Penang Shack
Penang Shack started as a one-time fundraiser event to raise money for the Austin Justice Coalition in 2020, by cooking food that Nicolai grew up with from his family in Penang, Malaysia. These days, it’s a series of events that occur all around Austin—from street food pop-ups to tasting menu dinners—all with the goal of celebrating Malaysian flavors and dishes, with the occasional Texas twist.
