Chae
Chae is the culinary project of chef Jung Eun Chae — an intimate, six-seat dining experience in the Dandenong Ranges dedicated to slow food and traditional Korean fermentation. After moving to Australia in 2006, Chae found herself longing not only for the flavours of home, but for the rituals, patience and heritage that shaped them. That longing became her life’s work. At the heart of Chae’s cooking are her handmade condiments, each fermented and aged in clay Onggi vessels using centuries-old methods passed down through her family. Every ferment takes months or years to complete, meaning each dish begins long before it reaches the table. Set in her own home, CHAE is a six-seat restaurant like no other. Every meal is an intimate, immersive experience, where you witness years of fermentation, heritage and care come together on a single plate. It’s a rare chance to taste Korean cuisine at its most thoughtful.

Chae's Manneung Ganjang by Chae & Alice Oehr

Australia’s most sought-after Korean restaurant now has a place in your home. This is artist Alice Oehr’s tribute to Chae’s Manneung Ganjang — the all-important seasoned soy sauce that sits at the heart of chef Jung Eun Chae’s cooking.

Chae grew up watching her grandmother tend to the family’s Onggis — clay vessels that protect ferments through months of slow, careful transformation. That memory now lives on in the Dandenong Ranges at her eponymous restaurant CHAE (which is also her home), where Chae adapts the same traditional techniques to the mountainous Australian climate, overseeing her own collection of Onggis imported from Korea. Chae makes every condiment and ferment from scratch, meaning every dish at CHAE begins years before it reaches the table.

Illustrator Alice Oehr captures this story in her signature bold colour and pattern: the Onggi takes centre stage, surrounded by dancing soy beans. It’s an artwork that celebrates patience, heritage and the beauty of a process that can’t be rushed.
