Zuki Girls
Meet Carmen Cita
Carmen Cita grew up driven to school in chaperoned limousines. She was haughty and naughty until she fell in love with a visiting American tattoo artist studying with renowned Tatak ‘To mark’ practitioners in the art of Filipino tribal tattoos. Lee taught her everything about her country history — Including the right of passage to bear tattoos, so when one crosses the veil, your ancestors can recognize you and greet you. At Zuki Moon, you are always welcome!
Meet Lola
Lola is a high fashion model who secretly wants to become a chef and follow in the footsteps of her famous sushi-chef father. She grew up in Palawan, an archipelagic home to heavenly beaches and emerald lagoons that make a kaleidoscope of colors created by the 800 fish species and 120 species of coral. Lola believes in sustainability. At Zuki, we follow the best practices by the Marine conservancy. Lola says,"if we don’t have it, you should not be eating it."
Meet Ting Ting
Like the “British Invasion” punk—a rebellion movement sparked by youth on the streets - Southeast Asia included. Filipinos were among the first in that region to develop their own spin on hardcore punk; and continues to this day.
Ting Ting is a DJ and in a punk band called ‘Bahala Ka N’a’ Which means “It’s up to you.” The name pokes fun at parents who try to convince you of one thing but you do the other. It’s a well known phrase among Filipino youth! Ask one. Yep at Zuki, eat a little bit of this, drink a little bit of that… it’s up to you!
