Karen Young is one of the pioneers in the pastry business and was one of the first — if not the first — to offer red velvet cake, which up to today is one of her bestsellers. She has a cookie version of it and it is a must-try, if you have not tried it yet.
Recently, she expanded her offerings to include savory food so now you can have a complete dining experience, from appetizer to dessert.
Karen now has a new home in Pasig, a home just like in a fairytale, which you shouldn’t miss.
“I like the TV show Little House on the Prairie,” shares Karen, adding that this is where she got her inspiration for the new Karen’s Kitchen. Her friend, Joi Santos Cutter, interpreted her vision and designed the place and its interiors. It is the warm and cozy interiors that will make you want to enjoy the food and ambiance with friends and family. You will be surrounded by photos, quotes and an assortment of pieces she collected during her travels.
All her dishes are so well thought out and every dish is so pretty, just like her. You will see a lot of hearts — heart-shaped dinnerware and heart-shaped food made with a lot of love.
I go to a restaurant to have a good meal and that is what I came for when I visited Karen’s Kitchen. But when I visited the place I got more than just a good meal. I took with me lots of love and warmth from God through Karen, who radiates His message and love. A poster on top of the piano reads “Thank you for the food before us, the friends beside us, the love between us and your presence among us.”
