The Bowlcut
Bowlcut offers a selection of natural Asian American sweet and spicy chili sauces. The brand was founded during the pandemic by Crystal Ung, Adrian Ng and Will Kang out of inspiration from their parents and childhood experiences: “Our restaurants were a crucial space in helping us navigate two distinct worlds, and food was our bridge between them. Food establishes a sense of place, and time. Traditional meals helped us feel tethered to home, even as we moved further away as adults. We want to bring that sense of comfort to you, wherever you may be.” Shop their products to boost your kitchen game!
