Our Heritage A Timeless Legacy of Culinary Excellence -
Our family's enduring connection to the food industry spans generations, rooted in entrepreneurial spirit, dedication, and passion. As a culinary specialist, food connoisseur, and aficionado, I proudly carry forward this legacy. This rich history began with my visionary great-great-grandmother, who courageously opened a modest lunch home at the railway station, catering to travelers in the early years. This pioneering step initiated our family's gastronomic journey.

From Humble Beginnings to Hospitality Leaders Originating from a farming background, our ancestors diversified into the food business, laying the foundation for our hospitality legacy. My grandfather furthered this vision by establishing our first family restaurant in 1959-60 and later expanding into hospitality with a full-fledged hotel, cementing our reputation as industry leaders.

A Personal Journey of Passion and Innovation Inspired by family stories, I pursued the family legacy and became the first to venture abroad, gaining valuable knowledge in hospitality and food. Upon returning, I joined the family business but sought to create something unique. Drawing from diverse experiences and a deep understanding of customer needs, I launched my own eatery, building a loyal customer base. This entrepreneurial venture fueled my passion, driving me to expand further in the culinary industry.

In Pursuit of Culinary Excellence With a natural inclination towards creative cooking, I strive to elevate the dining experience, thereby enhancing the quality of life for our patrons. At Popo, we believe exceptional cuisine transforms lives. Our mission is to provide an unparalleled dining experience, forged from a deep understanding of our customers' desires and a relentless pursuit of culinary innovation.
