The tale of Ka'lin resembles the Unicorn's tale by emphasizing purity, serenity and an auspicious omen.
